Robert J. Collier won a lawsuit against [[Post Consumer Brands|Postum Cereal Company]] and was awarded $50,000 in damages, but in 1912 an appeals court then handed down a majority decision that Postum deserved a new trial.<ref name=":2">{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1912/02/17/archives/new-trial-for-postum-co-colliers-suit-to-be-reheard-minority.html|title=NEW TRIAL FOR POSTUM CO.; Collier's Suit to be Reheard -- Minority Opinion for $50,000 Verdict.|date=February 17, 1912|work=The New York Times|access-date=June 9, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> The Postum Company believed that Collier's weekly used magazine coverage to attack their company's products in retaliation for not advertising in Collier's after Collier's wrote against a [[Grape-Nuts]]'s claim that it was an "A Food for Brain and Nerves." Postum then bought advertising pages in major newspapers in retaliation.<ref name=":2" />

The magazine was sold in 1919 to the Crowell Publishing Company, which in 1939 was renamed as [[Crowell Collier Publishing Company|Crowell-Collier Publishing Company]].

In 1924, Crowell moved the printing operations from [[New York City]] to [[Springfield, Ohio|Springfield]], Ohio, but kept the editorial and business departments in New York City. Reasons given for moving print operations included conditions imposed by unions in the printing trade, expansion of the Gansevoort Market into the property occupied by the Collier plant, and "excessive postage involved in mailing from a seaboard city under wartime postal rates.<ref name=":0">{{cite news|url=http://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1924/05/27/119039162.html?pageNumber=5|title=Collier's Plant to Move to Ohio; Publication Follows Others That Have Left New York Because of Union Conditions|work=The New York Times |access-date=April 17, 2016}}</ref> After 1924, printing of the magazine was done at the Crowell-Collier printing plant on West High Street in [[Springfield, Ohio|Springfield]], Ohio.<ref name=":0" /> The factory complex, much of which is no longer standing (finally razed in 2020),<ref>[http://www.springfieldnewssun.com/news/local-govt--politics/crowell-collier-demolition-springfield-completed-next-month/8S4EJIvF3azjsZSCWGYSOL/f]{{dead link|date=February 2018}}</ref> was built between 1899 and 1946, and incorporated seven buildings that together had more than {{convert|846000|sqft|m2}}—{{convert|20|acre|m2}}—of floor space.
