CHECKS FOR TRAVELLERS.
The American Express Company's Plan
for Drawing Money Abroad.


for Drawing Money Abroad.
The American Express Company is in
PRODUCING a system that will make it easy
ior travellers in foreign countries to get
money without being identified and
put 10 other Inconvenience. 1t is in
tended to do away with the letter of
credit, which has served its day
of usefulness. The company is issuing what
il calls Travellers cheques. The limit of
each book is $1,000, and persons can buy IS
many as they please. The checkss run from
SO 10 500, and will be accepted for hotel
bills and other expenses without being
caShed, or the money can be had for them in
any place in Europe. The rate charged
is one-fOurth of l per cent which
is cheaper than the letter of credit, and
avoids the loss in exchange in going from
place to place Before starting for Europe
the buyer writes his name on the upper
margin Of each check, and all the identified
ZION needed ON the other side is the similar
itv of the signature. There is a place on
the lower margin for the name, and this
must be signed to make the check good.
NJ f. Valiant, the Pittsburg agent, said
the company had located agents in all the
principal towns and cities in the British
Isles and on the Continent. The traveller
Is PToNlleQ Win lltIle DOOk showing the
location of all the Offices In addition a
letter of introduction is given at the home
Office, and this makes it pleasant for people
in a strange place. The agent feels that he
knows his man, and is expected to look
after his interests. On each check the
ValUe of the amount in the money of the
various countries is placed, and this makes
il easy for 4 traveller who is not familiar
with foreign exchange values If any of
the cchecks are not used the money will be
refunded. Mr. valiant says the system
has been in operation only q few
davs. but the results are satisfac-
tory. The company assumes the risk of
forgery but there is little chance for cheat
i1- 20 be done. He claims the checks will
he good as cash anywhere. Only those
who have Travelled much know how trouble
some il is sometimes 20 draw money on
letter of credit. Men have been compelled
Z" wait in = town several davs until the
banks had made the proper inquiries
