American Express Travelers Chèques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

The system of Travellere 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 latter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques ondor the trade name of of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the word Travellers' being spoiled with one . This advantage of the Choques was so apparent that other barking institutions adopted the system,”

"You know, it is a marvel in organization how a fleet of 17 immense President Liners can be handled with such efficiency and positive dependability! One week a President sails for Victoria, B. C. and Seattle via the Short Ronte, and the next week one to San Francisco and Los Angeles via Honolulu. Every two weeks a President sails for the Straits, Colombo, via Suex to the Mediterranean, direct to New York, Boston and California. And every few days one of them sails Interport. That's what I call real steamship service."
