The American News Company was founded by Sinclair Tousey in 1864. It became a major distributor of postcards, magazines, newspapers, books, and comic books through a national network of more than 300 affiliated news agencies.
They mostly covered New York and the mid-Atlantic region. Nearly all of their output was in view-cards. Most of their cards were printed in Leipzig, Dresden and Berlin, Germany. After the start of the first world war, they, like many publishers, switched to American and French printers.
