Description

OCR of the article is garbled. The piece (Dec 25, 1930) states that E. Sohlberg of McPherson was appointed receiver for the Commercial State Bank of Lindsborg and says he 'is also' (appointment) 'for the Citizens State bank at' (text cut off). Context and given bank metadata indicate the Citizens State Bank at McPherson had a receiver appointed and the McPherson institution 'will be wound up shortly.' No explicit mention of a prior run is present in the article, only receivership/closure. I classify this as a suspension leading to closure (receivership).
