This is definitely not the 1930’s, more like the late 1950’s; maybe around 1957 or so. LPS were not introduced on the market until 1948-49, and the LPS in the bins include 50’s performers like Les Paul & Mary Ford, Stan Kenton, and Andy Griffith.

  Griffith’s comedy album, “What It Was, Was Football” is visible in the bin closest to the camera; and there appears to be 45rpm records in the Columbia “Hall Of Fame” display and in the racks furthest to the rear of the store.
