Now as gun shots echo across the wind swept snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker Pothweat and Quaker Pothweat the breakfast cereal shot from gun present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King swiftness and strongest lead door to the northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the northwest valley police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

One King, one Husker! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon. A stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches. Back to the days of the Gold Rush. With Quaker Puff Wheat and Quaker Puff Rice bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

Here's the breakfast I really go for. He's enjoying his Quaker Puff Wheat. Looks good too. It is good. Right, Billy, and so is Quaker Puff Rice. These giant ready to serve grains of wheat or rice are premium grains.

They're shot from guns, puffed to perfection, exploded up to eight times normal size to make them crisp and tender. Quaker Puff Wheat or Quaker Puff Rice shot from guns is good for you too. Makes a thrifty deluxe family breakfast with milk and fruit.
