It s a good piece of advice for Bob Simpson, too. A plant superintendent doesn f always get to keep regular hours, and can t always get to the bonk when the bonk is open. But Bob Simpson can always do his banking with First National Bank of Warsaw because he can use the 24-hour teller. Day or night, he con make deposits to savings or checking accounts; withdraw money from savings or checking; and even moke loan payments to the bank, if necessary. It s os simple os sliding a card in a slot and pushing a few buttons. It s fast. Its convenient. And it's a service of First National Bank of Warsaw. Is the 24-hour teller a good service?
