We are look- ing for improvement in the mear fu- ture, however.” Among statements in the article re- printed in the Plate Printer.is one an- rouncing: “The gang or gangs who are circulating these counterfeit notes evidently put out a lot with| a certain check letter and face plate | number and about the time these arc discovered and alarm notices sent out, changes are made to different check letters and face plate numbers.” Headlng the list is a description of 4 $1,000 federal reserve note.
