West Union Bank Closes Doors After Cashier Cites Loan Demand
The West Union private bank, founded in 1908, shuts its doors with assets about 346000 and liabilities around 43000. Cashier H F Wharton says extraordinary loan demand drained working capital, forcing closure though the bank had profitable days. The institution forms part of a chain linked to W Anderson of Indianapolis, amid broader speculation on loans and pending asset liquidation. Wharton expects 100 percent payout over time and aims to resolve affairs in months once harvests and loans stabilize.
