During its Jazz Age heyday under the editorship of H. L. Mencken and George Jean Nathan, ''The Smart Set'' offered many up-and-coming authors their start and gave them access to a relatively large audience. Following a dispute over an unprinted article by Mencken and Nathan mocking the national grief over President Warren G. Harding's death, the two co-editors departed the publication to create ''The American Mercury'' in 1924. Within a year of their departure, owner Eltinge Warner sold the publication to press mogul William Randolph Hearst. Although circulation increased under Hearst's ownership, the magazine's content declined in quality. Following the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the magazine was unable to survive the economic slump and ceased publication in June 1930. Half a decade after its dissolution, ...
