I read the article you referenced. The wording sounds like a non-English speaker, maybe an article written for a class, but not something that was well researched.
Last sentence in the article: "And if the company can survive Depression and two world wars, it's impossible that they couldn't get through intense competition now."
Huh? White was acquired by Electrolux in 1986. Bottom line is that I don't think the information is accurate. I think the "researcher" got mixed up with the White Company and white featherweights made by Singer, but I could be wrong.
I would not speculate if this person is non-English or not, or if this piece is equivalent to something that may be written for a class. This type of writing is now found in many of our periodicals today. But, I do think that the writer may have gotten confused with the machines. And that is why I'm asking for information. Did Singer take the White FW and improve it?
