Description

Article (Green Bay Press-Gazette, 1933-02-07) refers to the closing of the Farmers' State Bank, Calumet Harbor, and legal action concerning its president. The text links rumors and a detective agency investigation by the Wisconsin Bankers' Association; no explicit description of an on-site depositor run is given. Therefore I classify this as a suspension/closure (bank closed) with rumors alleged as the proximate cause. OCR errors in the article were corrected (e.g., 'prtsident' -> 'president', 'defunst' -> 'defunct').
