In 1938, Saalfield Publishing reissued certain titles. There was an attempt to portray Webster as areal person. It has been found a noteworthy discovery in Mr. Frank V. Webster, who is under contract to write solely for us, according to a 1911 advertisement.

These are stories for good, smart lads." Howard R. Garis wrote a lot of the books. George Rathbone, J. W. Lincoln, and Weldon J. Cobb were other authors. Contrary to many other pen names, "Frank V. Webster" was presented as a real person on purpose. The Alger connection was made in a 1911 book trade advertisement for Cupples & Leon, most likely written by Edward Stratemeyer.
