Transcript

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 gun, 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, un-nimacy! 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 Rise bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

I've heard about it. It's amazing. It's terrific. It's your big chance of a lifetime to get five all new brand new pocket size Bugs Bunny comic books. All yours for only fifteen cents and one box top from a package of delicious Quaker Puff Wheat or Quaker Puff Rice.

Stand by. Hear about this sensational offer in just a few minutes. The owner of the Nugget Mining Company near Selkirk was a man known as Mr. Barry Dexter. Dexter had come to the Yukon here before, and after buying the mine, had settled in Selkirk with his wife and thirteen-year-old son.

Now Dexter had an office in town, and employed Gil Morris as manager of the mining headquarters outside of Selkirk. Dexter rarely went to the mine, preferring to leave things to Morris. Paul was approaching when Barry Dexter with his wife and boy returned from a trip to Dawson City.

The following morning he was in his office when Gil Morris entered. Good morning Gil. How's everything at the man? Morning Mr. Dexter. I think it's been going a long time out there. Have a nice trip to Dawson City.
