After seeing Godzilla's "Edison lighting potpourri", I expanded my search to the Huntington Digital Library where I found the original image. The description is brief, but it does contain a rough location:

"Commercial Lighting - bowling alley - Pomona - exterior."

It looks like ancestry.com has some Pomona City Directories, but I don't have a subscription.

Here's that "Turkey Shoot" sign that I mentioned in my first follow-up.

This image is also credited to Doug White, so, given the similar description ("Commercial Lighting - bowling alley - Pomona - interior, people bowling."), I'd say it's likely to be the interior of the building above.

Thanks HossC for tracking that down. And I think I need to do a Learning Annex Weekend Workshop in navigating through sites like the HDL. I never seem to get anywhere with those. I bet that place stood out in the Pomona night sky.
