Description

The articles repeatedly identify Douglass Stuart as receiver of the Mercantile-Railway Building and Loan Association and reference a court decree (Circuit Court, March 10, 1911) and a special commissioner's appointment to ascertain assets and creditors. There is no mention of deposit runs; this is a court-ordered receivership following chancery proceedings, i.e., a suspension/closure. I classify the institution as a private building-and-loan association (not a national/state/trust bank).
