Crowds of passersby stop to read bulletin boards posted outside the Brockton Enterprise newspaper office, the paper's local daily, which in the early twentieth century was one of the main ways Massachusetts city residents followed breaking news. Bulletin boards like these were common in front of newspaper offices, where editors chalked up headlines or pinned up telegraph dispatches so people on foot could get the latest word without buying a paper. The Christmas board placement suggests the scene was taken during the holiday season, when people would have been especially eager for news from home and abroad.
