Wallet Card with a newly-revealed old phone number

My eagle eye for old signs caught this in my town recently. A pawn shop closed, the sign got taken down and beneath it was an old phone number: RO 4-3495.

RO (Rockville Centre) numbers are common here as it is the nearest large town. There are still lots of numbers that start with 76. Looking online I couldn't find a ton of information about what was here. There may have been a glass business here in the 1970s (though it may have been the next building over) but that one had a different phone number. There was an electronics repair business with this number but it had a different address, though it's possible it had been here at some point.
