Looks like an auto parts store in the 1920s. Note the ad displays at the counter and on the wall for Gabriel Snubbers, Watson Stabilators, and Harve Stabilizers. These were all add on devices to minimize axle and steering shock and rebound when one side of a straight axle dropped into a big hole in the terrible and mostly unpaved roads of the day. These products weren't anything like the later shock absorbers that came into use but they were a popular aftermarket add on for many years. I think Watsons came as an OEM parts on some cars. And the tire chains on sale were likely for the muddy roads that everybody drove on instead of for snow like they later came to be known for.
