Love Story MagazineAuthor and longtime Street & Smith editor Daisy Bacon made Love Story Magazine one of the most successful of all pulps, but she was incorrect in one respect when she evaluated the long-running magazine. In her how-to book Love Story Writer (Hermitage 1955), Bacon writes: 'During the many years that Love Story enjoyed its large circulation and weekly status it was never successfully imitated, as any circulation man can tell you'Bacon's statement is certainly true with regard to sheer volume. Love Story was published weekly for more than 20 years, starting September 1922, the only such long-running weekly romance pulp. The Adventure House Guide to the Pulps lists the magazine's overall run as 1,158 issues, published from August 1921 through February 1947, and that's no surprise - only Street & Smith had the financial wherewithal to publish a romance pulp on a weekly basis, not to mention weekly western and detective pulps as well.Even so, many romance pulps were published in the four decades between 1921 and 1960. There were more than 7,000 issues and dozens and dozens of titles.

In 1960, Columbia's now-ironically titled Gay Love Stories closed out the genre, leaving only publisher Ned Pines's hybrid, which struggled through 1971 as the last of the original pulps (unless you count long-since converted digest science fiction magazines). In other words, Bacon's ground-breaking romance title certainly faced heavy competition on the newsstands of the 1930s and 1940s.
