Description
Multiple contemporary newspaper notices (April 1920) report a 'run' on the Vincennes State Bank, the bank closed its doors due to a shortage of cash and was reported likely to reopen within days. The articles do not give a concrete cause for the run beyond 'run' or 'shortage of cash', so cause is classified as 'other/unknown'. Reopening date is reported variably (papers of Apr 13 say reopening Friday Apr 16; Apr 19 paper says reopening Tuesday morning), so I record the predicted reopening (Apr 16) and note the slight discrepancy.
