Concatenation of 1! 2! 3! ... is disjunctive?

This webpage cites

>> "A Note on N!", John E. Maxfield. Kansas State University, Mathematics Magazine, March-April 1970, pp.64-67

for a theorem stating that

"If A is any positive integer having M digits, there exists a positive integer N such that the first M digits of N! constitute the integer A."

However, I haven't been able to verify this citation. Can anyone else confirm it?

Online sources: Maxfield's article and a paper by L. Southard (“Investigations on Maxfield's Theorem.” Pi Mu Epsilon Journal, vol. 7, no. 8, 1983, pp. 493–495).

"Every normal number in base b is disjunctive but not conversely." is incorrect

Counterexample, 1.23456789012345678901234567890... is normal in base 10, but is not disjunctive in base 10. Zenten (talk) 02:19, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Nevermind, I misunderstood the definition of normal. Reverted my change. Zenten (talk) 02:33, 17 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
