You Pay No more, no less... but Quaker Oats has the flavor - f THE difference in breakfast oats is in their flavor The price mostly is the same. Millions demand the Quaker brand because of its toasty, wonderful flavor. For flavor is the important point in food. Some 50 years were spent perfecting that famous Quaker flavor.

Protein, carbohydrates and vitamines and “bulk” are thus combined to make Quaker Oats an excellently balanced, ration. Get Quick Quaker (cooks in 2% to 5 minutes) or Quaker Oats today at your grocer. See how much finer tomorrow's breakfast will be than today’s. Quaker Oats
