The magazine was owned by Esquire and published by David A. Smart from 1936 to 1961.[2]

Typical issue

Each issue had a wide variety of articles and features, as well as a condensed book section. Poetry was featured, along with gift advice and star stories. The sister company Coronet Films was promoted in most issues as well. Articles on culture and the arts were mixed with adventure stories and social advice.
