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

Unkink! Unkink! 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.

There's the kickoff and the game is ours! Whether it's football you like to play or any other sport, you need a hearty breakfast. So start tomorrow to enjoy a breakfast of delicious Quaker Puff Wheat or Quaker Puff Rice with milk or cream and fruit.

Quaker Puff Wheat and Quaker Puff Rice furnish extra health benefits of restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron, and their shot from guns to make them crisp and tender. Their shot through and through is well not like flavor too.

Don't wait. It's the hardy breakfast you like to eat. Quaker, pop rice, or Quaker, pop wheat. Old-timer had been one of the best sled dogs in the Yukon during his day, but he was growing very old now, and even during the summer months he found it hard to find food.

That was why King dropped into the habit of bringing him to the northwest-mounted barracks for his meals. Sergeant Preston took one look at old-timer's teeth and prepared some soft food for him. When it was placed before the old Husky, King snipped at it and looked up at his master.
