History
History
Frederick R. Rinehart formed a publishing house, Farrar & Rinehart, in partnership with John C. Farrar and Stanley M. Rinehart, Jr., his late brother. In 1946, after Mr. Farrar's departure for the new house of Farrar & Straus, the firm became Rinehart & Company. Rinehart & Company was the successor to Farrar & Rinehart, Inc. The latter was renamed Rinehart & Company in 1946 following the departure of John C. Farrar. The brothers Stanley M. Rinehart, Jr. and Frederick R. Rinehart continued to operate the company until its merger with Henry Holt and Company and the John C. Winston Company in 1960, to form Holt, Rinehart and Winston (HRW). The Rinehart brothers were the sons of Mary Roberts Rinehart, a famous mystery writer whose books were published by the company. Rinehart had supported her sons by leaving Doubleday, Doran when they (with Farrar) established Farrar & Rinehart in 1929; her bestselling mysteries were a mainstay of the new imprint.
