J. W. Fitzgerald, Sioux
Novelty Company, of S o u t h
Dakota must have h a d t h e
gasoline rationing plan in mind
when he sent in his “buck” for
renewal of subscription and
penned the f o l l o w i n g note:
“Here is hoping— have a swal
low of gasoline on me, or I
should say a smell. At any rate
‘more power to you’.” That’s
the “V” spirit, old-timer. With
it you are bound to continue to
be a bigger and better opera
tor.

NEW FORMS HELP
OPERATORS COMPLY
• To serve operators with their
war-time requirements f o r
keeping records r e q u i r e d by
the f e d e r a l l a w , Charles
Fleischmann, of the Baltimore
Salesbook Co., 120 West 42nd
St., New York City, has devel
oped items which will h e l p
operators comply with the law.
A new form V-55 is a simple
V i c t o r y Tax Record Book
whereby the operator can keep
a complete record of all salar
ies and wages paid his employ
ees, as well as deductions from
each week’s pay check. The
5% Victory Tax became effect
ive January 1, 1943. Every em
ployee earning over $12 a week
must receive a receipt for in
come including tax and other
deductions. Form V-55 is a
simple and inexpensive method
to keep such a record..
Another is the Daily Truck
Report Pad to be used with the
operator’s Certificate of War
N e c e s s i t y . The Office of
D e f e n s e Transportation re
quires a record of the daily use
of each commercial vehicle.
You and your service men will
find this pad particularly help
ful to substantiate claims for
needed gasoline and tires.
Form “H ”, the H a n d y s e t
Location Agreement, is proving
very valuable and timely due
to Federal Taxes, and the new
F e d e r a l Tax on all phono
graphs. This Location Agree
ment form has a tax clause in
it. More operators are taking
advantage of war conditions
to insist on written signed a
greements for one or two years
at more equitable terms, con
sidering higher operating costs.
Information, descriptive cir
culars, and prices on the above,
and other forms used by opera
tors will be sent on request by
Mr. Fleischmann. Write to him
at 120 WTest 42nd Sreet., New
York City.
