F1 1 , st National Company, a SI ,•
06'0,000 Investment Organization.

Leo M. Butzel, of the law firm of
Stevenson, Carpenter, Butzel and
Ilafkus, has been made president of
the First National Company, formed
by the directors of the First and Old
Detroit National Bank, to engage in
general corporate and municipal
financing and trading in investment
securities. The other officers are:
vice-president, William J. Gray, who
also is vice-president of the First and
Old Detroit National Bank; vice-
president, J. H. Simpson, formerly
manager of the bond department of

financial institutions and prominent
industries. He has been connected
with the First and Old Detroit Na-

Home Savings Bank, the Security
Trust Company, Bankers' Trust Com-
pany, and the Industrial Morris Plan

craft Club, Detroit Golf, Detroit
Motor Boat, Detroit Yacht Club. He
also belongs to the Temple Beth El
and to the Lotos Club of New York
City.
"Formation of the First National
Company," says Mr. Butzel, "is the
latest step in the general recognition
of the tremendous financial and in-
dustrial importance of Detroit, and,
perhaps, may be said to mark the
emergence of Detroit from depend-
ence on other financial centers, so far
as concerns the financing of new
issues of securities."
"We are gratified to be able to an-
nounce Mr. Butzel as the president
of the company," saj:s Emory \V.
Clark, president of the First and Old
Detroit National Bank. "We are
pleased, too, that his efforts will be
supplemented by such a strong or-
ganization as has been assembled.
The formation of this company is not
only a further recognition of Detroit
as a great financial center, but is also
recognition of the fact that the in-
dustrial enterprises of this section are
of such magnitude as to require the
direct attention of the most capable
organization of financial experts it is
possible to assemble."

The Jewish community of Detroit

Hill Freidenberg, widow of Rudolph
Freidenberg, who passed away sud-
