American Savings&Loan Acquires
Assets of Service & Loan Association

American Savings & Loan Asso-
ciation of Detroit, Michigan's larg-
est state-chartered savings and
loan institution, has agreed to
acquire the assets and good will
of Service Savings & Loan Asso-
ciation of Detroit. A merger plan
of the two associations has been
approved by the officers and di-
rectors of both institutions.
The announcement was made
Wednesday by Alfred L. Deutsch,
president of American Savings, and
Kenneth G. Wigle, president of

Service Savings.

Wigle and Deutsch explained
that the actual merger would not
become official until approved at
membership meetings of both asso-
ciations, which will be held June
28 and July 5, respectively.
Deutsch and Wigle both said
that they were confident the mer-
ger would receive "overwhelming,
if not unanimous endorsement" of
their members.
American Savings and Loan
Association has assets of $176,000,-
000, and Service Savings reported
in excess of $11,500,000 in assets.
Service Savings & Loan Associa-
tion, said Deutsch and Wigle, will
be absorbed and none of its offi-

Do you remember the Book-Cadillac

Hotel? It was the biggest and the
best old hotel in Detroit. The
Sheraton Corporation bought it
because it was the biggest and
the best. They tore it up be-
cause it was old. They re-
decorated all the guest
rooms. In fact, the redecorating
was started in 1951, and they're still
at it. Keeping 1200 rooms up to Sheraton
standards is a constant job. An award win-
ning chef was hired, and his kitchens were convenienced-
up. The old Motor Bar was torn up and made older. That is,
they turned the industrial motif into the warmth and friend-
liness of an old English pub. Warmth that came from antiques,
wood paneling, thick carpets and plank top tables. Then, for
contrast, they went upstairs and changed the smoky old
Boulevard Lounge into the intimate Cafe Caprice. This
modernization of the old Book-Cadillac goes on every day in
every part of the hotel in order to keep pace with our dynamic
city and the people that make it that way. In fact, if the pace of
Detroit keeps quickening, who knows, someday we may have
to overhaul the old "Cadillac." Respectfully, the Sheraton-
Cadillac, Detroit's largest, most accommodating hotel.

cers will continue as officers of
American Savings & Loan Associa-
tion. All Service Savings em-
ployees, Deutsch added, would be
retained by American.
The merger will increase the
assets of American Savings & Loan
Association to more than $187,000,-
000 and raise it in rank nationally
from 72nd to one of the country's
60 largest savings and loan insti-
tutions. There are some 6500 such
banks in the United States.
Service Savings & Loan Associa-
tion's two offices—at 3078 West
Grand Blvd., and 7719 West Vernor
Highway, after approval of the
merger plan, will operate as
American Savings and Loan
branches.
With these branch additions,
American will have 15 offices in
the Detroit metropolitan area. Its
main office is at 600 Woodward
and its present branches are at
12246 Dexter, 6060 W. Fort St.,
19100 Livernois, 19040 Van Dyke,
13700 Nine Mile, 14114 Telegraph,
6524 Telegraph, 1305 W. 14 Mile,
22401 W. Eight Mile, 19080 E. Ten
Mile, 25177 Greenfield, and 31555
13 Mile.
Since its founding in July of
1947, American Savings has sur-
passed in size all but two of the
72 savings and loans operating in
Michigan under federal charter
and is first among the state-
chartered savings and loans.
American Savings, earlier this
year, announced the construction
and projected openings of three
new branch offices in 1966. A
further expansion of the branch
setup, in addition to the branches
added by the merger plan, is being
contemplated, Deutsch said today.
The American Savings staff now
numbers more than 200.
"The uniting of these two asso-
ciations has been due in great part
to the efforts of our executive vice
president, George M. Zeltzer," said
Deutsch, "as will be the consumma-
tion of the myriad details always
involved in such a merger."
American's savings totals, as
reported in their financial state-
ment of Dec. 31, 1965, stood at
$153,468,225.33.
