Description

Articles describe the bank having closed for a moratorium, a receiver (Carl Granzow) being appointed and filing actions (Mar 19, 1934), and later dividend/ liquidation payments to depositors (Oct 25, 1934). No article describes a depositor run; the bank was in receivership and underwent liquidation/reorganization with dividend distributions—consistent with a suspension that resulted in permanent closure/receivership.
