Klonowski Savings was organized in 1913. The name was eventually changed to the Bank of Cleveland. Klonowski and his bank were instrumental in financing loans for the residents of the Broadway area of Cleveland. an area known then and now as "Little Warsaw." The loans enabled newly arrived Polish immigrants to purchase homes and to bring their families to this country. Klonowskis success was the product of hard work and perseverance. His story epitomizes the American Dream. which lured millions of immigrants to this country. Interestingly. much of what Klonowski learned in his life was not the result of formal education. although he did attend school in Poland and night school in this country. A good deal of his knowledge and success was attributable to reading books and magazines. which he poured over regularly and absorbed like a sponge.
