Sir,

Just a correction to Bill Hayden’s article on the Labor "Splits".

Page 13, par 2 speaks of "Harold Scarf’s retailing empire". The correct name is Harris Scarfe Ltd, one of the oldest Adelaide retail businesses which is presently doing its best to stay afloat.

Its history is fascinating - its early (or earlier) days were wonderful, with the most loyal of staff.
