THE VILLAGE BELLE CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY HER CAR WON'T RUN.
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 seventh cartoon feature the problem on an unnamed "Village Belle" who does not drive well.
The cartoon shows the path that her car traveled, including several sidewalk curbs. The part of the cartoon also shows overhead wires which had recently been installed. During 1922, local businesspeople called a meeting to file Complaints About the Overhead Wires.
