Throngs of Christmas shoppers fill the street on Washington Street, Boston, 1919. There must have been some really excellent sales judging from the number of people; the sidewalks are so crowded that the shoppers are spilling out onto the street, blocking traffic.
On the right is a Jordan Marsh Department Store and farther up the street, on the left, is a store selling Manning’s Umbrellas. These umbrellas were manufactured according to a patent granted to J.T. Manning for a folding umbrella, and were all the rage in 1919.
