(Montgomery Ward was located across the street from the current Pocomoke City Hall Municipal Building which was under construction in 1936/1937.)

How old am I? I easily remember George Henderson, Jr., Mary Lee Moore (Leister) and when Walters Implement Company had new tractors delivered by rail car down by Railroad Avenue. My first pair of real work boots came from the Montgomery Ward store, sold by Bobby Judd for the magnificent sum of $10.

Your friend,

tk for PPE says:  Mary Lee Moore was my second-grade teacher. That is, it was Miss Moore at the start of the school year and Mrs. (Klein) Leister later during that school year.  She dressed in her wedding gown to show us.  Bobby Judd was in my sister's graduating class of 1954.  His younger sister Peggy was in my class.  Could you have bought those work boots at the adjacent JC Penney at the corner of Clarke and Market?  I remember Bobby working there.

Good catch! Bobby did work at JC Penny, the place with all the pneumatic tubes. I was fascinated with the "latest" technology.
