Arthur Barnett Ltd
editMatthew and Arthur Barnett were brothers (I have yet to work that into the article), with Matthew helping to finance his brother's department store and later becoming chairman. So maybe somebody Dunedinite would like to start writing an article for Arthur Barnett at this point. I see that there are two histories available: "Arthur Barnett—Retailer Extraordinary" published in 1959, and the centenary history "One Hundred Years of Loyalty—The Story of Arthur Barnett Ltd 1903"; maybe somebody has one of these on their bookshelf, or could get it out of a library.

- Unfortunately I have little time to spare on building another article, much as it is of local interest. Thanks for the offer. ◆Min✪rhist✪rian◆MTalk 21:23, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
