WORLD' 6 GREATEST TRAVEL SYSTEM

American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

649

"The system of Travellers Cheques was originated in 1881 by the American Express Company with the object of creating a form of travel currancy which would give the holder the security of letter of credit and at the same time the convenience of local currency. The Company registered the cheques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES the world "Travellers' being spelled with one "L" The advantage of the Choques was no apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
