State banks merge to avert Westphalia failure in Kansas
FDIC approved two loan guarantees totaling 277000 to merge the State Bank of Westphalia into Kansas State Bank of Garnett. Westphalia close to 80 miles from Kansas City faced failure amid farm loan troubles and outside-loans risk, with services to continue as a Garnett-Westphalia branch.
