150 YEAR TRADING PEDIGREE
| The company which is now Eason & Son, was founded in 1819 as J.K. Johanson & Co, as a newspaper and advertising agency based on Eden Quay in Dublin. In 1850, it was taken over by English-based WH Smith, however in 1856, Smith appointed Charles Eason as his manager in Dublin. Born in 1823 in Yeovil, Charles Eason had served as an apprentice printer in Colchester before running Smith's bookstall at Victoria Station in Manchester. Eason's arrival in Ireland to run Smith's Irish operation coincided with massive expansion of bookselling and newspaper industry in Ireland due to the growth of railways and growing literacy rate. Eason opened its first branch in Belfast 1868, and his son, John, joined him in 1901.
Eason & Son has been trading for 150 years and has in excess of 2,800 employees with offices in Ireland, the United Kingdom and South Africa.
