''The All-Story Magazine'' was another Munsey pulp. Debuting in January 1905 (the word "Magazine" was dropped from the title in 1908), this pulp was published monthly until March 1914. Effective March 7, 1914, it changed to a weekly schedule and the title ''All-Story Weekly''. In May 1914, ''All-Story Weekly'' was merged with another story pulp, ''The Cavalier'', and used the title ''All-Story Cavalier Weekly'' for one year. Editors of ''All-Story'' included Newell Metcalf and Robert H.
