by Mariela S. Trujillo - Universidad de Bahía Blanca and Ricardo Claudio Magnussen, his professor at the Buenos Aires English High School. During that meeting Haynes agreed to buy Magnussen an old Minerva printing machine so he had the idea of publishing a magazine intended for a family audience. His wish was fulfilled when he released ''El Consejero del Hogar'' (then simply ''El Hogar'') in 1904. Published fortnightly, the magazine was not well received at first so Haynes gave it a new direction with a focus on the upper class. As a result, ''El Hogar'' showed customs and habits of the most traditional families of Argentina, including their trips, weddings, parties, and social events. This change of direction caused the magazine to be a total success, becoming the most sold magazine in the country so many people recognised themselves in the topics featured on it. ''El Hogar'' was also the first imprint to feature colors on its covers.Revista El Hogar

Following the success of ''El Hogar'', Haynes released other imprints such as ''Mundo Argentino'', directed by Constancio C. Vigil before founding his own publishing brand, "Editorial Atlántida" with the release of ''El Gráfico (Argentina), El Gráfico'', ''Mundo Agrario'' (agriculture), ''Mundo Infantil'' (children), and ''Mundo Deportivo'' (sports).

Influence of Peronism
In 1947, the government administration led by Perón, in an attempt to control the media, bought some newspapers, as well as revoking concessions granted to several radio stations, some of which would be later given to private entrepreneurs with close ties with the officialism. In the case of Editorial Haynes, Well Smith accepted the offer from Grupo ALEA (led by Carlos Aloe, a government official), selling 51% of the family business. ''El Mundo'' and all the Hayes' imprints were taken over by the National Secretary of Communications. Under this new direction, the editorial line of Editorial Hayes' publications switched to direction with stronger ties with peronism. To support the ideological recruitment, Haynes released new publications such as ''Mundo Peronista'', also re-issuing ''P.B.T.'' (a magazine that had had a first run between 1904 and 1918, originally as a political satire magazine). Under Perón administration, ''P.B.T.'' (which second run started in January 1950) became a booklet of political propaganda used by peronism. Under the new management, Haynes expanded its portfolio with new magazines launched in 1949: ''Mundo Deportivo'', focused on sports (mainly association football, football), in a similar format that other sports magazines of that time such as ''El Gráfico (Argentina), El Gráfico'' or ''Goles''. Apart from national sports coverage, the magazine also included several articles related to "Torneos Evita", youth-oriented sports competitions promoted by the Eva Perón Foundation. The magazine was published until 1959. Also in 1949, Haynes released ''Mundo Infantil'', a children-oriented magazine with political content used by the Peronism as an attempt to ideologize them. The magazine was directed by Oscar Rubio, who also managed the sporting events "Torneos Evita". A total of 141 issues were published until June 1952. Some of its contents were illustrated tales, comic strips about historical personalities of Argentina. The magazine strongly focused on Peronism doctrine, with articles about the Eva Perón Foundation or the Torneos Evita, sports competitions for children. Another Haynes' achievement was the publication of the first STEM fields, science and technology magazine in Argentina, ''Mundo Atómico''. Released in 1950, the imprint featured covers illustrated in a modernism, modernist style, with a great amount of photographs and illustrations in its interior pages, also featuring some comic strips. When the coup d'etat of 1955 overthrew Juan Perón, ''El Mundo'' was managed by the dictatorship until it was sold to an entrepreneur consortium. The newspaper closed definitely in December 1967.Last years
