American automobile entrepreneur (1864-1948) who served as an executive in the automotive industry and played a major role in building up General Motors. Wonderful TLS signed “C. W. Nash,” two pages, 8.5 x 11, The Nash Motors Company letterhead, March 9, 1925. Letter to S. D. Green, in part: "I may say that I am very much interested, especially in young men, who are fitting themselves for a business life. I consider that the young men and women of today should be regarded as the backbone of America. It will be only a comparatively short time until these young men and women will take their places at the helm to guide the destinies of this great America of ours; and I feel that every man that has any influence should use it, as far as possible, along the line of encouraging the young men and women of today to properly fit themselves and live lives that will make them the leaders in America…There are a few fundamental things that each young man and woman should strive to do:—First: be strictly honest and honorable at all times. Next: be industrious and don't have a feeling that it is not elevating to work. Be clean in your daily living and in your habits. Go to church on Sundays regularly. Be economical in your living and in spending of your time and money. Always remember that a dollar saved is as good as two earned. Last but not least, remember that the 'dollar sign' is not the sign of success; and that every other young man and woman in America is just as good as you are, providing they are honest, clean and honorable." In fine condition, with a rusty paperclip impression to the top edge.
