This is a proceeding for the redetermination of deficiencies in income and profits taxes for the years 1920 and 1921 in respective amounts of $9,662.79 and $10,669.96. The only issue is whether the petitioner was affiliated with the A-B Stove Co. On motion of respondent at the hearing, the A-B Stove Co. entered an appearance as a party to the proceeding although it does not appear that any deficiency is proposed against it.

The petitioner did some work for others than the *1231Stove Company, but by agreement between the petitioner and the Stove Company the work done for the latter received precedence over that of others. Occasionally employees of the Stove Company were loaned to the petitioner and in such cases a charge was made against the petitioner for the services of the employees. The office of the petitioner was in that of the Stove Company, but separate books were kept for each company.
During the taxable years the positions of president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer of both companies were held, respectively, by F. K. Berry, John T. Woodhouse, and P. C. De Yol. The president and secretary received nominal salaries from the petitioner and drew their principal salaries from the Stove Company.
