Coffee shops were so popular in the 1950s and 1960s that wealthier retailers decided to advertise their products on posters and trays such as the one seen here. Often, popular actresses or models of the period graced these advertisements to tempt customers into spending more. This plate depicts the star Lucilla Ming Yu, advertising the goldsmith business Meng Heng Goldsmith.
