Douglas Bank Closes Doors For Liquidation Many readers of this paper, whether interested in a financial sense or not, will learn with regret of the closing of the Bank of Douglas, an institution in operation more than forty years. "Frozen Assets" is the reason given by the Department of Trade and Commerce officials, when notified that the bank would be closed for liquidation. The bank was established by Chas. Marshall, at one time state senator and for many years member of a prominent business firm of Weeping Water. William Marshall, brother of the founder, is president of the institution, Dr. A. H. Hostetter, vice president, and Dean Marshall, son of the president, is cashier. There was no run on the bank, it is asserted, and the decision to ask for the department's aid in liquidation came after the stockholders had decided that such action was wise. According to the cashier, "the action was taken in the interest of the depositors. Let us hope there will be no great loss to anyone interested. Douglas has been one of the very few small towns where two banks have been maintained, hence the town is not left without banking facilities, and in time. let us hope, such adjustment will be made as to work no hardship on either the town or the bank's stockholders.
