Adam Smith would be proud.

In 1983, an old advisor from Tipisa 326 was overheard to remark that the lodge was still using the wooden box that he had built to hold the lodge’s merchandise.  Upon further review, he could not recall which year in the 1950s that he had assembled the box, but that it was close enough to 25 years to warrant a patch for the anniversary.  A private issue of fifty patches were made and distributed to those that would appreciate the joke line “25 YEARS OF PROFIT”.

Twenty five years later, the lodge has decisied to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their “cube of currency”, The Lodge Box, with a 50th anniversary patch (X-19).  300 were made by the lodge.
