+ SPEED-Farmers Bank of the
State of Delaware has superseded
all Tellers known heretofore as Ex-
press, as Speed and have inaugur-
ated a Jet Teller.
For the past year, the Bank has
been studying the heavily increas-
ing load at the Teller's windows
and found the great majority of de-
. pOsits and checks were one or two
item transaction. Therefore, in the
rush times, it was necessary for
valued customers to stand in line,
taking their turn while a transac-
tiOn of payrOIls or wrapped coins
were taking place.
, The officers questioned, "What is
the fastest thing in the world?" OF
course, the jet plane travelling six
hundred miles an hour was their
! thought. So, transactions in a Sec
F. ond's time The plan has been so
successful that the bank customers
; praise it highly.
It was further found, that when
= a person comes into the Bank, they
; like to talk. to be greeted by a
How do you do?" of an Officer or
clerk. Thus. the fish bowl, or make
yOur-Own-change is not good Public
Relations. Today, at the Farmers
> Bank, very attractive young lady
smiles a welcome, ready to make
your change in a shorter period OF

it up in the fish bowl.
The Farmers Bank found that
they could not obtain a machine
which could greet a customer with
smile, saw Good morning" or
Thank you" in a personal way. The
Bank believes that this personal
feeling between Teller and Custom
er is more important than mere
business transaction and far eX-
ceeds any artificial or cafeteria
style idea Of banking. The solution
has been successfully solved bv the
Farmers Bank of the State Of Della
ware. They have inaugurated a Jet
Teller permanently.
