Company

A company is an association or collection of individuals, whether natural persons, legal persons, or a mixture of both. Company members share a common purpose and unite in order to focus their various talents and organize their collectively available skills or resources to achieve specific, declared goals. Companies take various forms such as:

A company or association of persons can be created at law as legal person so that the company in itself can accept Limited liability for civil responsibility and taxation incurred as members perform (or fail) to discharge their duty within the publicly declared "birth certificate" or published policy.

Because companies are legal persons, they also may associate and register themselves as companies – often known as a corporate group. When the company closes it may need a "death certificate" to avoid further legal obligations.

Earley and Company

Earley and Company (1861–1975) were ecclesiastical furnishings and stained glass manufacturers and retailers, based in Camden Street, Dublin, Ireland. In the 19th century they also had an outlet at 51 Lower Clanbrassil Street. The firm was one of the largest and most prestigious ecclesiastical decorators both in Ireland and the U.K. They provided a high standard of ecclesiastical art during the Gothic revival of the 1800s and the building of Catholic Churches which flourished in the first half of the 20th century.

The firm was founded by John Earley and his brother, sculptor Thomas Earley, who were born in Bermingham of Irish parents (probably from Drumshambo, Country Leitrim). Thomas Earley was an apprentice at Hardman & Co. under Pugin. In 1851 Thomas Earley was responsible for setting up Hardman's exhibit of stained glass and metalwork at the Great Exhibition. He set up a similar exhibit at the International Dublin Exhibition of 1853. By November of 1853, a shop was being prepared at 48 Grafton Street in Dublin for Hardman's ecclesiastic products.
