Teague’s first two illustrations for Crowell-Collier ran in The American Magazine, not Collier’s.  A monthly, The American had higher production values than Collier’s.  Over his career, Teague illustrated 56 stories for The American, third to The Saturday Evening Post (195) and Collier’s (162).  I find it interesting to compare Teague’s work for The American to his work for Collier’s during this period.  Below is a representative sample of Teague’s work for The American during the period 1930-33.  Story text has been omitted for a cleaner appearance.  I imagine Captain Grim held particular significance for Teague, as the story was co-illustrated with Teague’s mentor Norman Wilkinson.
