The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-06
In New York
BY PAUL HARRISON

New York-Comes any kind of revolution, anywhere, and the broth CTS Frank and David Zimmerman, who run what looks like a mar tial antique shop on lower Fifth avenue, will know all about it.
 Chances are that before the news breaks, or a shot is fired, the Ban- nermans will have met emissaries of either the revolutionary party or the defending government. For 70 year now, they and their father before them have been outfitting armies, complete from heavy ar tillery to gold epaulettes. They're the worlds largest dealers in mill itary goods. Just to give you an idea: at the outbreak of the Rus sian-Japanese war Bannerman's off, fered Japan 10000 saddles, 100000 each of rifles, full sets of infantry equipment and new khaki uniforms, 20,000,000 cartridges, and whole ship load of artillery and such.

For Movie "Shots'
 Today the brothers tour Europe, buying up old armor, dueling pis- tols. spears and such. They do a lot of business with movie companies, and stand ready to outfit an army of extras for the First Crusade or the war of the future. They even have supply of bronze swords from early Roman times. Their old est cannon is an iron barrel en- cased in a wooden log.
 Anybody can go into Banner mans and snoop as long as he likes. The building is large and dark and dusty. Cutlasses and mus ketoons, Congo spears and South Sea war clubs, fiintlocks scores of tattered battle fiags-all tell of high adventure and musty, lusty glories. Even if you're a pacifist, I recommend 1t. Some day it may be museum of an obsolete art.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-06

Death and Decoration
 Lon gago a subterranean maga-
 zine was tunneled under the store. But it soon proved too small and the firm bought an island in the Hudson river about four miles
 north of West Point. There, in tur-
 reted stone buildings, are stored
 vast quantities of explosives, shells,
 artillery, rifles, pistols and machine guns.
 Old Francis Zimmerman sold his
 muskets and bayonets and muzzlc-
 loading cannon exclusively for kill ing purposes. But his sons noticed
 that people liked to come in and paw over historic weapons and would bly the most useless swords
 and pistols for their dens. This gave them the idea of developing the antique business, and now. they've
 built up the finest war museum in the country.
 The collection goes back to armor and cross bows, hauberks and bikes. For S350 you can buy Chi nese hand cannon" one sof the first rifles, which was fired with a
 fuse. There are some bell-muzzled
 blunderbusses from India, covered fancy inlay. One of the earliest re- beating rifles is British navy car
 bine with seven barrels. In all, there are abouta thousand differ ent kinds. of firearms. People all
 over the country sell the Banner
 mann antique guns and swords. Some of the relics are not for sale at any price. They have the forward capstan of the battleship Maine, and Admiral Dewey's battle flag. A peace-time exhibit, used for
 hunting, is double- barreled flint
 lock shotgun which belonged to
 Napoleon.

The Connecticut Forest and Park As sociation has been doing fine work for years in providing recreation areas for people. Of recent years it has taken on itself the job of making hundreds of miles of trails in every direction. Now the as- socation plans system of bridle paths to be utilized by equestrian enthusiasts. A plan is even now being considered that may eventually link number of miles of wooded parts and dirt roads. The idea is a fine one. Horseback riding is avail able to more people to-day than ever. It is fine sport It should be encouraged by providing spots where people can engage in it without the threat of the motor car. There are many abandoned roads that could be utilized provided little work was done and some means of making them accessible to stables taken.

THE GROSREST SIN
is SELFISHNESS
By R. A. Adams

(For the Literary Service Bureau)
Though some may Gift up holy
hands,"
AT those who break Divine
commands,
If they deny it or confess,
The "grossest sin" is selfish
ness.
What prompts men sternly to
abhor,
"The lesser breeds, without the
law"
Since all the Zone blood" now
possess
Nothing but sordid selfishness.
Why do some rich men hold in
scOrn
The poor, who are to labor
BORN
And why the helpless poor OPP
press?-
1t is this signs of selfishness.
Why do unfallen ones look down
On Grants weak, with soothing
frown,
And curse where they should
rather bless?A
'qis all BECAUSE Of selfishness.
Then it were well indeed, that we
Devoutly pray, Deliver me
If mine be greater guilt or less
Froan this gross sin of selfish
ness.
