Publishing
Simons was active in publishing, producing an annual Australian Junior from 1906 to 1911 as well as the monthly Boomerang, edited from 1914 by himself as an extension to YAL activities. In 1918 he established the Call, a sports focussed weekly newspaper with Victor Courtney, and in 1926 he published Reflections, a collection of his own beliefs and experiences.
In 1935, a syndicate led by Simons and including Courtney and mining entrepreneur Claude de Bernales purchased Western Press Limited, the publishers of The Sunday Times for £55,000. Simons was managing director until his death in 1948.

Famous quotes containing the word publishing:
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
