NEW YORK — The Simmons-Boardman Publishing Corp., publishers of seven trade magazines, acquired the assets of Davison Publishing Co. this week in a merger of two of the country’s oldest business publishers. Financial details were not disclosed.

“This transaction brings together two of the nation’s oldest business publishers, each with roots that go back to the 19th Century,” says Arthur J. McGinnis, Jr., chairman, president and CEO of Simmons-Boardman. The New York City-based Simmons-Boardman’s oldest magazine is its 150-year-old Railway Age, founded in 1856.
