Description

The article (The Dawson News, 1925-07-14) explicitly states the Bank of Cuthbert is under suspension. No mention of a prior run or of reopening or receivership; because the piece treats the suspension as an ongoing/event with apparent lasting local impact, I classify as suspension_closure but note permanent closure/receivership is not explicitly stated in the article.
