Donohue Brothers, Chicago
(1900-1901)

The Donohue Brothers publishing firm succeeded Donohue, Henneberry & Co. in 1900. Michael A. Donohue petitioned a local circuit court to legally help dissolve the partnership between him and William Henneberry. Apparently the partners had been unable to come to an amicable dissolution of their partnership. Donohue started up a new firm with his sons, Donohue Brothers, in April, 1900. Soon after its founding the Donohue Brothers purchased the plates of the W. L. Allison Company, a prominent New York book publisher. By 1901 Donohue had purchased Henneberry's share, combined it with the Donohue Brothers and continued the business under the M. A. Donohue and Co. moniker. Associated with Donohue were his sons- Michael A. Donohue Jr., J. W. Donohue, W. F. Donohue, and E. T. Donohue. Henneberry continued in the book publishing business as the Henneberry Company.

During its short life Donohue Brothers published mainly series that had previously been published by Donohue, Henneberry & Co. as well as W. L. Allison Company.
