Even better 

 than money 



"A. B. A." Cheques are better 

 than actual money for the tra- 

 veler for several reasons: They 

 are more convenient to carry — 

 less bulky. They are safer, be- 

 cause no one can use them until 

 you have countersigned them. 

 Your countersignature on an 

 "A. B. A." Cheque in the pres- 

 ence of the person accepting the 

 cheque, is the only identification 

 required. 



They do not have to be changed 

 into another kind of money when 

 you go from one country into 

 another. They are like dollars 

 in the United States and Canada; 

 like pounds, shillings and pence 

 in the United Kingdom and the 

 British Colonies; like francs in 

 France, lire in Italy, and so on. 

 In other words they are accepted 

 internationally for payment of 

 goods and services — "The safest, 

 handiest travel funds." 



Get them at your bank, or write 

 Bankers Trust Company, New 

 York, for booklet and information 

 as to where they may be had in 

 your vicinity.
