The American MagazineAlways open to popular fiction, it adopted an unusual policy in the 1930s: "To encourage new fiction writers and to discourage his staff from being blinded by famous names editor Sumner Blossom ordered mailroom clerks to mask the author's name on all unsolicited pieces of fiction. The staff learned the author's identity only after it had decided to accept or reject a manuscript" (Theodore Peterson, Magazines in the Twentieth Century). Authors included Ellis Parker Butler, Clarence Budington Kelland, Edison Marshall, S.S. Van Dine, Zane Grey, Dashiell Hammett, Rex Stout, Leslie Charteris and Graham Greene ("The Third Man," Mar. 1949). (revamping and retitling of Leslie's Magazine - see separate entry) Issues & Index Sources

The American MercuryArguably a new version of The Smart Set at the start (which had been produced by the same pair of editors before being sold to Hearst). Authors included Sinclair Lewis, James Stevens, William Faulkner and Ray Bradbury (his "breakout" story from the pulps, "The Big Black and White Game," Aug-1945). Circulation peaked at 77,000 in 1927 and again at 84,000 in 1945. From 1952 onwards it became a right-wing specialist journal unrelated to the original other than by name. Issues & Index Sources
