' Nailtated by the tremendous vol-
umi of Increased business, plana for
the largeat expansion program ever
undertnken by the White Motor com
peny were revealed yesterday when
. Walter W. Abbey, local White dealer,
announoed that more than 92,000,000
will be spent within the next year
and a half for new machinery and
tool, property repair, building con
structlon and the Installation of a
complete new plant for the building
of heavy-duty coach bodies for city
service.
. Moat Important Items In the plan
are those calling for tho construction
of a spacious combination testing
plant and research laboratory, and
the bus body building division; pur
chase and rearranging of new ma
chinery, tools and heat-treating
equipment; dy nanometers for tfnglne
testing, creation of greater storage
facilities, and general property lm
provement.
"Although this program has been
under consideration for quite some
time, Immediate action was necessi
tated by the surge of additional busl
neas created by the introduction of
the new White 91000 truck lino, and
the Increasing popularity of J3-cyl-Inder
"pancake" engine city coaches
and heavy duty trucks' Mr. Abbey
said. "Considering that 1036 was a
banner year In unit sales and deliv
eries, the fact that deliveries alone
for the first two months of this year
Increased 8ft percent over the same
period last year explains the need
for expansion.
"This broad program will double
production capacity for trucks and
buses, and thereby relieve pressure
on various divisions now taxed to
the limit. Launching of the $2,000.
000 plan expresses the faith of the
White Motor company In their belief
that the present national uptrend In
business will continue,
