Jackie’s Montgomery Ward Memory
Special thanks to Jackie M. from Kansas City for sharing her Montgomery Ward memory with us. Jackie will receive a $50 gift card to wards.com for sharing her story with us. Don’t forget: you can also share your Montgomery Ward story or memory with us!
“When I was a kid, there were only three people in my family living in the Midwest: my mother, my sister and me. My Father had passed away many years before and so there were only us three girls. We were really poor; however, my sister and I did not know that. My mother was a wonderful provider and knew how to stretch a dollar and make life fun.
“Each year before the school year began, my sister and I would get new school clothes and a new pair of shoes. We would all get in my mother’s 1963 Ford Falcon (without air conditioning) and we would drive to Montgomery Ward to make our treasured purchases. I can still remember the smell of the store, all the wonderful sites and new things we saw and each new year we anticipated our trip. I will always remember with great fondness that wonderful place.”
