In context

We hold 26 other publishing house companies founded in the 1860s. 9 of them have closed, after a median of 65 years, and 17 have no closure recorded.

Counted across this directory, from founding and closing years in public records. Medians cover only companies whose closure is recorded; a company with no closure date may have quietly ceased without the record catching it.
