Description

Multiple contemporaneous articles (Aug 17, 1931) report Bruno State Bank 'failed to open their doors' (closed by officers) as a direct result of recent bank suspensions in Omaha. Assistant receivers were appointed Aug 22, 1931. Receiver actions and asset sales follow through late 1931 and 1932; partial dividends were paid to depositors (Jan 1932), but the bank was placed in receivership and wound up rather than a simple temporary closure. No article describes a depositor run prior to suspension, so classify as a suspension leading to closure/receivership.
