On 2 Jun 1924 the Times became a daily paper in an effort to compete with the News-Leader. A year and a half later, on 21 Jan 1926 Amphlett purchased the News-Leader and consolidated it with the Times. In 1930 the San Mateo Times moved its offices to 145 Second Ave in San Mateo.
Amphlett passed away in 1933, but the newspaper was continued by Amphlett Publishing. In 1944 J Hart Clinton, husband of Helen Amphlett, took the helm. By 1957, the editorial staff had grown to 29.
In 1970 the San Mateo Times claimed a readership of over 81,000 and had offices in Burlingame and Redwood City as well as San Mateo. In 1996 the paper was sold to Ang Newspapers, a subsidiary of Media-News group, and renamed the San Mateo County Times. In 2016 the San Mateo County Times was merged into the San Jose Mercury News.
