(Arnold is out of the country on business at time of photo shoot) Photo of curling brooms. Photos for a two-page Sunday Special, touching on the 40th anniversary of Asham Curling Supplies, one of a handful of dedicated curling stores in the country, maybe the world! Arnold Asham started the biz by making sliders for curlers' shoes in the basement of his home; demand was such that he opened a retail location in 1980 and has been a trend-setter in the sport ever since, coming out with new designs for shoes, brooms, etc. Reporter: David Sanderson Jan 3rd, 2020
