1937, 15 minute continuation, transcribed and syndicated for Grape Nuts Flakes, with commercials and premium offers intact (cowboy hat, western chaps, and club membership badge, each for a dime and a red boxtop): 39 episodes were said to have been produced, running in one market June 25, 1937-March 18, 1938. The openings and closings were chronologically general, so they might play daily, weekly, or several times a week. The stories narrated by a western hand known only as "the Old Wrangler," told the adventures of cowboy film star Buck Jones (Charles Frederick Gebhart) and his horse Silver (named in the Jones films before the advent of The Lone Ranger).
