Never theless, his name will never be for gotten in North Carolina, for we named our capital city "Raleigh" in his honor.

Getting right down to it, one reason why you get as much as 10% to 15% more miles per gallon from a 1941 Firebau Buick with Compound Car buretion is that this engine is supplied with more air. For it is a mixture of gasoline and air that gives you power. A single carburetor, no matter how many jets it has, can handle only so much air. But two carburetors that function as needad, as is the case in Compound Carburetion, can meet any fuel-supply need from low-speed to heavy-power use ? and always provide a well-bal anced mixture. They can double the air auppiy as well as the gasoline feed ? and that's some thing you can't do in any single-carhu retor car. So Compound Carburetion gets as much as K00 miles for the gas-cost of 700 in earlier liuicks of the same size. It also provides a walloping big bank of reserve power, which means an up and-at-'em lift and surge that's nothing short of thrilling to experience. And you can have Compound Carbu retion, you know, on any 1941 Huick - it's only a few dol lars extra on the swell big Speciai. pictured here, and / standard equip ment on all other models. 9/5 for the Bu*ines> Coupe 'Best Buick Yet EUMPIAI Of OCNUAl MOTOCS VAiUf dtbverrd at litnt, A4tth.
