It is immediately obvious that SEVENTEEN subscribers are devoted to the magazine. The fact that almost three-fourths of the subscribers chose it as their favorite magazine in a spontaneous selection testifies to its popularity. It should be repeated here that none of the respondents was aware that the publication was in any way involved when they stated their choice to interviewers. However, it should be remembered that SEVENTEEN is probably the only magazine the vast majority get in their own names, and many girls do not see a number of the other magazines regularly.

In the breakdown by ages, the preference for SEVENTEEN decreases as age increases - about 85% of the 13- to 14-year-olds prefer it, whereas the figure drops to 66% for those from 17 to 18. SEVENTEEN seems to be slightly more popular among girls living in cities of over 100,000 than in smaller places.
