Description

Articles (Apr 6 and Sep 27, 1931) describe the First National Bank of St. Louis as closed and in receivership; a receiver is securing judgments and multiple receivers were appointed. No article describes a depositor run prior to the closing. Thus this is a suspension that resulted in closure/receivership.
