Perryville's Old Bank Opens for Business The Old Bank at Perryville opened for business at the Old stand this morning. Some months ago the Old Bank suspended operations because the liquid assets were not sufficient for the time being. The Old Bank, however, was as solid as the Rock of Gibraltar and reduced its loan accounts and opened up as usual. During these depressing times hundreds and hundreds of banks in the nation have had similar experiences but without losses to anybody.
