'Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES--
"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1891 by the American Expro 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' The advant OUEQUES the word "Travellers' being spelled with one '1', age of the Cheques was no appent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
