Description

Multiple newspaper reports (Jan 18-19, 1933) state Ashland National Bank suspended business after Mayor M. E. Dillon issued a 30-day business holiday (moratorium). No run is described; action appears to be a local government-declared moratorium/holiday, implying a temporary suspension. Reopening is not explicitly reported in these clippings, but the mayor's 30-day holiday suggests a temporary suspension rather than permanent closure.
