At the corner of US Route 6 (Jackson Street) and Illinois Route 171 (Collins Street), the popular El Portico Bakery displays a statue of San José/St. Joseph by its front entrance.
Since San José/St. Joseph is the patron saint of the home, fathers, woodworkers and for good jobs, I assume his presence in front of a bakery is for a blessing of a good job.
