THE price you pay for substitutes
i is the same as for the genuine
Quaker Oats. The difference is in
the favor. And favor, above all
things, is important in oats.
That rich and toasty Quaker flavor
is the result of some so years milling
experience. Once you taste it, you are
spoiled for ordinary oats.
That is why millions demand the
Quaker brand-why you should ac-
cept no other.
Quaker milling, too, retains much of
the bulk" of oats. And that makes
1axatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates, and vitamines and

Quaker Oats an excellently "bal-
