Montgomery Wards both BM/.com but they also are trying to pull this one off:
Customer Lists
NuEdge Systems seeks companies interested
in acquiring Wards' customer lists. Take advantage of Montgomery
Ward's unique client and POS transaction data. Wards has deleted all
"Do Not Solicit" customers from the customer lists. This is not
a list of credit card customers.
Compiled in hundreds of Wards retail stores
and AutoExpress locations, the customer and historical purchase patterns
can be a powerful tool for your retail, auto or
catalog direct mail, Internet and telemarketing needs.
Please contact xxxx
xxxxxx (xxxxxxx) for more information on how you can
open the marketing floodgates with Wards' customer lists
