It's Tax Day - hope you're expecting a refund just like Jo-Jo Kay the parakeet!
June 23, 1955 - Washington, D.C.
T. Coleman Andrews, Commissioner of Internal Revenue is shown discussing an income tax refund with Jo-Jo Kay, a parakeet which paid $20.50 in income taxes and $12.30 Social Security last year. Jo-Jo earned $615 in salary from an Atlanta, Ga., jewelry co., of which he had $25 in deductible traveling expenses and a $1 charitable contribution, dropping his taxable income to $589 or less than the $600 personal exemption. Jo-Jo wants his refund and refused to utter any of the 60 words in his vocabulary and left all his talking to his attorney.
[P16 ANDREWS, T.COLEMAN]

The San Francisco Public Library owns the photo morgue of the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin, a daily newspaper that covered the time period from the 1920s to 1965. Much of the San Francisco Historical Photograph Collection comes from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue. However, the morgue also includes statewide, national, and international subjects and people that have not been digitized or cataloged. When researchers order scans from the San Francisco News-Call Bulletin Photo Morgue,selections are cataloged and added to the online database.
