Explore the rich commercial history of the United States with this 1969 reprint of the 1922 Montgomery Ward & Co. Catalogue. Measuring a substantial 13" by 10" and spanning 672 pages, this volume was released to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the company. It replicates Catalogue No. 97 from the Fall and Winter of 1922-23, providing an incredible resource for historians, researchers, and lovers of Americana. Inside, you will find thousands of illustrations and descriptions for everything from flapper-era clothing and farm equipment to early electronics and home furniture.
The book includes special introductions by Robert E. Brooker and Louis Sobol, adding valuable context to the cultural significance of the mail-order industry. While this copy is in good condition, it authentically shows its age through minor shelf wear and signs of use on the softcover, which only adds to its character as a vintage reference piece. It is a perfect gift for genealogists, antique collectors, costume designers, or anyone who enjoys the nostalgia of the classic "Wish Book" era. This oversized volume makes an excellent conversation piece for a coffee table or a permanent addition to a historical library.
This book is vintage, over 55 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
