Gessler Brothers
• The shop had a certain quiet distinctions. There 
was no sign upon it other than the name GESSLER 
BROTHERS and in the window a few pairs of 
boots.
? Gesslers, German immigrants, genuinely passionate 
and dedicated Boot Makers, made boots only on 
orders. They are poor, belonging to lower stratum.
? What he made never failed to fit. Since his boots 
lasted terribly, the author was not possible to go 
that shop very often.
