Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES—

"The system of Travellers Choques was originated in 1891 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form travel currency which would give the holder the security of a etter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade namo of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellera' being spelled with ona "L" The advantage of the Cheques was no apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
