Masonic Blazers Now Available

Forms have been designed and the distribution system put into place in the Gift Shop in the Masonic Temple for ordering the exclusive navy blue Pennsylvania Masonic blazers by Bill Blass Menswear in the recently announced program that will benefit the Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania. John H. Platt, Jr., the Executive Director of the Library and Museum, said that the top quality blazers will cost $200 from which the Library and Museum will receive a substantial donation.

The blazer is tailored from the finest worsted wool and has two-toned gold buttons that bear the Pennsylvania Masons' insignia. Each coat will have a removable silver bullion pocket crest of the same insignia. (Since the pocket crest is normally attached magnetically, a person with a pacemaker should so indicate and a special attachment will be provided.)

To order, complete the request form in the printed edition of The Pennsylvania Freemason and send it with a check or money order payable to: "The Masonic Library and Museum of Pennsylvania," Masonic Temple, One North Broad St., Philadelphia, PA 19107-2520. (You can fax a credit card order to the Masonic Temple, attention John H. Platt, Jr., at 215-988-1972. Be sure to include necessary credit card information.)
