Munsey’s Magazine: “Munsey\'swas an American pulp fiction magazinefounded by Frank Munsey, and published by his firm in the late 19th and early20th centuries. Munsey\'sbegan in 1889 as Munsey\'s Weekly.It moved to monthly publication as Munsey\'s Magazine in 1891. Frank Munsey’s intention was to create\"a magazine of the people and for the people, with pictures and art and goodcheer and human interest throughout\". After a few months the magazine was selling40,000 copies a week. In October 1893 Munsey took the decision to reduce theprice of the magazine to ten cents. Thiswas a great success, and by 1895 The Munsey\'s Weekly had a circulationof 500,000 a month. The magazineincluded numerous illustrations, and when it began printing pictures of worksof art it was attacked for its \"half-dressed women and undressedstatuary\". As a result, some shopsrefused to stock the magazine. However, circulation continued to grow, and by1897 had reached 700,000. After 1906 circulation of themagazine began to fall, and by the 1920s it was down to 60,000. Circulation continued to decline, and inOctober 1929 the magazine was merged with Argosy All-Story to form All-StoryCombined.” (spartacus-educational.com; onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu)
