                                                                October 30, 1996

Dear Fellow Wallace Shareholder:

                LEADING INSTITUTIONAL SHAREHOLDER ADVISORY FIRM
               SUPPORTS WYSER-PRATTE TENDER OFFER BY-LAW PROPOSAL

We received important news today. Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. (ISS)
has supported our Tender Offer By-law proposal in a recommendation published
today to its clients. ISS is perhaps the leading advisory firm to major
institutional investors on how to vote on corporate governance issues in
contested elections. ISS's recommendation represents the endorsement of a fully
independent third-party which has completed its own thorough analysis of this
issue. A number of Wallace's largest shareholders are clients of ISS will almost
certainly support our By-law proposal in light of ISS's positive
recommendation. We think you should, too.

There is still time to vote your proxy in favor of the Wyser-Pratte Tender Offer
by-law proposal, but this ProxyGram represents your last chance to do so. Time
is very short -- the Company's Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,
November 6, 1996 at 9:00 a.m. - just 6 days away. You can vote by telephone
using the toll-free number printed below. It will take less than 5 minutes.
Remember -- even if you have already voted AGAINST our proposal, you are legally
permitted to change your mind and vote again.

The ISS report states "We recommend a vote FOR the by-law proposal. We think
the paramount issue raised...is the right of shareholders as the true owners of
the company to ultimately determine whether they can sell their shares at a
given price when presented with the opportunity."

The ISS report continues, "... shareholders on average have more to lose by not
having the right to decide for themselves the worthiness of an offer" and
"...as demonstrated by the circumstances surrounding Wallace over the past
year, shareholders have gained little from the company's rejection of the Moore
bid and its refusal to negotiate with the bidder."

ISS listed many benefits in its 25 page report to its clients as reasons for
supporting this proposal. Among those stated were the following:

* "Shareholders can evaluate offers independently and judge for themselves
  whether thy wish to accept an offer without undue interference by the board."

* "In this instance, Wallace could end up with a higher valuation through a new
  tender offer that might not otherwise occur if the company's defensive shields
  remain in place."

* "The proposal affords an ample period of time for the board to negotiate or
  seek the best possible offer once it had been presented to shareholders."

Remember - our Tender Offer By-law would require shareholder approval to extend
a "just say no" defense against a qualified all cash tender offer for more than
90 days, putting the final decision over a qualified offer in the shareholders'
hands.

Your vote supporting the Wyser-Pratte Tender Offer By=law proposal is critical
if we are to implement a corporate governance system at Wallace that supports
your wishes and those of all Wallace shareholders. We ask you to ignore
Wallace's negative campaigning and scare tactics. Ask yourself, how can more
shareholder participation in important corporate vents NOT be in YOUR best
interest?

We urge you to call now. Just follow the simple instructions printed below. If
you have questions, please call MacKenzie Partners toll-free at 800-322-2885. We
appreciate your continuing support of our nominees and corporate governance
initiatives.

Sincerely,

Guy Wyser-Pratte
President
Wyser-Pratte & Co., Inc.
