JUST BEFORE TRAIN TIME AT THE LARCHMONT DEPOT
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 tenth cartoon depicted the train station just before "train time." During 1922, local commuters complained about The Toonerville Trolleys that temporarily replaced more substantial cars on the New Rochelle to Larchmont connection.
