Hawthorne Bicycles
Hawthorne
was a brand of Montgomery Ward stores. Most Hawthorne bicycles were manufactured by the Cleveland Welding Company or H.P. Snyder (makers of Rollfast bicycles).
While Montgomery Ward did not actually manufacture the bicycles that they sold, they did commission some unique designs that were exclusive to their stores. One of t
he most desirable of these is the 1936-1939 Hawthorne Zep.  From 1940-1941, they sold the
American
a bike designed by famous industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague. They were so proud of this that they even used his name to advertise the bike.
