Please help in dating this photo.  I've searched for the dates that Thompson was in business and have not found anything!

Thanks

I don't hold the photos, so I'll have to wait until it's done and emailed to me.

I've had no luck in dating the time Thompson was in business.

Hi,

I found a listing for him in the Lain directory of Brooklyn, 1897 - at this address.   He is Chas. A. Thompson.

Here are some links to other New York City directories.  You might find him here:
