ON this date in 1938 - Du Pont announced "nylon" as the new name for its new synthetic yarn.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple were actually door-to-door nylon stockings salesmen for a time until some bogus husband, also the DuPont President at the time, came home in the middle of a home demonstration and ruined the timing of the 'sale'.

No problem, they escaped through one of their portals.
