American Express Travelers Chèques
Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-
"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1801 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form travel currency which would give the holder the security of a letter of credit and at the samo time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade CHEQUES of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS the word "Travellers' being spelled with one "1" This advantag of the Cheques was so apparent that other banking Institutions adopted the system."

DEATH.
MR. F. F. ECA DA SILVA - PASSES AWAY. ·

The late Mr. Silva has been in the employ of Messrs. David Sas- soon and Co. Ltd, for about thirty years and is a respected momber of the Portuguese community. He was only 47 years of age.
Much sympathy will be felt for his widow and daughter (Mrs. F. H. Mody) in their sad bereave ment. Mr. Silva had an attack of typhoid fever last year and although he recovered from it, his health had since been very dis- couraging. Within the past few months it was generally felt that ho was slowly sinking.
