Description
Newspaper notices from May 1915 repeatedly refer to Harry S. Calvert as receiver for the Mercantile Trust Company of Pittsburgh and to filings of receivers' accounts. No article describes a depositor run. The bank is under receivership (closure) by court action. The source spelling provided 'Pittsburg' (in prompt) appears to be a minor typo; contemporary articles use 'Pittsburgh'.
