Let's see, I think I can identify some of these covers. :)
So far I've got...
Tip Top Comics #47 (March, 1940)
Superman #3 (Winter, 1939)
Blue Beetle #2 (May-June, 1940)
... I was looking for that first "Ella" cover, but it doesn't seem to match any of the covers in the GCD so far (that have series start dates around that period).

Ha ha!!!
Looks like there are TWO copies of Super Comics #20 from January, 1940!
So, it seems rather true IMO... those old syndicated comic strip character's popularity did translate into comic book sales.
EDIT: Or perhaps now that I think about it... maybe not. If this is indeed an actual photo from the period (and these books were taken off the racks for the purpose of staging it), then perhaps there are duplicate copies of Super Comics #20 simply because there were more issues laying around unsold at the newsstand.
Guess I can't draw any conclusions on one piece of circumstantial evidence.

Some more...
Adventure Comics #40 (July, 1939)
Adventure Comics #49 (April, 1940)
Science Comics #3 (April, 1940)
WonderWorld Comics #9 (January, 1940)
... and I think Marvel Comics #1 (Nov, 1939). It was the only title from Marvel that fit, but I'm not completely convinced. :)

Thanks DL.
I actually posted a LOT of such photos back on GAC before the split.
