These measures were taken to ensure that consumers would be guaranteed that their products were of high quality.

Famous quotes containing the word measures:

    Away with the cant of “Measures, not men!”Mthe idle supposition that it is the harness and not the horses that draw the chariot along. No, Sir, if the comparison must be made, if the distinction must be taken, men are everything, measures comparatively nothing.
    George Canning (1770–1827)
