TEXT	Though Mr. Tompkins does a very large business in the sale of ready-made shoes, his specialty is in the manufacture of custom-made goods, and such has become his reputation in this latter branch of industry that he is patronized by many of the most fashionable gentlemen in the city. His establishment at No. 144 Bowery has become so popular that he had to relinquish the establishment at No. 1853 Third Avenue, which was doing a large and increasing business. His stock is of the very best and most durable boots, shoes and gaiters, which are sold at prices that absolutely defy competition. The Bowery establishment is particularly popular, the front portion being devoted to the display of ready-made goods and the rear used for the manufacture of hand-made and custom goods. Mr. Tompkins sees to it that his customers get only goods which in every respect comes up to the high standard of excellence which this conscientious dealer insists upon in all his dealings, and to his custom-made goods they are perfection itself, both in fit and finish, as well as the material which he invariably uses.
