Why does Great Britain buy tts
oatmeal of us2

oatmeal of us2
Certainly 1t seems like carrying
Goals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every
year the Quaker Oats Company SENDS
hundreds of thousands of cases OF
Quaker Oats to Great Britain and
Europe.
The reason is simple; while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically, and active
mentally of all people, the American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods OF
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade.
How well he mas succeeded would
be seen at glance at the export re-
ports of Quaker Oats. This brand Is
recognized as without rival in clean
| illness and delicious flavor. 81

certain sense. A steamer has come

can be built up. 1t is proposed to
build a canal from the Rhine across
