Article Text

State Superintendent of Banks T. R. Bennett has authorized the treopening of the Bank of Lawrenceville, which was closed several months ago. This makes a total of about twenty banks in Georgia which have been able, by a general improvement in business conditions, to resume operations after being suspended. This is an evidence of Georgia's ability to "come back." no matter how badly strained its business conditions may be at times.
