1907 postcard - Nunnally's Candy Store, Memphis, Tennessee
"ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CANDY STORES IN AMERICA,
NOTED FOR ITS IMMACULATE CLEANLINESS,
67 S. Main Street, Memphis, Tenn."
It does look nice.
I'm guessing that big bowl of what appears to be eggs is for use in soda fountain drinks.

"Nunnally may not be a familiar name, but between 1884 and the mid-20th century, the Nunnally name was synonymous with candy. James Nunnally began Nunnally Candy Company, manufacturing and selling boxed chocolates in Atlanta. The Nunnally Candy Company produced five million pounds of candy a year and was known by the slogan 'the candy of the south.' The business expanded nationally, with 10 retail stores between Washington, D. C. and Dallas, Texas.
James Nunnally married Cora Winship, a cousin of the Coca-Cola Woodruff family. Combining his candy business with his Coca-Cola connections, he built Nunnally’s, a soda fountain on Peachtree Street facing Luckie Street. The soda fountain featured their own brand of root beer, other sodas, and frozen treats.
...
Nunnally Candy became a division of Fine Products Company in Augusta, Georgia in 1932 and continued to operate until 1978."
