Where did Monkey Wards come from?

The Montgomery Ward & Co. department store chain was founded by Aaron Montgomery Ward in 1872 in Chicago. The company was originally known as Montgomery Ward & Co. and was later shortened to Montgomery Ward. The company's headquarters were located in Chicago until 2001 when they were moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Montgomery Ward was one of the largest department store chains in the United States until it filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and closed all of its stores.
