TRAVELLERS' CHEQUES

. . And another thing : American Express travellers' cheques are accepted all over the United States by restaurants, shops and railway booking offices as if they were legal tender. This can be- a great convenience. In contrast, cheques issued by British banks are cashed only by American banks, and even their branch offices are often reluctant to take the 'risk.'
