Description

Two clippings (1932 'From Files of 10 and 20 Years Ago') report that a run on the People's Bank at Hilo was stopped when the bank 'closed its doors pending the arrival' of the territorial treasurer. The item is a brief retrospective note (published 1932) referring to events ~20 years earlier (circa 1912). The article documents a run and an immediate closure to stop withdrawals but does not state whether the bank later reopened, so I classify as run_suspension_unsure. Bank type not specified in excerpts.
