Montgomery Ward Catalog

Maybe it was Best that I was thinking of rather than Service Merchandise .... though to DO remember S.M. as well.  The conveyor belt sounds familiar along with filling out a slip.  Bought my first leatherman that way.

I think SM purchased BEST at some point (or the other way around).

I've got a 7.5HP outboard from the 60s that says Montgomery Wards on the side of it. It might also be the one with Ted Williams name on it. Collectors item? 

Scrap Value or Reef

Ted Willams endorsed Sears Roebuck & Co. sporting goods. Just one month ago I sold my 40 year old, chopped glass, 12 foot long 'Gamefisher' for $1.00, wasn't worth much more, given its condition. I paid $120.00 for it new. The same day I unloaded a 30 year old Bayliner Capri Cuddy that one, no longer had any value. Until this year I had kept the license up to date.
