American Express Travelers Cheques
Dofuition 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 same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the choques under the trade Bams of AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS CHEQUES the World "Travellers' being spelled with ono "L" The advantage of the Choques was so apparent that other banking institutions adapted
the system."
