Rare TLS from Charles Williams Nash. The letter was in response top a letter from a teacher of a school Mr. Green about how his students can succeed in business. Nash addresses the letter to the Students and goes into what he believes are the qualities for success.
In Part: "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 bave a feeling that it is not e1evating 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 s and that every other young man and woman in America is just as good as you are, providing they are honest, clean and honorable, notwithstanding the fact that they may have come from a lower walk of life. "Do unto others as you would like to be done by", and the future holds for you great success and happiness.
