Description

The Citizens Savings Bank of Mount Clemens closed Nov. 23, 1932 and was placed in receivership (receiver B. A. Kalahar). Subsequent articles (1941โ€“1944) describe receiver actions, payoffs to depositors and sale of remaining assets. There is no article describing a depositor run prior to suspension; events reflect a permanent closure with a receiver managing payouts and asset sales.
