Description

The articles are foreclosure notices (July 1921) that refer to 'Steven H. Lynch, as Receiver of Merchants Bank of Salt Lake, Utah, a defunct corporation.' No run or temporary suspension is described; the bank is in receivership and treated as defunct, indicating permanent closure. I therefore classify this as a suspension/closure (receivership).
