This Quaker Cooker
We have supplied perfect double Cookers to over
700,000 homes, to make Quaker Oats more delightful,
They are made to our order to bring out the fullness
of the flavor and aroma, '
Such a Cooker as this, if sold at retail, would cost
more than most homes would pay. But our purpose
requires it in every home where Quaker Oats are used,
so we ourselves supply it.
Our purpose is this: To 'create more Quaker Oats users, by
making this the best-loved morning dish.
To this end, we use queen grains only in this brand just the big,
plump grains. We get but ten pounds per bushel. That means that
two-thirds of the oats as they come to us are discarded in making
Quaker Oats. The result is large, lusdous flakes. They make this
dish doubly-delicious. Yet they cost you no extra price.
Pure Aluminum

Extra Large and Heavy
Cereal Capacity, 2 Qti.
Retail Yalue, $2.50
These flavory flakes have won the world to Quaker. In a hun
dred nations this is the favorite brand. Millions of oat lovers send thousands of miles to get it.
Our next object is right cooking, and we offer this Cooker to every home to attain it. But we supply only one to a liome.
Get this Cooker next week under this special offer. You want children to delight in this vim-food. You
want them to eat an abundance. The way to attain that is to serve Quaker Oats cooked in thlsQtrakcr Cooker.
Next Week 50c But No Longei
Next week's oflfer is this: Send us four trademarks thepic
ture of the Quaker cut from the frqnts of four Quaker Oats
packages. Send with them only 50 cents, check or money order
preferred, and we will send the Cooker by parcel post prepaid.
For one week for next week-we cut the payment in two.
