BANKS REOPEN AS BUSINESS REVIVES AND CROPS LOOM With a bounteous crop in prospect, a business revival in sight and confidence returning to panicky depositors since the epidemic of bank suspensions has past, bankers and business men throughout the state are at work with renewed energy in the reorganization and reopening of many of the unfortunate institutions, says the Montana Banker. At Havre, the reorganized Security State Bank is to open for business the latter part of July under the name of the Hill County State Bank. The Farmers and Merchants Bank of Winnett has just begun business, succeeding the Winnett State Bank. The committee working on the reorganization of the Commercial National Bank of Miles City announces positively that the program will proceed and that the bank will open in the coming fall. The reorganization of the American Bank and Trust Company of Missoula is proceeding rapidly. A committee has been named to carry on the work and frequent meetings of depositors are being held. Efforts are being made to secure sufficient agreements to enable the First National Bank of Polson to reopen by September 1. A plan for the reopening of the State Bank of Culbertson, whereby the new bank will begin without a penny of borrowed money, has been presented to depositors.
