Looking through Google books (1900 - 1940) for Montgomery Wards Catalog
lakeside gives a couple of snippet views of things with Lakeside

1904 Farm Journal - Lakeside Stoves
Practical Bungalows c1906 ( a Wards publication?) - Fine Mechanics tools
Lakeside L112 Saw
Hardware Age 1930 - talks about a "The following testimonial is from Ward's
*catalog* regarding the *Lakeside* Deluxe 26-in. saw, priced at $3.20"
Consumer Digest 1937 Lakeside Model 5555 by wards, doesn't say what in
snippet view.
1940- stove parts again

Some places sell a 1890's vintage Wards Catalog reprint

Here is an 1917 advert for sale on ebay (its only a buy it now, so I feel
its OK to post, apologies if not) with both Lakeside and Disston saws.
Can't read the fine print, but says its a M Wards ad.

lots of silverplate with Lakeside Montgomery Wards name on it.

Here is a claim of Stanley for Lakeside on a ratchet brace, maybe someone
can type it to put a year on them, about 1910.

Tried to find "MW bought Lakeside", no luck yet.  Maybe later.

Kirk in Half Moon Bay, CA for a change
