American Express Travelers Cheques
Deinition 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 bolder 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 Cheques was ao apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system.”
