Description

The single (duplicate) newspaper item dated 1921-10-13 states simply that Both the First National Bank and the South Amboy Trust Company were closed yesterday. There is no mention of a run, receivership, or permanent failure. This most likely reflects a temporary closure (no cause given). I therefore classify as a suspension with no run and presumed reopening; no evidence of receivership or permanent closure in the provided articles.
