Looking at the pictures and seeing ads for photo developing and pipes and tobacco I couldn't help thinking of early drug stores and then "Eaton The Druggist" popped into my mind. I googled it and found that Ray Eaton, a pharmacist, bought the Woodbeck Drug Store in 1910. It was a Rexall drug store located at 103 - 105 Farmer St. in Otsego, Michigan and was the first of the "Eaton the Druggist" chain.
So, maybe he sold sporting goods too . . . ?
That 28 ga. "Woodcock Gun" looks to have checkered cheeks too. The highlights on the side of the frame are probably not gold dogs and birds as I first thought.
