Description

Article (Fort Collins Coloradoan, 1933-09-25) lists an RFC advance of $3,410 to Briggsdale State bank under loans to aid in the ... liquidation of banks closed or in process of liquidation. The text indicates the bank was closed and in liquidation; no run is mentioned. I therefore classify this as a suspension/closure (receivership/liquidation) supported by RFC assistance.
