The newspaper was founded by a printer and a reporter in 1884 as The St. Louis Sunday Sayings. As The Evening Star-Sayings, the newspaper emerged as a competitor to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The newspaper became the St. Louis Star in 1896, and the Star-Chronicle in 1905. It returned to the St. Louis Star in 1908; the New St. Louis Star in 1913; and then back to the St. Louis Star in 1914. [1]
In June 1932 The Star purchased The American Press, publisher of The Times, to create The St. Louis Star and Times. [2] The Times was Republican, while The Star considered itself nonpartisan. Circulation of The Times exceeded 100,000 from 1916 to 1918. From 1918 circulation of The Star surpassed The Times. [2]
On June 15, 1951, the newspaper printed its last edition following its sale to Pulitzer Publishing Co., publisher of the Post-Dispatch. The newspaper had mounted steady losses, which publisher Elzey Roberts attributed to "ever-mounting labor and material costs." [3]
