Description

OCR of the article is heavily garbled. The article (Feb 4, 1933) reports a court order forcing the Citizens Bank of Hurlock to be closed and a petition filed to rescind that order; an examiner and state banking officials are involved. It is not explicit whether the bank later reopened; the wording indicates a court-ordered closure, so I classify as suspension leading to closure. Corrected obvious OCR errors in the snippet.
