Description

The Lincoln Savings & Trust Co. was closed by the state banking commissioner April 10, 1907 (receiver John J. Reiley appointed), resumed business July 11, 1907, and then failed to open and was placed in receivership again (Samuel M. Hyneman appointed) on June 19, 1908. No runs are described in the articles; closures were by regulator/court order. I corrected minor OCR variations in the receiver's name across articles (Hyneman/Hineman/Haynoman) to Samuel M. Hyneman as the consistent appointee in June 1908.

FORCED TO CLOSE DOORS Suspension of Philadelphia Savings and Trust Company. Philadelphia, April 11.-The Lincoln Savings and Trust company, one of the small financial institutions of Philadelphia, has suspended business by order of John A. Berkey, state commissioner of banking, on the ground that the capital of the company is impaired. The total resources of the Institution are $421,000 and the deposits amount to $250,000. At the last examination there was a surplus of $14,000. James I. Comly, the president of the company, is in Harrisburg in conference with Commissioner Berkey and in his absence Henry F. Stitzell, the treasurer, said: "This company is absolutely solvent and there is not a possibility of any creditor of the institution not being paid in full." Mr. Stitzell said that the matter of a possible impairment of the capital is a question of opinion. In the judgment of the officers, he said, the capital is not impaired and the company is able to protect all depositors.
