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 guns, Present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, Blasing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-mounted police, In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers, on King Husky!

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.

Listen to this sound picture. Ahhh. Oh boy. Yes, that's what it sounds like around the breakfast table when folks first try rich thick cream and fruit on a heaping bowl of Quaker Puff Rice or Quaker Puff Wheat.

It's a breakfast deluxe. Taste it. Every spoonful of those king-sized grains of wheat or rice is mouth, water and good. So crisp, so nut-like in flavor. No extra delicious all covered with velvety smooth rich cream.

Don't wait, enjoy this deluxe treat tomorrow morning. Taste tempting Quaker Puff Rice or Quaker Puff Wheat. Elaine McNeil's Satitter Father's Bedside. The lamplight shed a soft glow over the gaunt features of the dying man.

Duncan McNeil was saying. Oh, young Phil Rocklin is coming to call again tonight. Yes. He said he'd be around about eight o'clock. He's a mighty persistent young fellow. How many times has he asked you to marry?

Twice. And I reckon he'll ask you again tonight. Well, I don't know. Listen, Elaine. Before I die, I want you to promise me one thing. Yes, father. I reckon you know what I'm going to ask.
