          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
- --------------------------
      The  condensed  financial statements  have  been  prepared  in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and have
not  been audited by the Company's independent accountants.  Certain
information  and  note  disclosures  normally  included  in  audited
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally  accepted
accounting  principles for complete financial statements  have  been
condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of
the   Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.   The  preparation   of
condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates
and  assumptions  that  affect the reported amounts  of  assets  and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities  and
the  reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the  reporting
period.   In  the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the Company's financial position have been included.
The  results of operations for the three and six months  ended  June
30,  1997  are  not  necessarily indicative of  the  results  to  be
expected  for  a  full  year.  These condensed financial  statements
should  be  read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial
statements   which  appear  in  the  Company's  Annual   Report   to
Stockholders for the period ended December 31, 1996.

2.   INVENTORIES
- ----------------
      A  summary of the major classifications of inventories  is  as
follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                                         June 30,     December 31,
                                           1997           1996
                                         --------     ------------
<S>                                    <C>            <C>          
         Finished goods                 $  52,130      $  34,920
         Work-in-process                    6,355          2,089
         Raw materials and supplies         8,188         10,441
                                        ---------      ---------
                                        $  66,673      $  47,450
                                        =========      =========
</TABLE>

       If   the  FIFO  (first-in,  first-out)  method  of  inventory
accounting   (which  approximates  current  cost)  had  been   used,
inventories  would have been approximately $1,357 and  $2,027  lower
than reported at June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively.

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE
- -----------------------
      Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.   For
the  three  and  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  common  stock
equivalents  have  been included in the weighted average  number  of

                                7
<PAGE>

shares of common stock outstanding and amount to approximately 2,000
and  20,000 shares respectively.  For the three and six months ended
June  30,  1996, common stock equivalents have not been included  in
the  weighted  average number of shares of common stock  outstanding
since the effect would be antidilutive.  For the three month periods
ending  June  30,  1997  and 1996, there is  no  difference  between
primary and fully diluted net income per common share.

      In  February  1997, the Financial Accounting  Standards  Board
(FASB)  issued Statement of  Financial Accounting Standard No.  128,
"Earnings  Per Share," which simplifies the calculation of  earnings
per share (EPS) and is effective for both interim and annual periods
ending  after December 15, 1997.  The Statement is not  expected  to
have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

4.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
- ----------------------------------
       The   Company  is  subject  to  federal,  state   and   local
environmental   laws   and  regulations  and   certain   legal   and
administrative claims are pending or have been asserted against  the
Company.   Among  these claims, the Company  is  a  named  party  in
several  actions  associated with waste  disposal  sites,  asbestos-
related  claims and general liability claims.  These actions include
possible  obligations  to  remove or mitigate  the  effects  on  the
environment   of  wastes  deposited  at  various  sites,   including
Superfund  sites  and  certain of the Company's currently-owned  and
previously-owned facilities.  The contingencies also include  claims
for  personal  injury and/or property damage.  The exact  amount  of
such  future costs and timing of payments are indeterminable due  to
such  unknown factors as the magnitude of clean-up costs, the timing
and  extent  of  the  remedial actions that  may  be  required,  the
determination  of  the Company's liability in  proportion  to  other
potentially  responsible parties and the extent to which  any  costs
may be recoverable from insurance.

      The Company records a liability for environmental remediation,
asbestos-related claim costs, and general liability  claims  when  a
clean-up program or claim payment becomes probable and the costs can
be  reasonably  estimated.  As assessments and  clean-ups  progress,
these  liabilities are adjusted based upon progress  in  determining
the  timing and extent of remedial actions and the related costs and
damages.   The  extent  and amounts of the  liabilities  can  change
substantially  due  to  factors such as  the  nature  or  extent  of
contamination,  changes in remedial requirements  and  technological
improvements.   The  recorded liabilities  are  not  discounted  for
delays  in  future  payments and are not reduced by  the  amount  of
estimated insurance recoveries.  Such estimated insurance recoveries
are considered probable of recovery.

       Although  the  outcome  of  these  matters  could  result  in
significant expenses or judgments, management does not believe based
on  present facts and circumstances that their disposition will have
a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

5.   RECLASSIFICATIONS
- ----------------------
     For comparison purposes, certain amounts have been reclassified
to conform to the current year presentation.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
               AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Three  and  six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to three  and
 six months ended June 30, 1996.

      Net sales for the second quarter of 1997 were $64.9 million as
compared to $74.4 million for the second quarter of 1996, a decrease
of  $9.5 million or 12.7%.  Year-to-date net sales for the first six
months  of  1997 were $126.0 million, a decrease of $2.5 million  or
2.0% from the first six months of 1996.  Second quarter net sales in
1997  were  negatively affected by weak retail demand.  In addition,
during  the  quarter  ended June 30, 1997 the  Company  was  in  the
process  of  building  inventory  in  preparation  for  an  extended
shutdown to refurbish a major production line.  As a result, it  was
limited  in  its  ability  to stimulate sales  with  promotions  and
specials.

      Gross profit for the second quarter of 1997 was $19.8 million,
down  $5.3 million from $25.1 million in the second quarter of 1996.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales in the second quarter of 1997
was 30.5%, compared to 33.7% in the second quarter of 1996.  Year-to-
date gross profit for the first six months of 1997 was $38.0 million
(30.2%  of net sales), down from $39.0 million (30.3% of net  sales)
in  the first six months of 1996.  For 1997 second quarter and first
half gross profit was lower than the comparable periods in 1996  due
to  lower  net sales, competitive pricing pressures, and higher  raw
material   costs,   which  offset  improvements   in   manufacturing
efficiency.

      Selling, general, and administrative costs increased  by  $0.2
million or 1.3% to $15.8 million in the second quarter of 1997  from
$15.6  million in the second quarter of 1996.  As a percent  of  net
sales, selling, general, and administrative costs were 24.4% for the
second  quarter  of 1997 and 21.0% for the second quarter  of  1996.
Year-to-date  selling, general and administrative expenses  for  the
first  six  months of 1997 were $31.1 million (24.7% of net  sales),
compared  to  $29.9 million (23.3% of net sales) in the same  period
last  year.  The increase in operating expenses is primarily due  to
increased investment in retail displays.

      Income from operations for the second quarter of 1997 was $4.0
million (6.1% of net sales), compared to $9.4 million (12.7% of  net
sales)  for the second quarter of 1996, a decrease of $5.5  million,
or  57.9%.   This decline was due to the lower net sales  and  gross
profit  margins  during the second quarter  of  1997.   Income  from
operations  for  the  six months ended June 30,  1997  totaled  $7.0
million, $2.1 million lower than the same period in 1996.

      Net  income  for the second quarter of 1997 was $2.1  million,
compared to  $4.8 million for the second quarter of 1996, a decrease
of $2.7 million, reflecting the lower income from operations, partly
offset by higher royalty income and lower interest expense.  For the
six  months  ended June 30, 1997, net income was $3.1 million,  $0.7
million lower than net income in the first half of 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
      Cash  and  cash equivalents, including short-term investments,
declined  $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30,  1997,  to
$26.7  million.  Working capital at June 30, 1997 was $58.4 million,
down  from $62.0 million at December 31, 1996.  The ratio of current
assets  to  current liabilities at June 30, 1997  was  2.0  to  1.0,
compared to 2.1 to 1.0 at December 31, 1996.  The ratio of  debt  to
total capital at June 30, 1997 was .39 to 1.0 compared to .40 to 1.0
at  December 31, 1996.  Cash used by operations was $8.9 million for
the  first  half of 1997, compared to cash generated from operations
of $2.3 million in the first half of 1996.

     In June 1997, the Company shut down its largest production line
for a substantial upgrading that is expected to take several months.
Inventories  at  June  30, 1997 were $19.2 million  higher  than  at
December  31, 1996, reflecting the additional material  produced  in
preparation for this shutdown.  This is the primary reason  for  the
lower  cash  from operations when compared to the same  period  last
year.  The bulk of this additional inventory is expected to be  sold
by the end of 1997.  Capital expenditures were $10.1 million for the
first  half  of  1997, and are expected to continue  at  that  level
during  the  balance  of  the  year,  with  full  year  expenditures
projected to be $20 million.

      During  1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized  the
repurchase  of  $5  million of the Company's common  stock  and  $10
million of its 9% senior notes.  At June 30, 1997, $1.9 million  had
been  expended  on  stock  repurchases and  $3.1  million  had  been
expended on note repurchases pursuant to these authorizations.

      The  Company  has  recorded  what  it  believes  are  adequate
provisions   for   environmental  remediation  and   product-related
liabilities,   including  provisions  for  testing   for   potential
remediation of conditions at its own facilities.  While the  Company
believes  its estimate of the future amount of these liabilities  is
reasonable,  that  such  amounts will not have  a  material  adverse
effect  on the financial position of the Company and that they  will
be paid over a period of five to ten years, the timing and amount of
such   payments   may  differ  significantly  from   the   Company's
assumptions.   Although  the effect of future government  regulation
could  have a significant effect on the Company's costs, the Company
is  not aware of any pending legislation which could have a material
adverse  effect on its results of operations or financial  position.
There can be no assurances that such costs could be passed along  to
its customers.

      The  Company's  principal sources of liquidity  are  net  cash
provided  by  operating activities and borrowings under its  Amended
and  Restated Financing Agreement.  The Company believes that  these
sources will be adequate to fund working capital requirements,  debt
service  payments, stock and note repurchases, and  planned  capital
expenditures through the foreseeable future.
