FINDINGS OP PACT.

The taxpayer is an individual residing in Pittsburgh, Pa., where he is employed as a traveling salesman by the American Trouser Co.

In 1920 he was on the road for 40 weeks, traveling to Detroit, Cleveland, and many other cities in Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other States. In 1921 he was so employed for not less than 21 weeks. He claims deductions from gross income for the years in question in the respective amounts of $2,500 and $1,395.50, incurred and paid as ordinary and necessary expenses in carrying on his business.
