My first reaction was, what is Ryan Stiles doing in a 1954 magazine ad?

I can't remember the last piece of clothing I purchased with a zipper. So, the question of "Doesn't everybody?" wouldn't apply to me.

Since when do people buy clothes based on the zipper? Perhaps when this ad ran, zipper quality was a major consideration, but I doubt it.
