Question

Read the passage given below :
When Levi Strauss sold his first pair of jeans, theywere not blue and they were not denim, He was 21, a recent immigrant from Bavaria, when he landed in San Francisco in 1850 with gold on his mind. His brother back East had stocked him with some dry goods and bolts of canvas, which young Levi intended to sell as tents and wagon tops. He wanted to raise cash to buy himself a claim in the gold digs. Legend has it that a single encounter with a disgruntled miner, changed his career. Eyeing the goods, the miner said he would have done better to bring pants. Pants were out quickly in the gold digs.
Very soon that miner had the toughest pair of brown canvas pants in the West. Soon other good prospectors came around looking for those pants of Levi's. Within a few years, he switched from canvas to French denim, reputed to be the strongest fabric in the world. He later added the indigo dye that puts the blue in the blue jean.
Meanwhile, Jacob Davis, a tailor in Nevada, came up with the idea of copper-riveted pockets. Miners kept loading ore into their pockets and ripping them out.
One day, after having repaired the same miner's pockets several times, the tailor sneaked off to the harness shop and reinforced the seams with rivets. Davis knew he had a good thing, so he went down to Strauss in San Francisco and the two men took out a patent on riveted pockets.
Strauss developed the first and largest garment-making business west at the Mississippi River. His reputation for probity and public spiritedness became a San Francisco legend. "You can buy Levi's for a dollar, but you can't buy Levi Strauss for a million dollars," it was said.
