From Gloria Stavers Permalink
I want to assure each and every one of you who have ever written a letter to me, at 16 Magazine, that every single letter is read and that careful consideration is given to everything you write. I’m sure you understand that there isn’t enough space in my magazine for me to publish every letter and that there simply isn’t enough time for me to answer every letter personally. But please know that I’m deeply grateful to you for writing me and that I appreciate every suggestion and criticism you address to me. Write to me as follows; Miss Gloria Stavers, 16 Magazine, 745 Fifth Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022

Dear Carlo,
If you can’t find one in your local department, dime or variety store, ask the owner to write to Pembroke Mfg. Co., 350 Fifth Ave., New York City, and order a supply for you and your gang.

More Monkee joy! Permalink
Miss Stavers,
My mother brought in the mail the other day and I saw something for me from 16 Magazine lying on top! It was my Monkee Private Picture Book—and it is sensational! I got so hung up on it that I burnt my lunch, but I didn’t care cos when I finished my Monkee book I felt as though I really knew Mike, Micky, Peter and Davy!

Dear Debbie,
You’re a dear for digging it and for thanking me. Any other of you 16-ers who want to get hung up MONKEE-wise, turn to Page 11.

Dear Miss Stavers,
I lost the address of PETER ASHER’s London book shop where you can order CHARLIE WATTS’ and JOHN LENNON’s books—not to mention quite a few other nice English goodies. Could you please print that address again?

Hates Mark’s hair! Permalink
Dear Miss Stavers,
I like long hair on boys, but when it comes to wearing a pony-tail with a bow ribbon on it—well, that’s horrible! My parents saw MARK’S picture and they say he’s going too far. I think he is handsome and a wonderful singer, but couldn’t he cut his pony-tail?
Sue Miles
Buckingham, Va.
Dear Sue,
To cut or not to cut?—that is the question. I’ll leave it in the hands—as it were—of my millions of 16 readers. Ill [sic] let you know later how they voted. Meanwhile, you 16-ers write and tell me what you think MARK should do.

Dear Miss Stavers,

Dear Gloria,
We were deluged with mail from your readers after you ran our address. We would like to try to help all 16-ers, who so desire, get a British pen friend, but your readers must enclose 15ยข for postage in each letter or we simply will go broke from buying enough postage to answer back. O.K.?
