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.
