Argosy Weekly : ウィキペディア英語版
Argosy (magazine)

''Argosy'', later titled ''The Argosy'' and ''Argosy All-Story Weekly'', was an American pulp magazine from 1882 through 1978, published by Frank Munsey. It is the first American pulp magazine.〔http://www.pulpmags.org/history_page.html〕 The magazine began as a children's weekly story–paper entitled ''The Golden Argosy''.
==Launch of ''The Golden Argosy''==

In late September 1882, Frank Munsey had moved to New York City to start ''Argosy'', having arranged a partnership with a friend already in New York and working in the publishing industry, and with a stockbroker from Augusta, Maine, Munsey's previous home. Munsey put most of his money, around $500, into purchasing stories for the magazine.
Once he was in New York, the stockbroker backed out, and Munsey decided to release his New York friend from involvement, since they were now hopelessly underfunded. Munsey then pitched the magazine to a New York publisher, and managed to convince him to publish the magazine and hire Munsey as editor.
The first issue was published on December 2, 1882 (dated December 9, 1882,〔Ashley, Michael (2000). (''The History of the Science Fiction Magazine, Volume 1'' ), p. 21. Liverpool University Press.〕 a common practice at the time), and came out weekly. The first issue was eight pages, cost five cents,〔Sampson, Robert (1991). (''Yesterday's Faces, Volume 5: Dangerous Horizons'' ), pp. 10-11. Bowling Green State University Popular Press.〕 and included the first installments of serialized stories by Horatio Alger, Jr.,〔Schneirov, Matthew (1994). (''The Dream of a New Social Order: Popular Magazines in America, 1893–1914'' ), p. 117. Columbia University Press. Retrieved 6 May 2014.〕 and Edward S. Ellis.〔
Other authors associated with ''Argosy'' 's early days include Annie Ashmoore, W. H. W. Campbell, Harry Castlemon, Frank H. Converse, George H. Coomer, Mary A. Denison, Malcolm Douglas, Colonel A.B. Ellis, J. L. Harbour, D. O. S. Lowell, Oliver Optic, Richard H. Titherington, Edgar L. Warren and Matthew White, Jr. White would become the ''Argosy'' 's editor from 1886 to 1928.〔Eggeling, John. "Argosy, The" in ''The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction'', edited by John Clute and Peter Nicholls. London, Orbit,1994. ISBN 1-85723-124-4 (p.50).〕
Five months after the first issue, the publisher went bankrupt and entered receivership.〔Locke, John. "Lost at Sea: The Story of 'The Ocean'". In Locke, John, ed. (2008). (''The Ocean: 100th Anniversary Collection'' ), pp. 5-7. Off-Trail Publications.〕 By placing a claim for his unpaid salary, Munsey managed to assume control of the magazine. It was a very unlikely financial proposition; subscriptions had been sold that had to be fulfilled, but Munsey had almost no money and credit from printers and other suppliers was impossible to come by. Munsey borrowed $300 from a friend in Maine, and managed to scrape along as he learned the fundamentals of the publishing industry.
Munsey found that targeting children had been a mistake, as they did not stay subscribed for any length of time, since they grew out of reading the magazine. Additionally, children did not have much money to spend, which limited the number of advertisers interested in reaching them.
