Description

Multiple newspapers (July 16-17, 1931) report the Security State Bank of Lockney 'failed to open its doors' on July 15-16, 1931. The articles do not describe a run at this specific bank nor any reopening; they describe its failure to open which in turn intensified runs at nearby Floydada. No explicit cause for the Lockney bank's suspension is given in the snippets, so classified as 'other'.
