Montgomery Ward to Close Bluefield Store in 1974

Montgomery Ward & Co announced the Bluefield retail and catalog store will close effective January 26, 1974. Fifty-six employees are affected, with some eligible for transfer to a new location at the company’s expense. Ben Bates of Baltimore said the closure is reluctant and due to a lack of a suitable shopping center site at a reasonable price. The building at 320 Federal Street is owned by the R. W. Honaker Estate, with the estate’s trust officer A A Modena noting efforts to attract new tenants and optimism for downtown Bluefield.
