Adlers
If you look at the top of the building above the window you can see what appears to be part of the letter A.

I remember very distinctly as a child, this view of the store window. I believe that is Main Street at the closest cross street being Pettycoat Lane. I agree with the comment that it was probably Adlers on Main, on the East side of the street with southbound traffic.
Re: This photo
If it were on the East side of Main near Petticoat, the sidewalk would slope to the left, not the right.
Late 40s
The long, full dresses and the manikins' hairstyles suggest late 1940s -- probably about 1948.
Late 40s
Skirts got longer after the war. What year did the hem lines go down?
Montogomery Foto
Note the "Montgomery Foto, KC." Store is almost definitely in Kansas City, then.
National Wine Week was in
National Wine Week was in October beginning in 1939.
window display
Since the picture shows and inclined sidewalk it appears that this street is 9th or 10th street, going east, probably between Main and Grand. I don't recognize the architectural ornament above the window but it could be on the south side of one of those streets. The fashions appear to be the late 40s or early 50s.
This might be the store
This might be the store ADLERS.
