repeated automatically in the 
years to come, because— 
the use of American Express

will save you from 
—financial worry when away 
from home 
—anxiety about your family 
when they are traveling 
and you are at home 
—loss or theft of your Travel 
Funds 
— embarrassing situations 
which arise from the use of 
personal checks
