Oldest Scotts Bluff bank closes voluntarily
The Irrigators bank of Scottsbluff shut its doors Wednesday forenoon in a voluntary action. President J. H Casselman says no depositor will lose a cent. The bank, oldest of three in the city, operated since 1900 after starting in Gering, moved with the railroad, andCasselman explains the bank never overdrawn its account while noting light bad loans. A delay in asset realization and sugar beet market deposits will ease the impact.
