The eBay description is "... a newsstand in Los Angeles / possibly Hollywood." It looks like name of the store is written "National Drug Co." In the 1930 city directory, under Druggists-Retail, the closest thing is National Cut Price Drug Stores Inc 223 S Main, which is now a parking lot across from St. Vibiana's.

UPDATE


It looks like the National Drug Company appears in the Our Gang short A Lad An' A Lamp: https://ourgang.fandom.com/wiki/National_Drug_Company for about 1 second at 16:35. Do you think that object on the left side of the uncropped photo is a filming light? Is that a boom microphone at the top center, and its shadow at the bottom?
