Quality

Quality by John Galsworthy

Quality, is one of the known story of Mr. Gessler,a German shoemaker who used to live in London. Mr. Gessler, was the person who was known as the best shoe maker in the town and he also used best leather. The Gessler Brothers shop was run by two brothers Gessler younger and Gessler older, who made beautiful boots. Their shoes are extremely durable because they were never ready to compromise with quality. They were people of skilled craftsmanship; hence their shoes were never worn out. Even though they made shoes of high quality but they did not have more takers, because they couldn't be able to make shoe or advertise their product to one and even to all. The Gessler brothers believed that the quality of their work, their boots would speak for themselves could not come round to thinking of selling something which he considered an art. It was with this value that the Gessler brothers maintained their tradition of making the best boots in town, quality and consistently, till their death, because they were not business guys but artist. So the story tells us the lives of traditional workers who had fought a losing war against the industrial revolution.
