ITEM 2. DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

    On November 7, 1996, Culbro Corporation (the "Corporation") completed the 
sale of all of the outstanding common stock of each of the companies that 
comprised the Corporation's labeling and packaging systems business, CMS 
Gilbreth Packaging Systems, Inc. ("CMS Gilbreth"), to Impaxx, Inc. for net 
proceeds, after expenses, of approximately $36 million.  The net proceeds 
from the sale of CMS Gilbreth were used to reduce the amount outstanding 
under the Corporation's Credit Agreement and repay the remaining amount 
outstanding under the Corporation's Senior Notes.  The Corporation provided 
for a pretax loss on the sale of CMS Gilbreth of approximately $5.6 million 
in its 1996 Third Quarter Form 10-Q.
