FAIRFAX BANK FAILS
TO OPEN ITS DOORS
Fairfax, S. D., July 9.—The Gregory
County State bank here failed to open
its doors this morning. Depleted re
serves were announced as the cause for
closing the institution. The bank had
a capital of $50,000 and deposits of six
or seven hundred thousand, with as
sets about equal, including a new $60,
000 building. The bank was con
sidered one of the strongest country
banks in the state.
It was organized in 1902 and was
later purchased by Judge Starcher?
who in turn sold his interest to Frank
Woods and D. E. Coffey, Coffey bought
Mr. Woods’ interest and has been
president of the institution for the last
two years.
It is thought that the loss, if any,
will be small, as it is said that the
bank has been very efficiently man
aged and has had a steady 'growth
until the last year.
