Description

The sole evidence in the article is that a farm bureau purchased a file case from a 'bank receiver' and it 'formerly belonged to the Altamont State bank.' That indicates the Altamont State Bank had been closed and placed in receivership prior to the article (Dec 23, 1928). No run or reopening is mentioned, so classify as a suspension leading to closure/receivership.
