Haunted Wooden Postcards

Back in the 1960's there was a small family owned business at 111 S. 21st Avenue in Hollywood Florida. They made these particular wooden postcards shown in the pictures. They made other similar products, mostly items shops at the beach would pedal to the tourists. These are probably form the early 1970's, but the same ones were made in the 1960's as well. Today the addresses have shifted slightly, but if you know where to look you will find that this former location is now empty land wedged between the tracks and 21st Ave. The story is that the owner of the business, a Mr. Arnold Goodwin began to feel the pressures of his then failing business around 1972 and committed suicide in storeroom of the shop. His body was found on the following Monday by family members. A few days later the son of Mr. Goodwin shipped out the last remaining inventory of wooden postcards to their vendors. After this the doors were closed for good and the building razed a few months later. The property was subsequently sold to the city. When the news of Mr. Goodwin's death made it back to their vendors, they quickly starting associating odd events and happenings in their shops with the shipment of wooden postcards that were present in the stock room when Mr. Goodwin took his own life. Could the post cards have really been cursed? Was the ghost of Mr. Goodwin following up with his vendors, trying to get a re-order from the beyond? I guess only he really knows for sure. Haunted postcards or not...these are keepers!
