In a recent post I listed nine American newspapers that used the Canadian Star Weekly novel insert each Saturday or Sunday in the forties and fifties. Here is one that at least for a couple of years published its own novels.
The Bangor Daily News published their own novel inserts in at least 1939 and 1940 then started using the Star Weekly versions from 1941 to 1949.
Here are three of the early novels.
June 3, 1939 - Blind Man's Year by Warwick Deeping (Cassell, 1937)
October 21, 1939 - The Dark Wing by Arthur Stringer (Bobbs-Merrill, 1939)
January 27, 1940 - The Dragon's Teeth by Ellery Queen (Frederick A. Stokes, 1939)
The Bangor Daily News - October 21, 1939
The Bangor Daily News - January 27, 1940
The Bangor Daily News - June 3, 1939
