    The Gessler Brothers were shoe makers who had their own shoe shop, bearing their German name, Gessler Brothers. They valued the quality of shoes over anything.

    The narrator used to go their shop from a young age with his father and seeing the unvarying boos in the window troubled him.

    When Mr. Gessler saw the narrator wearing boots not purchased from him, he said that those were not his boots.

After that, for the first time in front of the narrator, Mr. Gessler complained bitterly about the big firms who take away their work by advertisements and yet provided shoes of poor quality.
