Description

Newspapers report Globe Bank & Trust Co. taken over by the State Banking Department on Aug 23, 1931; articles blame gossip/malicious rumors and refer to runs on recently closed banks. The bank was placed in liquidation and later legal notices (July 1932) show Manufacturers Trust involved in paying creditors. Sequence consistent with a run or rumor-induced loss of confidence, state suspension/takeover, and permanent closure with liquidation.
