Montgomery Ward was the other source for affordable tools.
I still use the welder i bought at thier going out of business sale.
IIRC they even sold logan lathes back in the 50's.
Power-Kraft was thier label.

Pennys sold tools as well...but they were nowhere as prolific as Sears

IRRC..they sold PennCraft tools. Which were rebadged SnapOn back in
the late 60s early 70s..I think.
