Bank Survives Dreath and Depression Era Struggles
The account traces Brady area banks through the 1907 panic to the early 1930s crash. It notes cashier changes, capital increase in 1910, building plans completed by 1911, Federal Reserve entry in 1914, seed subsidies during drought, and farm woes with arsenic poisoning deals. It highlights the 1929 crash’s reach from New York to rural finance, unemployment, and shrinking deposits by 1932.
