Description

Multiple papers (Nov–Dec 1922) report a run on Fruitland State Bank that caused it to 'close its doors Thursday noon' after the Payette National Bank closed. The cashier summoned the state bank commissioner and hoped the closing was temporary. No article here confirms a reopening or a receivership; therefore I classify as run → suspension with outcome unsure.
