Z.I.P. Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Only problem with Terry's story is, it was B.F. Goodrich, not Goodyear which sold the Zipper. Right? Quote
Zipsrifle Posted July 7, 2008 Report Posted July 7, 2008 Yep! Actually, prior to BF Goodrich, a "Zipper" was known as a "Hookless Fastener". I believe the name "Zipper" was given to it by some big wig at BFG because they needed a catchy name to sell the product. Quote
