John Hardman and Co. of No. 1, Upper Camden Street have resigned the business of Artists, Sculptors, Church Painters and Metal Workers, in their favour. Earley and Powells have added to the above mentioned business the Painting and Staining of Windows for ecclesiastical and domestic buildings, under the management of Mr. Henry Powell, who conducted the Stained Glass Department of J.H. and Co., Birmingham for many years. Mr Thomas Earley is the only Church Decorator living who was taught his profession by the late A. Welby Pugin. E. and P. being thoroughly practical men in each Department, are enabled to supply real artistic work at a moderate cost. They, therefore respectfully solicit the patronage of the clergy and gentry of Ireland. Camden Street Works, Dublin.'
