The St. Louis Star-Times was a newspaper published in St. Louis, Missouri. Founded as The St. Louis Sunday Sayings in 1884, it operated independently until 1951, when it was purchased by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch .
The newspaper was founded by a printer and a reporter in 1884 as The St. Louis Sunday Sayings. Renamed The Evening Star-Sayings, it emerged as a competitor to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which had been founded by the merger of two newspapers in 1878.
The newspaper became the St. Louis Star in 1896, and the Star-Chronicle in 1905. It returned to the name St. Louis Star in 1908; the New St. Louis Star in 1913; and then back to the St. Louis Star in 1914. [1] In 1918, The Star's circulation eclipsed that of local rival The Times [2] , which had exceeded 100,000 from 1916 to 1918. [3]
In June 1932, The Star purchased The American Press, publisher of The Times, to create The St. Louis Star and Times. [3] The Times was Republican, while The Star considered itself nonpartisan.
After several money-losing years that publisher Elzey Roberts attributed to "ever-mounting labor and material costs" [4] , the Star was sold in 1951 to Pulitzer Publishing Co., publisher of the Post-Dispatch. The Star published its final edition on June 15, 1951.
