Now as gunshots echo across the windswept, snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker Puff Wheat, and Quaker Puff Rise, the breakfast cereal shot from guns, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

One came one coming up. Gold, gold, discovered in a Yukon. A stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the gold rush. With Quakerpuff wheat and Quakerpuff rice bringing you the adventures of Sargent Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

Say, supposing you were blazing a trail, across the wind-swept snow-covered Great Northwest. Yes, like Sergeant Preston. Well, sir, you'd appreciate that real stamina calls for a nourishing breakfast. So check up! See to it that your breakfast tomorrow includes a heaping bowl full of Quaker Puffed Wheat or Quaker Puffed Rice with Milker Cream and Fruit.

Remember, wheat or rice shot from guns gives you added food values of restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron. And delicious? Taste them. You just can't beat Quaker Puff Rice and Quaker Puff Wheat.
