Description

Articles (Dec 22–23, 1933) report the receiver of the Burnet National Bank notifying depositors of an additional 15% dividend, bringing total dividends to 60%. This indicates the bank is in receivership (failed) and is liquidating—no run or temporary suspension/reopening is described. OCR in articles is poor; names and phrasing corrected where obvious (e.g., 'A. Best, the Burnet National Bank' interpreted as 'A. Best, receiver of Burnet National Bank').
