[[Image:Metal monster sharp.jpg|right|thumb|200px|''Argosy All-Story Weekly'' cover for the story "[[The Metal Monster]]" by [[A. Merritt]] (August 7, 1920)]]
In 1920, ''All-Story Weekly'' was merged into ''The Argosy'', resulting in a new title, ''Argosy All-Story Weekly'', which published works in a number of [[genre fiction|literary genres]], including [[science fiction]] and [[Westerns]]. [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] published some of his [[Tarzan]] and [[John Carter of Mars]] stories in the magazine; other science fiction writers included [[Ralph Milne Farley]], [[Ray Cummings]], [[Otis Adelbert Kline]] and [[A. Merritt]].<ref name="je" />
In 1922 ''Argosy'' missed a chance to launch the career of [[E. E. Smith]]. Bob Davis, then editor of ''Argosy'', rejected the manuscript of ''[[The Skylark of Space]]'', writing to Smith that he liked the novel personally, but that it was "too far out" for his readers.<ref>Sanders p. 9, Moskowitz p. 15.</ref> This "encouraging rejection letter" did encourage Smith to try further, finally getting his novel published in ''[[Amazing Stories]]''.
