This piece is called “HobbyPop RoadShop” by Bruce McCall, from ~1957, from the book The Last Dream-o-Rama. Or so my research suggests. And of course, this post certainly doubles as a ‘retro-futurism’ posting, as well.

(unfortunately, that double-underscore (“__”) in the URL seems incompatible with PF’s image-insertion mode, or maybe I’m doing it wrong?)

Anyway, here’s a fun mini-article going in to more detail:
