NIGHT SHIFT ON
NEW NASH ORDERS
November Expected to Set
Another Record in Sales
of Nash Co.
TURNED THE CORNER"

November will set another new Nash
sales record, according to every indi-
cation in the first half of the month.
Continued demand for the new Nash
tory oversold ever since the announce
ment Aug. 1, will make this the great
est November in the history of the
Nash Motors company and very close
second, in the point of sales, to the
month of October which had the great
est business ever recorded by Nash.
At time when the automobile in
dustry as a whole is passing through
the normally Glow period" of the year,
plants of the Nash Motors company
are literally working night and day.
Night shifts were put on at the Ad-
vanced Six factory in Kenosha within
few days after the announcement of
the new line; two weeks later the Mil
waukee plant, where the Special Six
is built, also put on night shift, and
about the same time the plant of the
Seaman Body corporation, which
builds Nash enclosed bodies exclusive
ly, was operating night and day.
Many of the departments in the Sea-
man plant run not only night and day
but Sunday as well; this is not true
of the entire plant but is an indication
of the unusual efforts that are being
made by Nash Motors to meet the de-
mand which greeted the announcement
of it's new line of cars. With the cleo
tion over business in general has turn
ed the corner and according to those
who have given the situation close
study there is every indication of a
prosperous year throughout 1925.

SAMUEL MORRIS
OFF TO PRISON
Man Wanted Here on Forg-
cry Charge is Sentenced
In Indiana.
TRIED TO FOOL BANKS.
Ken0sha Bankers Did Not Fall
for Game and Morris Dis
appeared After Attempt.

A forger, who dealt in big figures,
never trying to cash a mere 5-dollar
forged check, and who recently tried
to outwit the clerks of two banks in
Kenosha during his stay here, has been
arrested. at Indianapolis, Ind, and sent
to the state prison of Indiana for a
period of from one to five years on the
charge of forgery.
Samuel Morris is his name, but he
had as many aliases as there are let
ters in Samuel. He was known here
as Morris Cherkasky and also as Nor
ris Levy.
Tried to Pass Check for 5000.
Morris, while in Kenosha, played a
smoother game than most forgers, but
on the other hand he tried his wits
fry among his kind usually ply their
illegal trade among small shopkeep-
ers.
He opened an account while here
with the United States National bank
and also with the Brown National bank.
In the first bank he placed a deposit Of
500 and in the second $3.50. He drew
small amounts on each of these banks
from time to time and became ac-
quainted with the tellers and other
officers Of the bank.
Saturday Morning Game.
Saturday morning is the time often
selected by crooks to work their
games because the banks close at
noon and do not, open again for a
day and a half-time is gained before
the fraud can be checked up. Bank
ers of course are just as familiar with
this game as the underworld can be
and are by no means asleep on Satur-
day morning.
One Saturday noon at IL o'clock,
Morris drew out the money he had at
the United States National bank here
and at 1915 he went over to the
Brown National bank with forged
check signed "Wollen," saying that he
wanted to put 5000 of the amount up
on his checking account. The cashier
refused, saying he must have an en-
dorser. Then Morris went to real
estate agent to get the endorsement,
but the agent put him off, saying he
would meet him later at an appointed
hour. In the meantime the real es-
tate agent called the police office and a
detective was detailed at the place
to watch for Morris return. He did
not show up.
Nothing further was heard of the
man until the police learned that Nor
ris had been arrested at Indianapolis.
The Indiana department sent Ber-
tillon photograph of the man and ask
ed if he we're known here. Secretary
Emil Meissner Of the local police de-
partment, who keeps the files and pho
tographs of all criminals who are
wanted here or who have been con-
victed in the local courts, sent the his
tory of Morris back.
Today the chief of police received
message from the Indianapolis chief
stating that Morris has been sentenced
to the state penitentiary at Indiana.
