Mete, this was TV not radio. I'm old, but we did have TV when I was a kid. I was trying to think of the sponsor before and to be honest, I just can't think of it. Like I said, I'm OLD! It was for some cereal, but not my regular, I made my Mom buy it special just to get that Land Deed. I bet if I find the Deed it will have the sponsors name on it. I gotta find that deed. I got a feeling I'm going to need that retirement house real soon. :D

I wonder if it was Ruskets flakes. I used to see commercials for Ruskets all the time when I was very young (early 1960's) but they seem to have disappeared without a trace since then.

The sponsor was The Quaker oats company. Hit your local antique shop no, doubt they will have one of the certificates for sale.
 
I used to have a magic decoder ring from one of the radio programs but I can't remember which. At the end of the program they gave you a secret coded message . When you decoded it it was some silly thing like 'be a good little boy ' !! ..Early radio was , for many, the introduction to classical music because they had classical theme music .
