Old phonebooks are a good resource. I don't know of any sites that have them. Maybe the historical society in the respective town?

I have heard of these places called "libraries" that have "books". Not sure what a library or a book is though...

yes but do they have books on individual businesses that existed 40+ years ago?

Check with the local Chamber of Commerce, or you can dig through Secretary of State corporation filings. Not sure how NYS is organized there, but always an option.
