Ford Should Use
New CarburetOr

Although il may sound irreve.
l&nt 10 suggest that instead of re-
ducing prices, or changing the out
ward appearance of the car, Henry
, Ford should devote some attention
! TO improving he carburetion system
of his car, this is exactly what seine
of the most successful autolnative
engineers in the country have sug-
gested," declares Herbert Holt of
the Electrical Service Co.
''The mequafed popularity it has
always enjoyed and the success
with which the Ford ear has been
distributed, would seem to in licate
that it has met with public approv-
III.
The real point is the danger,
because Of our shrinking oil wealth,
OF an economic struggle between
nations for control OF the world s
petroleum resources. An improved
carburetor, such as the Strombcrg,
on each Ford in use would conserve
million Of barrels Of petroleum ev-
cry year. Surely that is worth
while even today, when the supply
is apparently plenty. How much
more It will be appreciated in the
coming days when we. as nation,
will awaken to he danger of short
age of automobile fuel that casts Il
sinister shadow over US.
