Biographical History
Editor of the Saturday Evening Post.
Lorimer became editor-in-chief of the SATURDAY EVENING POST in 1899, and held offices in Curtis Publishing Company which published the POST. He lived in Wyncote, Pa. His work as an editor brought him into a long association with author Booth Tarkington.
Saturday Evening Post editor.
George Horace Lorimer was born in Kentucky, attended Yale briefly, but left to work for Philip D. Armour's meat packing company; a later business venture failed, and Lorimer went to Boston to try his hand at journalism, working for several newspapers. In 1898 he wrote Cyrus Curtis to ask for a job with the Saturday Evening Post; while Curtis went abroad to look for a permanent editor, Lorimer managed the Post, impressing Curtis and winning the job. He became managing editor of the Post in 1899, raising it from a circulation of under 2,000 to over one million within ten years. He retired from the Post in 1936; his leadership, innovations, and policies made it one of the most popular, successful, and influential magazines of its time.
