American Express Travelers Cheques
Deânition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—
"The system of Travellers' Cheques 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 convenience 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 ad antage, of the Chequens was so apparent that other banking institutiona adopted the systein."
Quoted from Pitman's Dictionary of Banking by Wm. Thomson.
