Description

Newspaper (The Courier, Waterloo) dated 1931-12-17 reports Dundee Savings Bank had suspended operations Thursday under instructions from the state bank examiner. The article gives no information about reopening; suspension was by state bank examiner (government action). Because no reopening or receivership info is provided in the articles, I classify this as a suspension leading to closure (suspension_closure) but note the final disposition is not explicitly stated in the snippet.
