Who made the 22 LR ammo for Montgomery Wards?

Seems like a strange question, but here is my problem...

I had a brick of 22 LR rimfire ammo that I bought from Montgomery Wards back in the early 1980s. It was their private label brand, but obviously made by some other ammo manufacturer.

Well it just so happens that I have an Erma Excam 22 LR pistol (looks like a Walther PPK) that seems to prefer the Montgomery Ward branded ammo. I've tried other brands through this little pistol and I get failures too many failures to feed. But the Montgomery Ward stuff never gives me a problem.

Any idea who might have manufactured it for Wards? I would guess someone like Aguila, but not sure.

    I know the Montgomery Ward ammo you speak of, if it's the same stuff I used to shoot. Black box with white lettering, and a red ringed bullseye. I probably shot 10 thousand rounds of the stuff. I can remember being told it was made by Eley, which is probably why it shot so well.

    Contact Wards and ask them they should know.*
