Why does Great Britain buy Its

Certainly it 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
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 has succeeded would
