Photograph of a cobbler's shop,  probably in the Visalia area.  Circa 1914.  On the wall to the left is a map with "Visalia Manufacturing Co."  printed at the top.   This company was in business from at least 1900 and into the 1910's.  Next to that is a poster for the Tulare County Press, a short lived newspaper that was based in Visalia.   The Tulare County Press started in 1912;  I've found no documentation that this newspaper existed after 1914.   On the same wall is an advertisement for Fatima Cigarettes featuring a professional baseball team.  Fatima had ads using baseball players as earlier as 1913 (e.g. Fatima baseball cards).

(Update, 1/19/15)  I am now fairly certain that this cobbler shop was located at 110 E Main St. in Visalia.   It appears to be the shoe repair business  formally owned by Abe Menendian.     Mr Menendian apparently sold his shop some time between 1910 and 1920,  and this is not him in my photograph.  

Close-up:

 From an old photo postcard.  Written on the back:  

'"Aug. 1913.  "A  rose between two thorns".  Theodor, Maude & JBM(?).  Taken at Lloyds Meadow on the trail to Mt. Whitney Calif."' 

Lloyd Meadows is 8 miles east of Camp Nelson, CA.

Apparently "Maude"  (the rose)  is the mule.

 Photo postcard from "Terra Bella,  Cal.",  circa 1920.    I'm not sure what type of  machine this is.   But judging from the circular piece in the foreground, I'm guessing that this was some sort of trench digger.

Another photo postcard.   This one circa 1910.  Across the middle of this card is written: "Shipping Melons  Dinuba Cal".   The building to the left is Dinuba's Southern Pacific Railroad station.  

Painted on one of these wagons is the name "R N Allen".    According to the 1910 US Census,  there was a Richard N. Allen living in the Dinuba area.   His occupation is listed as "Farmer".
