    Everybody’s Story Magazine    (about)
    Story Magazine [“Vol. 1”; standard-size pulp in green cloth binding] (title and volume number are given on the spine only [but internal evidence of story-series numbering suggests “Vol. 1” is incorrect]; there is no indication inside as to publisher or dates; no masthead, no contents page, no issue covers, no editorial articles, no illustrations, no adverts; the layout is two-column throughout, and the print quite large; there are 768 pages, so if it was a monthly [as seems highly likely], and if this represents six months’ worth of the magazine, each issue would be 128pp). Further research suggests actual title is Everybody’s Story Magazine. Details supplied by David Pringle.

    Everybody’s Weekly
    Everybody’s was a general weekly magazine that began life in 1913 as The Competitor’s Journal. Everybody’s Weekly was incorporated into the title in 1925 and dominated from 1927; the Competitor’s Weekly element of the title was dropped in 1928. As Everybody’s (although it remained weekly), it ran until 25 April 1959.

    Everybody’s Weekly [#1, March 11, 1911] (London: Amalgamated Press, 1d, 44pp, 8½" x 11½")
    From a bound volume (in poor shape) at the University of Minnesota. (Minnesota and U of Texas seem to be the only US libraries holding this title, though given the confusion with the later UK title of similar name it’s hard to be sure.) For the first issue I’m listing all substantial items; thereafter fiction only (with perhaps some exceptions). Much of the issue is filled with ads, mostly for downmarket products.
