A Toshiba electric appliances store in Tokyo, Japan.
This logo was given up in 1969 after they found that it could be read as "Joshiba".

The Toshiba logo was used from 1950 to 1969 (according to Wikipedia Japanese edtion), so the store front is at least 40 years old, so is the boy.
See also drichi2006's HITACHI store photo. The store front is from the same era.

The kanji here, 越, reads "koshi" and this is their old logo. Here is a scan of their advert in the 1870s or 1880s, on which you can see the same logo.
