Comment: Not clear what this family business is notable for besides being a significant timber merchant in the early days of Australia. Some text is obtuse not least the failure of the company in 1894 because of the great depression which didn't itself start till 1920. Either very prescient or wrong. It is possible that this article could be notable but it does need working up with some better sources. Velella Velella Talk 22:02, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

The company Hart & Sons was founded by Mr William Hart (Senior) in 1887.[1] The business closed in the depression of 1894 and reopened as Hart, Hitchcock and Co.[1]
The business is of significance to the history and development of Australia, especially in the Western Sydney and Parramatta region.[2] Many local and historic buildings that are still standing today were built from the timbers supplied facilitating the growth and progress of the Sydney Parramatta region.[3] The majority of all building materials for construction of roads at the time was supplied through this business.[4]
The business is famous for supplying the Australian timbers and craftsmanship of the first cross-country flight recorded in NSW, significant in Australian aviation history in 1911 by the grandson of the Hart & Sons founder, aviator William Ewart Hart.[5] The business was a source of funds for the late William Ewart Hart, to source parts, materials and engineering for the plane construction, a famous Australian pioneer aviator who later used his aviation skills in World War I[5].
