SATURDAY AFTERNOON IS THE BUSY SHOPPING TIME IN LARCHMONT
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 ninth cartoon depicted the business district on a Saturday afternoon.
