Library & Museum To Make PA Masonic Blazers Available

As The Pennsylvania Freemason was readied for the printer, the Board of Directors of the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania and the R.W. Grand Master approved the production of exclusive Pennsylvania Masonic blazers by Bill Blass Menswear. The Library and Museum will benefit from a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each of the high quality blazers that will be available through the Library and Museum Gift Shop.

The unique blazer is described as being impeccably tailored from the finest worsted wool and having gold, two-toned insignia buttons and a removable silver bullion crest. Bill Blass Menswear values a blazer of that quality and design at $315; but says that thanks to the Grand Lodge commitment to benefit the Library and Museum, it will be available for $200.

Order forms are being prepared for the distribution by the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania very soon. The order forms will require a purchaser to provide his name and address and stipulate the size (regular, 36-52; short, 38-46; long, 38-50; or extra long, 40-48) and enclose a check made payable to "The Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania." The orders are to be mailed to the Library and Museum at the Masonic Temple, One North Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19107-2520. (Purchasers also can order by fax by including the required information and credit card data to John H. Platt, Jr. at 215-988-1972.)

Bro. Platt, the Executive Director of the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania, reported the approval of the blazers' production and sales with enthusiasm, not only for the benefit it will have financially for the Library and Museum, but also because of the exclusively unique, high quality product sportswear that is being offered.
