i nr —;*i Now, a Quick' Quaker Oats Cook* in 3 to S minuta* Th* quicka.t coohin. oat. In ton warki Now your grocer has Quaker Oats in two styles. One the kind you have always known—the other ts Quick Quaker. Quick Quaker cooks in from 3 t* 5 minutes. And it cooks to perfection. So it is almost like a readycooked dish. x) . No other oat flakes on the market cook anywhere near so quickly. The two styles are identical in quality and flavor. Both are flaked ftotn the finest grains only—just the rich, plump, flavory oats. A bushel of choice oats yields but ten pounds of these delicious flakes. But in Quick Quaker the oats are cut before flaking. They are rolled very thin and partly cooked. So the flakes are smaller and thinner— that is all. And those small, thin flakes cook quickly. » Ask for Quick Quaker if yon want this style. Your grocer has both. But always get Quaker Oats for their flavor. i Mrs. Fraflk Schmitz and family. C. C.
