Where did the MW come into you minds picture if it was badged Monark?
 
He said it was MonarCH on the headtube, which turns out to be a Westfield brand. I realize that makes no sense for Wards.
 
I was in the USA - Chicago - at the time, 1951, approx. Sure it came from Wards. Unsure of "Monark" or "Monarch". I could have "corrected" the spelling in my mind, over the years. I may never get closer than what you fine gentlemen have helped determined. And I do very much appreciate your expertise!
 
Doesn’t matter how you spell Monark if your bike came from Montgomery Wards it was a “ Hawthorne “, the only badge they sold as far as I know but Chicago is a long way from me, and I’ve learned in bikes ( and life ) never say never. Good luck in your quest.
