The Strand, UK
The Strand Magazine was a monthly magazine composed of fictional stories and factual articles founded by George Newnes. It was first published in the United Kingdom from January 1891 to March 1950 running to 711 issues, though the first issue was on sale well before Christmas 1890. Its immediate popularity is evidenced by an initial sale of nearly 300,000. Sales increased in the early months, before settling down to a circulation of almost 500,000 copies a month which lasted well into the 1930s. It was edited by Herbert Greenhough Smith from 1891 to 1930. (from Wikipedia)
Wodehouse contributed quite a large number of stories to The Strand, starting as early
as 1905, and continuing into 1940 — over 200 items in all. For copyright reasons, the items on this site must stop with the December 1928 issue.
