     This Amendment No. 11 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D,
dated October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the
"Statement"), of Edna Jean Offield ("EJO"), James S. Offield ("JSO") and
Paxson H. Offield ("PHO") relating to the Common Stock, no par value, of
the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").  Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings given them in the joint statement filed October 18, 1991 or any
previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information set forth in
the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     EJO transferred 32,040 shares and the Wrigley Offield Trust ("WO Trust")
transferred 609,912 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, without par
value (the "Class B Common Stock") on August 18, 1993 in exchange for the same
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock beneficially owned by William
Wrigley, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The shares
were exchanged on a one-for-one basis, and there was no cash or other
consideration involved in the exchange.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     The exchange of 641,952 shares of Class B Common Stock for the same
number of shares of Common Stock was effected to provide for the continuing
ownership of such Class B Common Stock (which has ten votes per share) by
members of the extended Wrigley family or their affiliates while providing
EJO and the WO Trust with flexibility to consider future sales of all or part of
their respective shares, without regard to the restrictions set forth in the
Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation applicable to the Company's
Class B Common Stock.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"),
of the Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a
share for share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to
restrictions on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B
Stock, rule 13d-3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires that the shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting
persons be treated as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement. The
following table sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i)
the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the
approximate percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.
Of the shares set forth under the middle column below, 3,253,362, 2,024,034 and
1,792,119 are shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.  The percentage calculations set forth below are based on
90,370,853 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 15, 1993, plus the
respective number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the
reporting persons.

     This Amendment No. 10 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D,
dated October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the
"Statement"), of Edna Jean Offield ("EJO"), James S. Offield ("JSO") and
Paxson H. Offield ("PHO") relating to the Common Stock, no par value, of
the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").  Unless otherwise defined
herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings given them in the joint statement filed October 18, 1991 or any
previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information set forth in
the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     EJO transferred 32,040 shares and the Wrigley Offield Trust ("WO Trust")
transferred 609,912 shares of the Company's Class B Common Stock, without par
value (the "Class B Common Stock") on August 18, 1993 in exchange for the same
number of shares of the Company's Common Stock beneficially owned by William
Wrigley, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  The shares
were exchanged on a one-for-one basis, and there was no cash or other
consideration involved in the exchange.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     The exchange of 641,952 shares of Class B Common Stock for the same
number of shares of Common Stock was effected to provide for the continuing
ownership of such Class B Common Stock (which has ten votes per share) by
members of the extended Wrigley family or their affiliates while providing
EJO and the WO Trust with flexibility to consider future sales of all or part
of their respective shares, without regard to the restrictions set forth in
the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation applicable to the
Company's Class B Common Stock.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"),
of the Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a
share for share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to
restrictions on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B
Stock, rule 13d-3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires that the shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting
persons be treated as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.
The following table sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons
(i) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned,
and (ii) the approximate percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned.  Of the shares set forth under the middle column below,
3,253,362, 2,024,034 and 1,792,119 are shares of Class B Stock beneficially
owned by EJO, JSO and PHO, respectively.  The percentage calculations set
forth below are based on 90,370,853 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of
July 15, 1993, plus the respective number of shares of Class B Stock that
are beneficially owned by the reporting persons.

The Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 150,000 shares of

24, 1992) to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated October 18, 1991, of

<F9>  In Amendment No. 8 to the joint statement of Schedule 13D as of March
31, 1993, there was a typographical error on page 3 and page 6 relating to

S. Offield's holdings being reduced by 180,010 shares, rather than by the
correct amount of 150,000 shares, for a difference of 30,010.  By this
Amendment No. 9, Amendment No. 8 is amended to state on:

1)  page three that, as of March 31, 1993, James S. Offield had shared
voting power over 7,216,544 shares (line 8) and beneficially owned a total
of 7,323,212 shares (line 11);

2)  page 6 in Item 5, paragraphs (a) and (b), the correct numbers of shares
for James S. Offield, as of March 31, 1993, were:

     This Amendment No. 8 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield, James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock, no par value, of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to the agreement described under Item 6, on March 31, 1993, The
Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 150,000 shares of Common Stock
to the Company for a purchase price per share determined in accordance with a
formula set forth in such agreement.  Each of the reporting persons is a
director of the Foundation and as such shares voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company owned by the Foundation.  Each of the
reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.
Following the sale described above, the Foundation owns 690,114 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.

     The reporting persons sold the Common Stock specified in Item 5(c) to
decrease their equity position in the Company.  As previously reported under
Item 5(b) of the Original Statement, the nature of the reporting persons'
respective beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock varies.  However,
regardless of the nature of the reporting persons' beneficial ownership of
shares, all shares of Common Stock reported by this Statement as being
beneficially owned by them are held for investment purposes.  In the normal
course of managing their investment in the Company's Common Stock (whether the
Common Stock is owned directly or indirectly as a result of any of the facts
described under Item 5(b) of this Statement), the reporting persons may acquire
or dispose of shares of Common Stock.  Except as described in the preceding
sentence, the reporting persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in any of the events described in paragraphs (a) through (j) set
forth under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 3,895,314, 2,633,943 and
2,402,031 are shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.  The percentage calculations set forth below are based on
90,437,775 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 1993, plus the
respective number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the
reporting persons.

      This Amendment No. 7 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna  Jean Offield,  James S. Offield  and Paxson  H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock,  no par  value, of  the Wm.  Wrigley Jr.  Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise  defined herein,  all capitalized  terms used  but not  defined
herein shall  have the  meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991  or any  previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

       The  reporting persons  sold the  Common Stock  specified in Item 5(c) to
decrease their  equity position  in the  Company.   As previously reported under
Item 5(b)  of the  Original Statement,  the nature  of  the  reporting  persons'
respective beneficial  ownership of  shares of  Common Stock  varies.   However,
regardless of  the nature  of the  reporting persons'  beneficial  ownership  of
shares, all  shares  of  Common  Stock  reported  by  this  Statement  as  being
beneficially owned  by them  are held  for investment  purposes.   In the normal
course of  managing their  investment in the Company's Common Stock (whether the
Common Stock  is owned  directly or  indirectly as  a result of any of the facts
described under  Item 5(b) of this Statement), the reporting persons may acquire
or dispose  of shares  of Common  Stock.   Except as  described in the preceding
sentence, the  reporting persons  have no  plans or proposals which relate to or
would result  in any  of the  events described in paragraphs (a) through (j) set
forth under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are  convertible at  any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.   Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under  the Securities  Exchange Act  of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of  Class B  Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares  of Common  Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth,  with respect  to each  of the  reporting persons  (i) the aggregate
number of  shares of  Common Stock  beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of  outstanding shares  of Common  Stock beneficially  owned.  Of the
shares set  forth under  the  middle  column  below,  3,895,314,  2,633,943  and
2,402,031 are  shares of  Class B  Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.   The  percentage  calculations  set  forth  below  are  based  on
90,410,843 shares  of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 1992, plus the
respective number  of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the
reporting persons.

     This Amendment No. 6 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield, James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock, no par value, of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to the agreement described under Item 6, on December 31, 1992, The
Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 150,000 shares of Common Stock
to the Company for a purchase price per share determined in accordance with a
formula set forth in such agreement.  Each of the reporting persons is a
director of the Foundation and as such shares voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company owned by the Foundation.  Each of the
reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.
Following the sale described above, the Foundation owns 840,114 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 3,895,314, 2,633,943 and
2,402,031 are shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.  The percentage calculations set forth below are based on
90,410,843 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of December 31, 1992, plus the
respective number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the
reporting persons.

     This Amendment No. 5 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield, James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock, no par value, of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to the agreement described under Item 6, on September 30, 1992,
The Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 150,000 shares of Common
Stock to the Company for a purchase price per share determined in accordance
with a formula set forth in such agreement.  Each of the reporting persons is a
director of the Foundation and as such shares voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company owned by the Foundation.  Each of the
reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.
Following the sale described above, the Foundation owns 990,114 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 3,895,314, 2,633,943 and
2,402,031 are shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.  The percentage calculations set forth below are based on
30,104,447* shares of Common Stock outstanding as of September 1, 1992 (as
adjusted for the stock split), plus the respective number of shares of Class B
Stock that are beneficially owned by the reporting persons.

* On September 15, 1992, the Company distributed to each of its stockholders two
shares of Common Stock and two shares of Class B Common Stock for every share of
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held as of record on September 1, 1992.

1992; last business day of the first quarter 1993; and last business day of the

     This Amendment No. 4 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield, James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock, no par value, of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment.  Except as amended hereby, the information
set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to the agreement described under Item 6, on June 30, 1992, The
Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 50,000 shares of Common Stock
to the Company for a purchase price per share determined in accordance with a
formula set forth in such agreement.  Each of the reporting persons is a
director of the Foundation and as such shares voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company owned by the Foundation.  Each of the
reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.
Following the sale described above, the Foundation owns 380,038 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 1,298,438, 877,981 and 800,677
are shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO,
respectively.  The percentage calculations set forth below are based on
30,041,747 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of June 30, 1992, plus the
respective number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the
reporting persons.

     This Amendment No. 2 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991, as previously amended and as amended hereby (the "Statement"),
of Edna Jean Offield, James S. Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the
Common Stock, no par value, of the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company (the "Company").
Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meanings given them in the joint statement filed October
18, 1991 or any previous amendment thereto.  Except as amended hereby, the
information set forth in the Statement remains true, complete and correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     Pursuant to the agreement described under Item 6, on December 31, 1991, the
Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation") sold 50,000 shares of Common Stock
to the Company for a purchase price per share determined in accordance with a
formula set forth in such agreement.  Each of the reporting persons is a
director of the Foundation and as such shares voting and dispositive power with
respect to the Common Stock of the Company owned by the Foundation.  Each of the
reporting persons disclaims beneficial ownership of such Common Stock.
Following the sale described above, the Foundation owns 480,038 shares of Common
Stock of the Company.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Comon Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 861,640, 877,981 and 800,677 are
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO, respectively.
The percentage calculations set forth below are based on 30,089,726 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of December 16, 1991, plus the respective number of
shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the reporting persons.

     This Amendment No. 1 relates to the joint statement on Schedule 13D, dated
October 18, 1991 (the "Original Statement"), of Edna Jean Offield, James S.
Offield and Paxson H. Offield relating to the Common Stock, no par value, of the
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company.  The Original Statement, as amended hereby, is referred
to herein as the "Statement."  All terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings given them in the Original Statement.  Except as amended hereby,
the information set forth in the Original Statement remains true, complete and
correct.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     On October 31, 1991, EJO acquired beneficial ownership of 855,200 shares of
Common Stock and 436,798 shares of Class B Stock of the Company as a result of
becoming a trustee of several family trusts which include these shares among
their trust properties.  In her capacity as trustee, EJO shares voting and
dispositive power over these shares with the other individual trustee of the
trusts.  Because shares of Class B Stock are convertible into shares of Common
Stock at any time on a share-for-share basis, rule 13d-3(d) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that shares of Class B Stock be
treated as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  Accordingly,
on October 31, 1991, EJO acquired beneficial ownership of 1,291,998 shares of
Common Stock.

     As previously reported under Item 5(b) of the Original Statement, the
nature of the reporting persons' respective beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock varies.  However, regardless of the nature of the reporting
persons' beneficial ownership of shares, all shares of Common Stock reported by
this Statement as being beneficially owned by them are held for investment
purposes.  In the normal course of managing their investment in the Company's
Common Stock (whether the Common Stock is owed directly or indirectly as a
result of any of the facts described under Item 5(b) of the Statement), the
reporting persons may acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock.  Except as
described in the preceding sentence, the reporting persons have no plans or
proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in
paragraphs (a) through (j) set forth under Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

     (a)  The following table sets forth, with respect to EJO (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 1,298,438 are shares of Class B
Stock beneficially owned by EJO.  The percentage calculation set forth below is
based on 29,879,927 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 15, 1991, plus
the number of shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by EJO.

<F1>  Of the shares listed in this column, 10,680 are shares of Class B Stock

trustee of several family trusts, (ii) 2,326,032 of these shares as a result of
the provisions of certain family trusts described under Item 6 of the Original
Statement, and (iii) 530,038 of these shares as a result of serving as a
director of The Offield Family Foundation (the "Foundation"), which is the legal
owner of such 530,038 shares.  EJO disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the
shares described in clauses (i) and (iii) of the preceding sentence and
1,002,432 of the shares described in clause (ii) of that sentence.  EJO shares
voting and dispositve power over 1,291,998 of the shares described in clause (i)
with John T. Hayes, a trustee of certain of the family trusts described in that
clause.  For the applicable information required by subparagraphs (b) through
(f) of Item 2 with respect to Mr. Hayes, see Exhibit 1 hereto which is
incorporated herein by this reference.

     (c)  Except for the transaction described under Item 4 of this Amendment
No. 1, the reporting persons have not effected any transactions in the Common
Stock of the Company since October 21, 1991, the date of their most recent joint
filing on Schedule 13D.

Item 7.  Material to Be Filing as Exhibits.

     A list of the exhibits included as part of this Amendment No. 1 is set

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     Not Applicable.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     As more fully described under Item 5(b), the nature of the reporting
persons' respective beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock varies.
However, regardless of the nature of the reporting persons' beneficial ownership
of shares, all shares of Common Stock reported by this Statement as being
beneficially owned by them are held for investment purposes.  In the normal
course of managing their investment in the Company's Common Stock (whether the
Common Stock is owed directly or indirectly as a result of any of the facts
described under Item 5(b)), the reporting persons may acquire or dispose of
shares of Common Stock.  Except as described in the preceding sentence, the
reporting persons have no plans or proposals which relate to or would result in
any of the events described in paragraphs (a) through (j) set forth under Item 4
of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.

     (a)  Shares of Class B Common Stock, no par value ("Class B Stock"), of the
Company are convertible at any time into shares of Comon Stock on a share for
share basis, are entitled to ten votes per share and are subject to restrictions
on transfer.  Because of the conversion feature of the Class B Stock, rule 13d-
3(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires that the
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by the reporting persons be treated
as shares of Common Stock for purposes of this Statement.  The following table
sets forth, with respect to each of the reporting persons (i) the aggregate
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, and (ii) the approximate
percentage of outstanding shares of Common Stock beneficially owned.  Of the
shares set forth under the middle column below, 861,640, 877,981 and 800,677 are
shares of Class B Stock beneficially owned by EJO, JSO and PHO, respectively.
The percentage calculations set forth below are based on 29,879,927 shares of
Common Stock outstanding as of July 15, 1991, plus the respective number of
shares of Class B Stock that are beneficially owned by the reporting persons.
