Transcript

Now, as gunshots echo across the windswept, snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, Waker Puff Wheat, and Waker Puff Run, the 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 Mountain Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

King Unnukkis! Gold, gold discovered in Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the Gold Rush, with Quaker Poth Wheat and Quaker Poth Rise bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

Here's a bell-ringer breakfast dish. A heaping bowl full of Quaker Puffed Wheat, or Quaker Puffed Rice, covered with rich, thick yellow cream, and topped with sweet chill fruit. Mmm, mmm, just taste the tender Christmas, the delicious nut-like flavor of Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice.

See how lusciously they blend with the fruit and velvety smooth cream. For this bell-ringer treat, hurry and stock up on delicious Quaker Puff Rice and Quaker Puff Wheat. Lin Beckett had come to the Yukon territory with his wife Lucy and his small son Tommy.

Lin had tried his hand at working a claim, but finding that it didn't pay off, he took a job with the express company at Selkirk as clerk in the office. As time went by, John Danvers' express agent and Lin's boss seemed to put more and more more responsibility on Lynn back at shoulders.

But instead of resenting it, Lynn was complimented to have his boss trust him so completely. Oh, good morning, Mr. Danvers. Cold enough for you this morning? Morning, Lynn. I reckon it's the coldest we've had this fall.
