Never heard of Detrola badged sets being sold by Western Auto. WA's house brand was always Truetone. I've had a number of Truetone radios and they were always listed under Western Auto in Riders perpetual troubleshooters...IIRC Truetone radios always had a reference to Western Auto in the internal labels.
IIRC Detrola built some store brand sets so it's possible some Truetone radios were Detrola built.
From what I've read Detrola never built TVs. There were a couple of Wilcox/Majestic sets that got rebadged Detrola but never a Detrola built TV.
And I second that Montgomery Wards house brand was Airline....I've owned Airline radios and TVs.
