Madison National Bank
passes $100 million in
assets-with a lithe help
from their friends.

THE DETROIT J EWISH NEWS

While many banks have
grown through mergers and
acquisitions, Tom Winn,
President of Madison
National Bank, likes to say
his bank has grown "the old
fashioned way—one
customer at a time."
It's a formula that has
worked well for the bank
and the communities they
Serve. In 1991, the bank
added its first branch office
outside Madison Heights,
in Farmington Hills. And
last fall, Madison Bank
passed the $100 million
mark in assets. The first
thing they did was thank
their customers. Norman
Fill, Chairman of
Madison's Board of
Directors says: "We built
our bank to meet the needs
of our neighbors and local
businesses—and they've
responded by bringing their
banking business to us. We
owe our growth and success
to them."
The feeling is mutual.
Customer after customer
boasts about the personal
treatment they receive from
Madison Bank. Dave
Stapels of Brothers
Industries says: "My officer
at Madison Bank has gotten
to know us. She

NIBBLES & NUTS

understands our financial
needs and tends to them."
Loren Quimet who, with
his brother Richard own
and operate Nova
Computer says: "We've
dealt with Madison Bank
for over five years. They
know how to take care of
our problems and service
our account." And owner of
Mohawk Furniture, Akram
Allos, stated: "They give
you personal attention and
call you by name... the
receptionist knows my
name as soon as I say
`hello' on the telephone.
Does that tell you anything

about this bank?"
The next time you hear
someone claim that "old-
fashioned, personal service
died out years ago," suggest
they visit an office of
Madison National Bank.
Pour a cup of coffee from
the pot they keep brewing
in the lobby. And watch the

way the bank staff and
officers treat their
customers. It's proof that
personal service is alive and
well. It can be very
successful.
If you'd like this kind of
treatment from your bank,
