American Express Travelers Cheques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—
"The system of Travellers Choques was originated in 1891 by the Americas 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 sains time the convenience of local carrency. "The Oompany registered the cheques ander the trade name of AMERICAN EXPRES TRAVELERS OHEQUES' the word "Travoltars' being spelled with one. The advant age of the Choques was so apparent that other banking institutions adople the system.
