The reductions affect four Of the

duty trucks or bus chassis prices.
"Fac,ory expansion and improve.

made price reductions possible, 4" said
Mr.. White. some savings have
been made in the cost OF manufac-
turing light duty trucks. and these
arc now being passed along TO our

THE quality OF all White models
remains unchanged. Bottom prices
rule in heavy duty models as well
as In those designed for light duty.
The reductions are based exclusively
on our long established policy TO sell
