Yes, you read correctly. I bought that Washer from Montgomery Ward. When’s the last time you thought about or even heard the name Montgomery Ward? It, like Sears, K-Mart, Woolworth, etc… have all disappeared. What once was thriving department stores in America are only distant memories for most and  for some, may have never heard of them. I’m not saying that this Amana washing machine has survived this long BECAUSE I bought it at that store, I’m guessing that since I’m a single man that it doesn’t get as used as often than if I was married with a family. Still, I think it’s pretty cool that this “ancient relic” is still up and running.
