I just got a banner ad at DU for Montgomery Ward.

It seems to be a line of credit cards now.

What gives?

1. I'm seeing an ad for an attorney.

2. I see an ad for a fire place.

3. Yes, but there are still attorneys and fireplaces. Montgomery Ward? Not so much. NT

4. Look up Montgomery Wards on wikipedia.

It's an interesting story about how failure to accept progress will doom your business.

Apparently, the name was purchased and relaunched as an online and catalogue retailer.

5. I have a railroad scanner from MW, as well as a microwave oven and a set of battery jumper cables.

Sigh.

6. The Montgomery Ward name is still in use

I occasionally get their catalog.
Not the same as we knew in the 'good old days'.
