An image of  Tulare's Carnegie Library, circa 1911.   The photo is by  Howard Clinton Tibbitts.    This is a scan from the glass negative.           Built in 1905,  it served as a public library until 1963.     It was torn down in 1970.
A couple close-ups:



An old photo postcard of the Paige Store, circa 1910.
Paige was a small community about 4 miles SW of Tulare.    Paige is still listed on Google Maps, though there isn't much there anymore.     It was near the corner of Road 68 and Ave 216 (Paige Avenue).
The proprietor , W.T. Kneen, is listed in the 1910 Tulare County directory as a "postmaster and gen msde".   There are about 50 listings for the town of Paige in that directory.
