The Manhattan Mercury Fay N. Seaton in 1915. He was the founder of the Seaton publishing group, which still owns the paper. Fay Seaton ran the paper until his death in 1952.

In 1926, Seaton purchased the "Manhattan Nationalist" – the oldest newspaper in Manhattan, dating back to 1859 – and began operating under both names (until 1943). Fay Seaton's son Fred Andrew Seaton
