Wow. Montgomery Ward -- source of the ad dating the game -- doesn't even exist anymore:
Montgomery Ward Inc. is the name of two historically distinct American retail enterprises. It can refer either to the defunct mail order and department store retailer, which operated between 1872 and 2001, or to the current catalog and online retailer also known as Wards.
I was thinking "Does Montgomery Ward even exist anymore? I can't recall the last time I saw one." I searched and, to my surprise, the Wards.com website came up.
Then I checked Wikipedia. Nope, it is not the website for the now defunct department store chain. It's a different entity.
