Description

Articles show the bank was closed and a receiver (Charles W. Johnson) was appointed Feb 9, 1928. Notices in Jan 1929 ask depositors to file claims within one year of the receiver's appointment. No article describes a depositor run; the closure appears to be by appointment of a receiver (government action). A dividend payment of 60% was announced for April 10, 1928 while the bank remained closed under receivership.
