SAFETY
and
SERVICE
Un-asiness about the safety or the spendability of your funds need not mar your journey if you are carrying them in the form of American Express Travelers Cheques, as you are protected by the refund feature in case of loss or theft.
And in Addition-each American Express Travelers Cheque or Letter of Credit is an introduction to American Express travel offices throughout the world-little cases away from home where the traveler meots fellow travelers, gets his mail, and finds helpful guidance in unfamiliar places. No matter where these Cheques are bought, whoever buys them is entitled to all American Express facilities. In addition to protecting the funds of travelers, American Express service makes journaye more pleasant and carefree through its uniformed interpreters and through its international corps of trained travel men.
