American Express Travelers Cheques.
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-
"The system if Travelers Cheques was criginsled in 1893 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 chequea unior the tracio nome of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the word Travellers' being spelled with one. The advant age of the Cheques was no appitzent that other banking institutions adopted the syslexa."
