Papers, mainly correspondence, financial records, and writings, of Henry Lightfoot Nunn, one of the founders of the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company and a pioneer in the development of good labor-management relations. Also included are genealogical materials, printed material, sound recordings, records of Nunn's participation in a mission in 1951 for the Economic Cooperation Administration, miscellaneous records of the Nunn-Bush Shoe Company, speech and lecture materials, scrapbooks relating to Nunn's vegetarian and religious philosophy, and a 16 mm film with background footage of breadlines and labor riots. The correspondence, which is informal and conversational in style, is primarily with Nunn's children, but it provides valuable insights into his personality and philosophy. Correspondents include family members, Preston Bradley, Stuart Chase, James Chenoweth, Clinton Golden, Maxey Jarman of the General Shoe Corporation, Senator John F. Kennedy, Allen W. Rucker, Adlai Stevenson, and Frank P. Zeidler. The writings included relate to his second book, Partners in Production, and include segments of an early draft and a book conference. Photographs consist primarily of family albums. Editorial cartoons, family ephemera, and photographs related to Nunn's business and other interests are also included. English
