The amount of reduction is important only in relation to the amount of increase which has occurred, not over pre-war levels merely, but over the lowest previous figures. That is the only reliable indication of rock bottom. During the period of abnormal increases, White Truck prices were held down. Their average advance was the smallest in the in dustry. Now White Trucks take the lead in estab lishing a rock-bottom price level upon which truck purchasers can rely. ' In price as well as performance, White Trucks are the standard for comparative values. New Chassis Prices $4,500 2-ton . $3,250 4,200 34-ton F. O. B.
