Bringing it all together, the Power of the Zipper

Picture
When you look up at that fabric sign hanging abve your booth on the trade show floor, what do you see? Stunning graphics? A cool shape? Your brand for all to see? How about something you don't see, something holding it all together ... the zipper. Recently, we celebrated the inventor of the zipper, Gideon Sundback was born in Sweden April 24, 1880. After completing his studies in
  Sweden and then in Germany, he emigrated to the United States in 1905, where he
  began working for Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company in
Pittsburgh.  Sundback was working on the zipper and in 1913 he invented the
first version  that wasn't based on the hook-and-eye system, so it was dubbed
the "Hookless  Fastener No. 1."

A year later Sundback reached the version with  interlocking teeth, which was essentially the modern zipper we still use today,  though the vernacular "zipper" was coined by B.F. Goodrich in 1923.
