Talman’s Texaco Star<\/em> trade magazine is online<\/a> in a full 1913-1963 run, in archival scans at the University of Houston, Texas. This was the official free internal monthly magazine of the Texaco oil company, which he edited from 1930. The run appears to have been placed online in March 2021.<\/p>\n

Sadly it can’t be searched across in full-text from a single search-box, and there are no TOCs alongside each issue. But scholars know that it was, under Talman’s editorship, home to some items linked with Weird Tales<\/em> contributors.
