Hard Times - 1933
—Cherokee-Lemp Historic District —
One-third of the American workforce was unemployed. In January of 1933, anxiety about the economy led to panicked withdrawals from the banks. The anxiety grew into frenzy, and the withdrawals turned into a run on the banks. Banks all over St. Louis had to shut their doors. People feared reading the morning paper, afraid that it might report that the latest run on the banks had erased their savings.HM Number | HM2C7I |
