ITEM 3.  Source and Amount of Funds and Other Consideration.
         ---------------------------------------------------

    The Schedule 13D is amended to reflect purchases, in privately 
    negotiated and open market transactions, of additional shares of the 
    Issuer's Common Stock by the Buckeye Business Products, Inc. Division 
    of Bobbie Brooks, Incorporated ("Buckeye").  The Purchase Prices were 
    derived from working capital resources of Buckeye.  These purchases 
    increased the percentage of the Issuer's shares owned by Buckeye.

    The Schedule 13D is also amended to reflect a change in the percentage
    of the Issuer's shares owned by Buckeye resulting from additional 
    repurchases by the Issuer of its own shares in the open market.

ITEM 4.  Purpose of Transactions.
         ------------------------

    The purpose of the purchases by Buckeye was to increase Buckeye's 
    percentage ownership in the stock of the Issuer.  Buckeye, its 91% 
    stockholder Pubco Corporation ("Pubco"), and/or Pubco's principal 
    stockholder Robert H. Kanner ("Kanner") might purchase additional 
    shares of stock of the Issuer at some time or times in the future.

    On October 24, 1995, Pubco announced that it had made separate 
    proposals to Bobbie Brooks, Incorporated ("Brooks") and to the 
    Issuer, which if accepted, would result in Pubco owning 100% of 
    Brooks and the assets of Issuer, and the stockholders of Brooks and 
    the Issuer receiving Pubco Common Stock.

    The proposal made to Brooks would provide for the merger of Brooks 
    into a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and the conversion of each 
    six shares of Brooks' Common Stock into one share of Pubco Common 
    Stock.  The proposal made to the Issuer would provide for the 
    acquisition of the assets of the Issuer by a wholly owned subsidiary 
    of Pubco for Pubco Common Stock and the distribution to former 
    stockholders of the Issuer of one share of Pubco Common Stock for 
    each seven shares of the Issuer's Common Stock owned by them.

    The proposals are subject to the approval of Pubco's stockholders and 
    the approval of the Board of Directors and stockholders of each of 
    Brooks and the Issuer, after each of those companies has received 
    advice from its independent financial advisor.

ITEM 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
         -------------------------------------

    (a)  The Schedule 13D is amended to reflect that Buckeye acquired 
         235,000 additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock in the 
         following privately negotiated transactions:

          40,000 shares purchased December 1, 1995 at $0.85714 per share;
          40,000 shares purchased December 1, 1995 at $0.85714 per share;
          40,000 shares purchased December 1, 1995 at $0.85714 per share;
         115,000 shares purchased December 6, 1995 at $0.85714 per share.
                                              
                             Page 5 of 7 Pages         
                            
<PAGE>


         The Schedule 13D is also amended to reflect that Buckeye 
         acquired 14,000 additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock 
         in the following open market purchases:

         8,000 shares purchased December 6, 1995 at $0.71875 per share, 
         plus a commission of $0.02525 per share, for an aggregate 
         purchase price of approximately $0.74416 per share.

         6,000 shares purchased December 8, 1995 at $0.71875 per share, 
         plus a commission of $0.02525 per share, for an aggregate 
         purchase price of approximately $0.74416 per share.

         As a result of the above transactions, Buckeye is now the owner 
         of an aggregate of 1,983,388 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock.

         The Issuer has been purchasing its own shares in the open market 
         since February 15, 1995.  As a result of additional purchases 
         made by the Issuer between August 31, 1995 and September 20, 
         1995, the Issuer's outstanding shares have decreased and the 
         Issuer now has outstanding 3,988,756 shares of its Common Stock.

         The privately negotiated and open market purchases by Buckeye of 
         additional shares of the Issuer's Common Stock and the purchases 
         in the open market by the Issuer of its own shares of Common 
         Stock have resulted in an increase in the percentage of the 
         Issuer's issued and oustanding Common Stock owned by Buckeye to 
         approximately 49.7%.

    (b)  Buckeye, Kanner and Pubco may be deemed to have shared power to 
         vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of all of the 
         Issuer's shares owned by Buckeye.

    (c)  Other than as set forth above, none of Buckeye, Pubco or Kanner 
         had effected any transactions in the Issuer's Common Stock 
         during the 60 days preceeding the event requiring the filing of 
         this Amended Schedule 13D.

    (d)  Neither Kanner nor Pubco own any of the Issuer's shares of 
         record.  Kanner is the majority stockholder of Pubco and Pubco 
         is the controlling stockholder of Brooks and as such, Kanner and 
         Pubco may be deemed to be the owner of the Issuer's shares owned 
         by Buckeye.  Buckeye, Pubco and Kanner may be deemed to have 
         shared power to vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition 
         of all of the Issuer's shares owned by Buckeye.
