American Express. Travelers Chèques
Definition 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 some tinto the convenience of local earrency. The Company registered the chequee under the trade name of of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the word "Travellers' being spelled with one '1'. This advantage of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."

The people of Honam have no water system at all, all the water obtained from required being numerous wells and creeka; most, if not all, are of extremely doubt- ful purity. One well only, known as the "Tal Yuen" well, in Pao Kong, is supposed to contain water fit for consumption.
