I'm pretty sure the sign says "Chapman's" with "The Big Cone" above.

The company seems to have expanded quickly around the time of the photograph. Here are the City Directory entries from 1929 and 1932. I'm not sure where you'd find "The Big Cone".

There was one in Fullerton on Spadra Road. There is a picture on the Pacific Electric Railway Historical Society website which shows the cone building and says that it was taken on May 2, 1937. The site says that Spadra Road is now Harbor Blvd. A comment made on June 23, 2014 indicates that it was located at 900 Spadra Road and at that time, according to the woman who posted the comment, was called " Helen's Ice Cream" and "The Big Cone"
