These three schools were to absorb most of Hamilton's efforts over the next three decades and constitute the work for which he is best remembered. In the early days of this period, the St Jim's stories were more involved and more popular. The Greyfriars stories however, evolved gradually over the early years of "The Magnet", eventually becoming Hamilton's main priority. His 'golden period' is generally regarded as c.1925-c.1935. In all he provided stories for 82% of the issues of "The Magnet" compared with two-thirds of the issues of "The Gem". If a Hamilton story was not available, the story was provided by another author but still using the Clifford or Richards name .
