was
publishing
a
number
of
magazines
and was
incorporated

.
Peter

,
beginning
with

. They
printed
four
nationally
known
magazines
:
Collier's
,
Woman's
Home

Though
having
begun
1877
in a
tiny
one-room

with a
simple
hand
press
and
evolving
into a
massive
factory
complex
incorporating
7
buildings
,
including
an
8-story
plant
covering
an
entire
city
block
, the
company
began
going
downhill
. The
plant
began
dissolving
in
1956
and the
Springfield
plant
was
sold
in
1957
.
Crowell-Collier

and in
1965

Collier
&
MacMillian
began
being

titled
was
eventually
