Montgomery Ward, when they introduced their own thus-named label,
seems to have been given access to ALL previous Victor r4ecordings!
Many of these were "standards," and some were still being sold on
Victor!

Like most mail-order chains, Wards assumed its customers had only
old acoustic players...so old acoustic recordings were considered
saleable!!
