   BURNHAM SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES TENDER OFFER FOR BRYAN STOCK


LANCASTER, PENNSYLVANIA,                        November 13, 1998

           Burnham Corporation announced today that its wholly
owned subsidiary, Burnham Acquisition Corporation, has accepted
for payment and made arrangements to pay for 185,749 shares of
common stock of Bryan Steam Corporation tendered pursuant to its
friendly tender offer for all outstanding shares of Bryan common
stock at $152.00 per share, without interest, which expired at
12:00 midnight, New York City time, on November 11, 1998. The
shares accepted for payment constitute more than 97% of the
outstanding Bryan common stock. In accordance with the merger
agreement, Bryan will merge with and into Burnham Acquisition
Corporation, which will change its name to "Bryan Steam
Corporation" and each share not previously purchased in the
tender offer (other than shares held by shareholders who exercise
their dissenters' rights) will be converted into the right to
receive $152.00 in cash. It is anticipated that this "short-form"
merger will be consummated within the next thirty days.

since producing its first boiler in 1873. Burnham is a major U.S.
