A window full of Hop Ching posters and decorations makes this one stand out from the other holiday scenes on the board, since the advertising and ornaments are the main subject rather than the shoppers or the street. Holiday window displays were a major way merchants drew customers in the weeks before Christmas, and a shop's posters and hanging decorations often told passersby as much about its trade as any sign did. Chinese-owned businesses in American cities frequently mixed their own graphic style with the seasonal goods they sold, which gives scenes like this one a particular visual character. Look closely at the lettering and the arrangement of the posters to see how the window was designed to catch the eye of people on the sidewalk.
