Infinite trouble will follow for bank

torted that, while vertical writing made
the way easier for The forger, its COM
pensating advantages to those who had
to handle such correspondence is so
great that Il is justified. Furthermore,
according TO the Boston school board
Official, forgers are bound TO exercise
their skill and brains anyway, and

a little sharper when a check comes

Signatures have ever been puzzle to
