National City Bank / 国民城市银行
National City Bank appears in 170.《1929》的泡沫之夏：三个代表人物，和他们在当下周期的影子 as Charles E. Mitchell / 查理·米切尔’s institution and as a predecessor context for modern Citibank. The episode uses the bank’s retail network and securities-distribution activity to show how ordinary depositors or savers can be moved toward stocks, bonds, and foreign debt through a trusted financial brand.
In the wiki, National City Bank anchors the historical side of Financial Institution Trust Transmission / 金融机构信任传导. The source’s point is not only that a bank sold risky securities; it is that a trusted institution can suppress internal research concerns, frame financial innovation as access, and make risk travel from professional markets into household portfolios.
