In the late 1800s, new technology made window glass cheap and sturdy. Stores took advantage of this by installing big windows and filling them with merchandise on offer -- something they still do today! During the holiday season, stores competed with each other to make the most spectacular window display. They could include lights, life-size models, and even moving parts!
