Yep, Sears and Wards sold all kinds of stuff in competition with each other, and I don't think they made any of it themselves- but had their brand name put on the merchandise others manufactured for them. Sears tires were Allstate, Wards were Riverside; Sears appliances were Kenmore, Wards (I think) were Signature. Sears .22 rifles were J. C. Higgins (who was he, anyhow? Think I'll google it), Wards were Hawthorne. I've got a Hawthorne .22- its actually a Mossberg, but it took a bit of research to figure that out.
Sears even rebadged Henry J automobiles they got from Kaiser in the early '50's with the Allstate name.
The Wards brand names are less remembered, of course, because Wards has been out of business for a number of years, and Sears is still around.
