Description

Article states the Bank of Wilber fully opened and reopen March 30 (1933). No run or depositor panic is mentioned. Given the March 1933 date this reopening follows the nationwide/state banking holiday and suspensions; I classify the prior closure as a suspension (government action) though the article does not explicitly state the cause. No evidence of a run or permanent closure.
