Trucks with an average registration gain of 25% over the 1935 quarter showed even a better record than passenger cars, which as a whole rose 22%. After 65 consecutive profitless months, White Motor Co. went into the black with registrations spurting 76% over the first quarter last year. After losing $187,000 in the first period of 1935, Mack Trucks, Inc. cashed in on general sales gains to the extent of earning...
