Doors of Both Banks Closed

Owing to a constant withdrawal of funds during the fall and winter the State Bank of Culbertson did not open its doors on Monday, January 14th. A representative of the State Banking Department is making a thorough examination and plans for reorganization or liquidation will be carried out as soon as the examination is completed.

On the day following the closing of the State Bank the Citizens State Bank did not open for business and as a result Culbertson is left without banking facilities. Business proceeds as usual all with a firm conviction that the above is but a temporary inconvenience.

A report of the directors of the Citizens State Bank follows:

Owing to a heavy run on the bank, the Citizens State Bank of Culbertson was forced to close its doors on January 16, 1924.

The present banking failures throughout the country today has made it a very hard matter to withstand withdrawals and demands as they are being made and it is impossible to face a run of this nature.

The representative of the State Banking Department will take charge and the affairs of the bank gone over thoroughly and such plans for reorganization or liquidation to the depositors will be arranged on the completion of his report.

We do not know, at this time, how long this will take but the public and depositors can rest assured that everything will be done to arrange matters as soon as possible.
