OUR JUNE BRIDE LAUNCHES FORTH ON THE SEA OF MATRIMONY
by L. F. Van Zelm
Published in the Larchmonter-Times, 1922
By Ned Benton
During 1922, the Larchmonter-Times published a series of cartoons by L. F. Van Zelm. The cartoons featured local merchants, advertising their stores, and lampooning local residents. Larchmonters today may recognize the names of relatives. The fourth cartoon focuses on the marriage of Mr. and Mrs Sid Doherty. Local residents are depicted giving them a vigorous send-off.
Tom Mandeville drives the local taxi, perhaps in the direction of the train station.
