McClelland Barclay cover for
This Week
(September 24, 1939)
When it went out of business in 1969 it was the oldest syndicated newspaper supplement in the United States
Magazine historian Phil Stephensen-Payne noted, "It grew from a circulation of four million in 1935 to nearly 12 million in 1957, far outstripping other fiction-carrying weeklies such as
Collier's, Liberty
and even The Saturday Evening Post (all of which eventually folded)
William I. Nichols became editor of the magazine in June 1943, just before the death of Meloney the same month, and a year later the magazine started to turn a profit. In 1948,
This Week
surpassed the
American Weekly
as the top American newspaper supplement in terms of advertising revenue. Nichols turned the financial fortunes of
This Week
around by "shunning anything controversial": "I'm neither pious nor preachy, but my first principle is success and [decency] has paid off in success. You can bore a mass audience to death with acres of flesh. Why did Burlesque die?. By 1963,
This Week
reached its peak in circulation.
Wonderful birthday gift with topical news from home  and abroad including numerous photographs, stories, fashion and adverts.
