1932 Montgomery Wards Ad
From a 1932
newspaper found in my house…. While my brother Mark
was in town helping with the house after the flood of 2011 , he found an old electrical box behind a
wall in the entry way. A couple pages of the Minot Daily from 1932 were stuffed
into the box. The next 10 days or so will be based on that newspaper.
.....Montgomery Wards was celebrating Ward Week. Some of the specials included
a special buy on men’s overalls for 77 cents a pair. Boys overalls were on sale
for 3 pair for $1.00. Women’s coats in tweed, crepes or diagonal linens were
sale priced at $8.88 each. Men’s wool sweaters priced at $1.44 and a 2 gallon
can of Pennsylvania Motor Oil was only $1.00. And with every clothes washer
purchased received a free clothes basket.
