Business, industrial and professional success in America,

in general, and in Detroit, in particular. ha.: been built

and has prospered on its adaptability.

Know-how is important, vitally important, in banking

as in production, but know-how without adaptability can

be as misleading as adaptability without know-how.

Many factors hay e been responsible for the increasing

success and leadership of this bank. One of the most

important factors has been our ability to adapt our

policies and our resources to changing conditions, that

we may, in the fullest possible sense, continue to be

aggressive, thoroughly informed, business allies to our

constantly increasing number of customers.
