Curtis-Martin published the Inquirer along with their Public Ledger and Evening Ledger for four years, but the Philadelphia newspaper seas were heavy. Last spring Publisher Martin, who had already cut loose one of his stepfather-in-law's newspapers (New York Evening Post), tried to trim his load further by merging the Inquirer and Public Ledger (TIME, April 16). Last week he abandoned ship. The Inquirer, combined with what is left of the Public Ledger, will be taken in tow again by the Elversons as salvage for the notes which profits evidently...

...John Charles Martin, son-in-law of the late Cyrus H. K. Curtis, sold his losing New York Evening Post* to J. David Stern, publisher of the virile Philadelphia Record. Three weeks ago there was a report in Philadelphia that Curtis heirs planned to dispose of the morning Public Ledger, now losing heavily (TIME, March 26). This week that news was confirmed when the Public Ledger announced that its morning and Sunday editions would be merged at once with the Curtis-Martin Philadelphia morning Inquirer (circulation: 210,795). The Evening Ledger will continue unchanged...
