Your guess is as good as mine, although Oats is a big crop and food grain in Scotland. It grows farther north than Wheat will. It's also a staple in the Northern US... Oats was a traditional farm breakfast here a century....And through that period the instant and quick-cooking oatmeals were being developed...Quaker, H-O, Maypo, and others were hot-serve, but cold cereals were really the thing with Television....kind of a TV Breakfast.

As an aside, thinking back....I Remember a cartoon Cowboy, like 'Lariat Sam' walking into a Cafe, with a pretty, skirted waitress, behind the counter, and an Oatmeal ad behind her... She asks for his order and he says" Gimme some of them HO oats!"....today thatd get you shot...?

Yup. And a Church would be where you would see the truly edge fashions of any season. Most towns had a Milliner who custom made Ladies. Hats....
