Until very recent times there were few regulations, governing quality of consumer goods. Manufacturers and merchants operated on the principle “Let the buyer beware”. Standards varied widely, both in terms of quality and quantity. This was particularly true on the textile trade. It was easy for manufacturers to mix mohair or mill waste with wool, then sell the product as “first quality”. At the same time they might reduce the width of his cloth to thirty-five or even thirty-four inches.
About 1850 leading English textile makers began a reform movement. They produced cloth which they guaranteed to be free of fillers and woven full measure. As a result _______________________________________ entered common speech as synonym for “genuine”.
b) Explain the meaning of the other idioms in the list.
