Montgomery Ward 50th Anniversary Leather-Bound Book – Presented to Governor Ned Ray McWherter by CEO Bernard F. Brunman A special presentation piece from the personal estate of Tennessee Governor Ned Ray McWherter! This leather-bound Montgomery Ward 50th Anniversary book was presented to Governor Ned Ray McWherter as a personal gift from Bernard F. Brunman, CEO of Montgomery Ward, in recognition of the company's 50th Anniversary. The piece retains the Governor's identification/property sticker, further documenting its connection to McWherter and his personal collection.
