Historical Note:
Brothers Abraham L. and Edward I. Goodkind, and Meyer and Charles Wise operated a wholesale wine, liquor, and cigar business in Helena, Montana, from 1890 or 1891 until 1896 when the Wise brothers left the business. The Goodkind brothers continued their operation until Edward died on May 11, 1916. Abraham continued the operation with Edward's widow, Margaret L., until 1918. Abraham and Margaret then went into the loan business until 1922, when Margaret moved to Los Angeles. Subsequently, Arthur Ward joined Goodkind in the loans and securities business. Goodkind moved to Chicago in the 1930s. His business changed to the rental of, primarily, commercial property. The company's name was Goodkind Estate for at least the years 1950 to 1953, and Goodkind Associates from 1954 to at least 1969. Arthur Ward acted as Goodkind's agent in Helena until 1958. Goodkind Associates rented property in Helena, Billings, Butte, Forsyth, Helena, Miles City, and other towns in Montana.
