What the Quaker stands for

The Quaker on the outside of the Quaker Oats box guarantees the quality and purity of what is inside the box. He stands for an exclusive process — a different way of selecting and milling the oats — that brings it to your table clean and free from hulls.

Quaker Oats is easier to eat and to digest than any other rolled oats—a wholesome, satisfying food.

When you see the Quaker, therefore, remember that he is no mere trade-mark—he signifies, not only a different package, but a different food; a difference which has received world-wide recognition and approval.
