The zipper is a wonderful invention. They are very common so we forget that they are wonderful. They are strong, but they open and close very easily. They come in many colors and sizes. In 1810s, people in the US wore high shoes or clothes with long row of buttons. It was hard for them to wear anything. They wanted an easier way to put on and take off clothes. White comb Judson invented the first zipper in 1839. He called it a slide fastener.
