Now as howling winds echo across the snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, the Quaker Oats Company, makers of Quaker Pop Week, and Quaker Pop Rice, the delicious cereal shot from gun. In cooperation with the Mutual Broadcasting System, present by special recording Sergeant Preston of the Yukon.
