Question

What is the significance of the title? To whom or to what does it refer?

Answer 1

The title refers to the great quality boots Mr Gessler made. It is an ideal title for the lesson. It refers to the business practices followed these days where no one cares about quality.

For Mr Gessler, quality was of optimum significance. He worked for long hours, didn't allow anyone else to touch his boots. He lost on business, was spending days in poverty still the man didn't compromise on quality.
