American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS CHEQUIE-
"The stem of Travelles Choczas was originated in 1891. by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the same time the convenienos of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES** the word 'Travellers' being spelled with one "1". The advantage. of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
