Your Signature Is Good 
Around the World on 
American Express Travelers 
Cheques 
For Thirty 
years travelers have paid their hotel bills in 
Singapore, or Chicago, purchased silks i" 
Japan, clothing in England and souvenirs in 
France, bought transportation all over the 
world and paid for all their travel require¬ 
ments with American Express Travelers 
Cheques. 
The Advantages 
of carrying Travelers Cheques in place of 
currency are self-evident. Currency requires 
constant care to prevent loss or theft and 
must be changed into the money of the 
countries visited. Travelers Cheques are 
spendable everywhere and are only of use 
when countersigned by the original pur¬ 
chaser. Your own signature is the only 
identification required and this simple sys¬ 
tem applies throughout the world. 
Fifty Cents 
on each one hundred dollars is the cost of 
insuring the safety of your travel funds, 
making them available everywhere and per¬ 
mitting you to make our world-wide chain 
of offices your social and business head¬ 
quarters. 
We Recommend 
Pound Sterling Cheques issued in amounts 
of 5 and 10 pounds, for use in Great Britain 
and the British Colonies. French Franc 
Cheques in amounts of 200 and 400 francs in 
France and its colonies. Dollar Cheques for 
use in Europe (outside of Great Britain and 
France), North and South America, the 
West Indies and the Orient. 
Purchasable 
at Banks and Express Offices. 
Letters of Credit 
American Express Letters of Credit are 
convertible into Travelers Cheques or cur¬ 
rency.
