WORLD'S GREATEST TRAVEL SYSTEM.

American Express Travelers Cheques

Definition of TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES-

"The system of Traveliers Cheques was originated in 1801 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 currenty. The Company registered the choques under the trade name of 'AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVELERS' CHEQUES' the world "Travellers' being spelled with, ona "L" The advantage of the Chequm was so apparent that other banking institutions adopted the system."
