HAPPY NATIONAL ZIPPER DAY!!!
National Zipper Day is observed each year on April 29th. This day celebrates something that we often do not think about and just automatically take for granted. It was first in 1851 that Elias Howe, the inventor of the sewing machine, received a patent for an “Automatic, Continuous Clothing Closure”. Howe never made an attempt to market his invention and missed the recognition he may have received

It’s National Zipper Day, which honors this ingenious device invented in the late 1800s. By the 1930s, zippers had many uses—even as side fasteners on women’s underpants. The zipper on these novelty panties, however, has an unusual feature: a small padlock is attached to playfully emphasize the embroidered message, “No No a Thousand Times No.”

"No! No! A Thousand Times No!" was the title of a 1934 melodramatic song and a 1935 film starring Betty Boop.
