Description
Multiple contemporaneous articles (Feb 14–15, 1930) report the Exchange National Bank in Shreveport 'failed to open' and 'business suspended by order of the board of directors, pending reorganization.' No article here documents a reopening; some pieces call the bank 'closes' or 'goes under.' Cause is not specified in the reports (board-ordered suspension pending reorganization), so classified as suspension leading to closure (most likely permanent) given language. If additional articles show a reopening, episode_type should be revised.
