Transcript

Now as gunshots echo across the wind swept, snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker-pop wheat and Quaker-pop rise, a breakfast cereal shot from gun. Present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-mounted police.

In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers, un-kink, un-hinky! 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!

You know what that reminds me of? Why it makes me just downright hungry for some good thick yellow cream and fruit on a heaping bowl of Quaker Puff Wheat or Quaker Puff Rice. That's what, mmm, mmm, there's a special treat.

Take a big spoonful. Those king-sized grains of wheat are rice so crisp, so nut-like in flavor, taste more tempting, more scrumptious than ever when they're covered with smooth rich cream. Try it tomorrow morning for a special treat with delicious nutritious Quaker Pup Rice or Quaker Pup Wheat.

It was soon after daylight when Ed Vickers, an old prospector, set out from his cabin near Follerville and made his way over the rugged ground near Panther Creek. He had covered nearly two miles before he paused and glanced slowly around to make sure of his bearings.
