Smith's Magazine was a Street & Smith magazine published monthly from April 1905 to February 1922. [1]
Created for the "John Smiths" of the world, Theodore Dreiser was its initial editor; after a year, he moved to Broadway Magazine . [2] By the time Dreiser departed, the magazine had a circulation of 125,000. [3]
Charles A. MacLean became editor of Smith's as well as another, more successful Street & Smith magazine, The Popular Magazine , for many years. [4] [5] [6]
Originally a story magazine directed at the general public, it later focused on a female audience. When the magazine ended its run, Street & Smith merged it and its mainly female readership into the newer, eventually even more successful Love Story Magazine .
Smith's was the first magazine to publish author Ben Ames Williams, in July 1915. [7]
