Probably a recycling bin for something like scrap metal or cans, as this was during World War II. The banners over the street are great for dating - the 7th War Loan was from April 9 to July 7, 1945.

Try as I might, I have been unable to locate the street. None of my hits for Sears, Leed's shoe store of the Famous Dept Store seem to match up. I wish I knew what that sign said that has "XIME" in it.
