Description

Multiple contemporaneous articles (Aug 17, 1931) report the Bruno State Bank 'failed to open' (temporary suspension) attributed to recent suspensions in Omaha that tied up reserves. Governor Bryan appointed assistant receivers for Bruno State Bank on Aug 22–23, 1931, indicating the institution entered receivership and did not resume normal independent operations. Subsequent receiver notices (late 1931–1932) document liquidation activity. Although a January 1932 notice mentions a 10% dividend paid to depositors during reorganization, the bank had been placed in receivership and wound up under state supervision rather than a simple temporary suspension-and-reopen — therefore classified as suspension leading to closure/receivership.
