Description

Articles (Jan 18–19, 1933) report the Ashland National Bank suspended business after Mayor M. E. Dillon issued a 30-day business holiday/moratorium proclamation. No article describes a depositor run or a receivership; suspension appears driven by local government proclamation. It is not stated here whether the bank ultimately reopened, but many contemporaneous 'bank holidays' were temporary; I classify as suspension_reopening while noting reopening is not explicitly documented in these clippings.
