Modelled on The Strand, it was originally planned as a US edition of
The Idler and initially reprinted much material from it. Cheaply priced, it became the
1890s trend-setter for American illustrated magazines (Munsey’s Magazine soon
copied it); known for its exposes and muckraking, it was also a major vehicle for popular
fiction. Authors included Conan Doyle, O. Henry, Jack London, Joel Chandler Harris,
W.A. White, etc. (from Philsp.com)
Plum contributed nine stories to McClure’s Magazine, between
1914-22.
