Chestnut Street National Bank Fails in Philadelphia
Philadelphia December 2 Chestnut Street National Bank did not open for business this morning and closed its doors. The bank’s suspension came after a damning report of assets and liabilities and a decision by the bank examiner. The Chestnut Street Bank previously faced heavy losses from pulp and paper mill securities, shrinking deposits, and failed collateral. Debenture and state deposits are noted, with discussions of a potential later liquidation and the involvement of local banking interests to avoid failure.
