Description
Multiple contemporaneous newspapers (Jan 9–16, 1925) report a run on the Crawford County State Bank in Denison, IA triggered by the closing of the First National Bank elsewhere. The run was stopped when a high-powered automobile delivered large stacks of cash (reported about $200,000) into the vaults. There is no mention of the bank suspending or closing; therefore classified as run_only. OCR shows variations in the bank's name in articles; corrected to indicate it is a state bank as articles call it Crawford county State bank.
