21 January 1927 · The Daily Banner, Greencastle (United Press)
The town's press record and its bank record meet in one wire item. The Daily Banner of Greencastle, Friday, 21 January 1927 (Hoosier State Chronicles, OID TDB19270121-01), carries a United Press item datelined "LAKEVILLE, Ind., Jan. 21" under the headline "SECOND INDIANA BANK TO CEASE BUSINESS WITHIN WEEK." The copy is severely column-interleaved in the scan, and everything here stands at that strength. Deputy State Bank Commissioner Thomas D. Barr is in Lakeville investigating the Lakeville State Bank, which closed its doors the day before — 20 January 1927, agreeing this build's bank record — with capital of $47,300; Barr is investigating the local bank's connections with the North Liberty State Bank, which had closed earlier the same week; depositors in the North Liberty institution will not lose their money, he announced, and he made no definite statement regarding the local — the sentence is truncated by the interleaving and prints truncated. The item names the institution "Lakeville State Bank," and that dated 1927 form prints beside the bank record's standing name conflict (charter No. 516 carried as Farmers State Bank in one state table and as Lakeville State Bank in another) without dissolving it: a dated carrier is evidence for the register, not a merger of it. The item settles the bank file's press gap at OCR-interleaving strength; a clean re-read of a print copy remains the settler for the truncated final sentence only.
