Western Story Magazine, March 12, 1927

Magazine Contents This 1927 Street & Smith publication features "Lightning Lumberjacks" by John Frederick as its lead serial, following two remarkably powerful lumberjacks—the towering blond "Soapy" Almayer and the squat, muscular Jimmy Clarges—who arrive at a lumber camp seeking work. Despite lacking timber experience, their extraordinary strength and tireless productivity make them valuable to the operation. The narrative establishes their reputation as men of comparable strength who finally found each other, describing their prodigious appetites, formidable work output, and easy dominance over a troublemaking drunken laborer. Two additional serials appear: Part Three of "Silvertip's Cub" by Frank Richardson Pierce and Part Five of "Smiling Charlie" by Max Brand. Four short stories include works by Harley P. Lathrop, Ray Humphreys, Reginald C. Barker, and Edward T. Glynn. Supporting features include an article on Pioneer Towns of the West and a western poetry offering.
