All the travelers checks you want—up to $5,000 worth—
for a fee of just $2^. At banks everywhere, during May only.
You can save real money by
buying First National City
Travelers Checks now for your
summer vacation trip. Read
how.
Normally travelers checks carry
a fee of a penny a dollar. It costs $1
for $100 worth of checks, $2 for
$200, $10 for $1,000, and so forth.
Now, during May only, you can
buy any amount you need — up to
$5,000 worth — for only $2, plus
the face value of the checks. You
could save up to $48. (For less than
$200 worth, of course, the fee is less
than $2.)
If you’re planning a trip to
Europe, what you save from this
offer could pay for an extra day on
the Rhine. Or dinner and Shake
speare at Stratford.
Or a patch of grass at the New
port Jazz Festival, if you’re staying
closer to home.
Welcomed everywhere
First National City Bank has
been in the travelers check busi
ness for 63 years. Our checks are
known and accepted in more than
a million places throughout the
world — airlines, car rental agen
cies, steamship lines, hotels, mo
tels, restaurants, stores, etc.
You can spend them as easily at
Le Drugstore as at the drugstore.
And they’re just as convenient on
a weekend trip as on a world tour.
Fast refund in case of loss
The greatest advantage of First
National City Travelers Checks is
that you get your money back
promptly if they’re lost or stolen.
We’ve built a security network of
25,000 banking offices around the
world where you can get lost
checks refunded fast. On the spot.
How do you find the nearest re
fund offices? In the Continental
U.S., call Western Union Operator
25. Abroad, we’ve supplied every
principal hotel with a list of the
nearest offices.
No wonder we’re called the
Maximum Security travelers check.
Buy now, travel later
Buy your travelers checks now
— at a saving — and use them later.
Many people, in fact, keep some
travelers checks on hand as insur
ance against the day when they may
need cash in an emergency.
Offer good only in U.S. and
Puerto Rico, May 1-31, 1967
Never before has such complete
protection for your cash been so
inexpensive. So act fast. Get your
summer supply of First National
City Travelers Checks now. They
can be bought at most banks and
savings institutions.
If your vacation money is in your
local bank and you won’t be home
until after May 31, you can still
take advantage of this offer. Just
mail this ad to your parents and ask
them to send your money to you.
Note to all banks and
savings institutions
During the month of May, we’re
making this unusual introductory
offer to your customers at no cost
to you. Your customer gets the sav
ing, but you earn your normal com
mission.
