Mr. Whitcomb Judson was a really clever man. He invented a special train that was pushed along by air
and in 1893 he invented something like a zip (拉链) that could be used to open and close clothes. It could be
used on men's trousers and on ladies' dresses. He did not call his invention a 'zip' but everybody says that he
was the 'Father of the Zip'. Mr. Judson tried to sell his invention but no one wanted it because it did not work
very well. A Canadian changed Mr. Judson's invention and made it better. He made a zip that worked very
well in 1913.This is the same zip we use today.
