Andrews. Administrative Officer

enue Service said today.
The money-savers are listed in
this order.
First, tax-payers are urged to
prepare their own 1857 returns.
By using Information that comes
with tax forms and with other
available booklets, "the average
taxpayer can do his own return.*
Second way to help yourself and
Uncle Sam save money is by
checking and re-checking that 1957
return before dropping it in the
mail box. By being certain that
both husband and wife have, sign-
ed, if it’s a joint return, and by
attaching a W-2 form for each 1
job the taxpayer held during the
taxable year, you can save money
and perhaps, “hurry that refund
check - if you have one coming.”
Third money saving suggestion
is to "file that return for '57 just
as soon as possible after January
