Looks like they sold allsorts!

Lady Brand Varnish Paint Stains
31 shades of Fairy Dyes
Grip-fast

And to top it off a cracking advert for Camp Coffee on the wall next door!

This photo taken from Pinstone Street, shows a carrier and his lad waiting for custom, the tower in the background is part of the ventilation system of the Albert Hall, the smoking chimneys in the foreground belong to the Yorkshireman Arms, soon to be raised to the ground under a false pretext.
