The Yonkers Board of Trade. The Yonkers Board of Trade was organized in 1893, with William F. Cochran as its first President. He was succeeded in 1895 by Edwin K. Martin, who has retained the Presidency since that time. The other officers are: Philip Verplanck, First Vice–President; John Bellows, Second Vice–President; William H. Doty, Treasurer, and George Rayner, Secretary. The objects of the Board are to direct attention to the attractive features of the city as a place of residence, and its unequaled advantages for manufactories. At the Board meetings opportunities are offered to discuss questions of public import, to oppose all ill–considered public improvements, and to further the best interests of the city. The Board Room is centrally located in the Copcutt Building, No. 15 Warburton Avenue, where the Secretary, George Rayner, is in attendance daily from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M. Visitors are always welcome, and correspondence from home–seekers or manufacturers will receive prompt attention.
