Oats Are Ready
Before the man is dressed
There is now a Quick Quaker Oats, perfected by our experts.
It cooks in from 3 to 5 minutes—far quicker than any other oats
you can buy. And it cooks to perfection.
.. If that means anything to you, it’s another reason for always
getting Quaker Oats.
The same exquisite flavor
Quaker Oats are world-famed for their flavor. Millions of oat
lovers send over seas to get them. In every country this is the
favorite brand.
1 They are flaked from queen grains only—just the rich, plump,
flavory oats. All flavorless grains are discarded. A bushel of
choice oats yields but ten pounds of these delicious flakes.
Quick Quaker employs those same queen grains. But the oats
are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and are partly
cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner—that is all. And
those small, thin flakes cook quickly.
Now you have your choice at equal price. Regular Quaker with
its matchless flavor. Quick Quaker with that same flavor, plus
tive-minute cooking.
But you get neither of those qualities unless you insist on the
Quaker brand. 7
