Federal Auto Stamp Tax
Must Be Affixed To
Windshield By July 1
■ .*■
The new federal auto use tax
stamp, which every privately
owned motor vehicle on the high
ways July 1 is required to dis
play,^ differs in several respects
from those issued heretofore.
This $5.00 stamp, which goes on
sale Saturday, June 9 at all post
offices, and most internal revenue
offices, is the first to bear a por
trait and is the first printed in a
two-tone color, green.
The portrait is of Daniel Mann
ing. As a result of its use, the de
sign is such that the long dimen
sion of the stamp is horizontal in
stead of vertical, as were all pre
vious auto stamps. Manning was
Secretary of the Treasury in Pres
ident Cleveland’s first cabinet. His
was next in line in the series of
secretaries’ portraits used on rev
enue stamps.
The law requires not only that
stamps be purchased, but that
they be prominently displayed on
vehicles. The lower right-hand
comer of the windshield has been
designated as the appropriate
place to affix stamps.
The Internal Revenue Collector
suggests that when affixing the
stamp the vehicle owner dampen
the windshield instead of the ad
hesive side of the stamp. He said
it is advisable to cover it with one
of the protective adhesive shields
offered for sale. Owners are urged
to write the make and model of car,
engine number and license num
ber on the reverse side of the
stamp and to make a record of the
stamp serial number.
