Description

All articles repeatedly identify the Mercantile Trust Company as 'Receiver, Little Rock, Arkansas', indicating the bank had been placed in receivership and is disposing of assets. No articles describe a depositor run or temporary suspension/reopening—so the sequence is a suspension/closure with receiver appointed. The advertisement date string '6-23' in the notice suggests mid‑June 1912 (papers carrying the ad are 1912-06-25 through 06-29).
