I was always schooled by some good mechanics that it is a good way to

Most other cars of the Model A era had some type of rudimentary or basic air filter or cyclone type device to separate particulates out of the air stream. 1928 Chevy had a crude can type cyclone affair that also served as part of the preheating system. My former 1926 Buick came from the factory with a cyclone type of can on the carb inlet.
The idea being as the air was drawn in, the heavier dirt particles would be spun by centrifugal force and exit through a slot or hole on the bottom of the canister.
