The building in the center is 602 W Herrick Ave, Wellington. N Mill St runs towards the top of the photo. Today the building on the right is Wellington Lawn and Garden.

Is that Miller's Grocery on the left? Orrin and Ivadel Miller were members of the Church of Christ (Christ Community Church) where I grew up going.

In the 1946 Wellington phone book Orrin Miller is listed at 604 W Herrick, to the left of the store. Miller's West End Grocery was listed at 516 W Herrick, which is the building across Mill St to the right.

I checked the old plat books and Orrin Miller bought the three lots to the left (west) of Mill St, along with the one on the right across Mill St in 1943. Then sold the one on the right (516 W Herrick) in 1955. So the store at 602 W Herrick may well have been Miller's Grocery after that.
