Transcript

As gunshots echo across the wind, swept snow-covered reaches of the wild Northwest, Quaker popped wheat, and Quaker popped rice for breakfast cereal shot from Garmd. 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.

On King on the Huskies! 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 beat the challenge of the Yukon.

On you Huskies! Yes, think of traveling for hours and hours as Sarge and Preston does behind a team of huskies along the Yukon Trail through blinding blizzards and storms. Believe me, you'd want to start out with a nourishing he-man breakfast.

The kind that includes a heaping pole full of nutritious, crisp, Quaker Pop Wheat, or Quaker Pop Rice topped with milk or cream and fruit. Remember, in these famous cereal shot from guns, you get extra food values of restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron.

For a nourishing dish that's always a treat, enjoy Quaker Pop Rice and Quaker Pop Wheat. Tom Leaton and his older brother Frank had come to the Yukon territory during the first year of the Gold Rush, and had staked a claim outside of Selkirk.

Frank, who was thirty-one, was ten years older than Tom, and since the death of their parents a few years before, Frank had looked after his younger brother as best he could. The first year they had netted several thousand dollars in their claim, and Frank had opened a joint account at the bank so that the funds were available to either of them.
