“It’s just such a beautiful place,” Superior Glove president Tony Geng said of Point Leamington in a recent interview.“Anything that we can do to keep it more alive and attract other people to it, I think is a cool thing.” They came from the collection of Sydney Guilaroff, the famed Hollywood hairstylist who created Vivien Leigh’s looks in “Gone With the Wind,” Tammy Fudge explained as she provided a tour last month.
Headquartered in Acton, Ont., Superior Glove specializes in industrial gloves and sleeves, built to protect workers from blades, fire and cold. They make a glove for SpaceX. At one point, the company furnished the Canadian Army with trigger mitts like the one worn by Presley, Geng said.
