The Deep South DIsh site says this is the original recipe.  They have a picture of a 1952 ad with this and a nice article about the history and variations:

 

Wonderful nibbling
at snack-time!

Try this new PARTY MIX

Add 1/2 c. butter in shallow baking pan. Stir in 1 T. Worcestershire sauce. Add 2 c. Wheat Chex, 2 c. Rice Chex, and 1/2 c. nuts. Sprinkle with 1/4 t. salt and 1/8 t. garlic salt; mix well. Heat 30 mins in 300 degree oven, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool.



 

What a great web site! Thank you for mentioning it and for posting the recipe from the old advertisement. I'm pretty sure this is the version my mom made so many, many years ago. Thank you!  Woman Very Happy
