Montgomery Ward was often colloquially referred to as "Monkey Ward" due to a combination of its name being somewhat awkward to say and the playful nature of the nickname. The term was also used in a somewhat derogatory manner, suggesting a lack of sophistication or implying that the company's products were of lower quality. Additionally, the nickname gained traction during the mid-20th century, becoming a part of popular culture.
