Eating for Strength,
The greatest pleasure to be de
rived from eating is the pleasure one
gets in the knowledge that his food is
giving him greater strength and vi
tality.
Because of this fact there is a con
stant increase in the consumption of
Quaker Oats; every time the strength
making qualities of Quaker Oats have
been tested by scientific investigation
or by experiments in families it has
been found to be a food without an
equal.
It builds the muscles and brain with
out taxing the digestive organs; it
costs so little anyone can afford it,
and it is so carefully prepared and
packed that it is absolutely pure and
clean. A Quaker Oats eating family
is always a healthy family. 11
Quaker Oats is packed in regular
size packages and also in large size
family packages. The latter very con
venient for those not near the store.
