</TABLE>
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL INFORMATION

  1.  Management Statement

      The financial statements as reported in Form 10-Q reflect all
      adjustments (including those of a normal recurring nature) which are,
      in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of results
      for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995 and 1994.

  2.  Per Share Calculation

      Shares (in thousands) used in per share data are as follows:

                                         December 31
                                      1995        1994
          Earnings                  14,164       14,717
          Cash Dividends            13,960       14,438

      Earnings per share have been computed according to generally accepted
      accounting principles.

      Cash dividends per share have been computed based on the shares
      outstanding at the time the dividends were paid.

  3.  Contingencies

      The Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings related
      to environmental matters generally incidental to its business.
      Management has evaluated each matter based, in part, upon the advice
      of its independent environmental consultants and has recorded an
      appropriate provision for the resolution of such matters in accordance
      with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 5,
      "Accounting for Contingencies."   Management believes that such
      provision is sufficient to cover any future payments, including legal
      costs, under such proceedings.

  4.  Additional Borrowings

      In September, the Company negotiated a $50,000,000 unsecured loan
      agreement with an institutional lender.  The loan has a fixed interest
      rate of 7.13% and is repayable in level, annual principal payments
      beginning September, 1999 and ending September, 2005. The financial
      covenants of the new loan agreement are similar to those under the
      Company's revolving credit agreement.  The proceeds of the loan were
      used to reduce borrowings under the revolving credit agreement.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION


During the six months ended December 31, 1995, the Company negotiated a $50
million unsecured loan agreement with an institutional lender.  The loan has a
fixed interest rate of 7.13% and is repayable in level, annual principal
payments beginning September, 1999 and ending September, 2005.  The financial
covenants of the new loan agreement are similar to those under the Company's
revolving credit agreement.

Net Income of $18.5 million and the proceeds from the new loan agreement were
used to reduce borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement, fund
operating activities, invest $8.8 million in plant and equipment, purchase $7.7
million of the Company's Common Stock and pay out $4.9 million of cash dividends
to the Company's shareholders.  The Company believes that existing cash flows,
along with current credit and loan agreements, are sufficient to meet its
anticipated cash requirements for the foreseeable future.

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation."  Although this standard will require additional disclosure within
the Company's financial statements, it will not affect the Company's financial
condition or operating results.



OPERATIONS



                         Quarter Ended December 31, 1995
               as compared to the Quarter Ended December 31, 1994


Net Sales reached record levels for the quarter ended December 31, 1995.  As
compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1995, Net Sales rose $10.2 million.  In
the latter portion of the prior fiscal year, a number of divisions raised sales
prices to help offset material price increases.  Although it is difficult to
quantify the impact of the sales price increases on Net Sales, management
believes the majority of the growth in Net Sales is due to growth in unit
volumes.  In addition, although changes in the average foreign exchange rates
from December 31, 1994 to December 31, 1995 have had a positive impact on Net
Sales during the quarter, the total effect was not significant.

The Company has experienced some softening in domestic business.  However, all
three of the Company's segments reported growth in Net Sales due mainly to
improvements in customer demand reported by the foreign divisions.  The
Graphics/Mail Order segment registered an increase in Net Sales of $4.5 million
with the Institutional segment reporting growth of $3.2 million.  Net Sales for
the Industrial segment rose $2.5 million.


OPERATIONS (Continued)


The Gross Profit Margin Percentage declined 1.7% from 35.1% reported in the
second quarter of fiscal 1995 to 33.4% for the three months ended December 31,
1995.  All three segments registered a modest decline in the Gross Profit Margin
Percentage due to higher material costs at some units along with a few instances
of increased competitive pressures on pricing.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) decreased slightly for the
three months ended December 31, 1995 when compared to the same period of fiscal
1995.  All three segments reported only slight increases and decreases in SG&A,
none of which was individually significant.

Interest Expense rose 28.8%, or $562,000, as compared to the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 due to higher interest rates than those experienced during the same
period of the prior year.

The above factors resulted in a $205,000, or 1.5%, increase in Income Before
Income Taxes as compared to the same period of the prior year.  The effective
tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 1995 is equal to that reported in
the same period of fiscal 1995.

Net Income for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 rose $151,000, or 1.7%, over
the same quarter last year due to the factors described above.



                       Six Months Ended December 31, 1995
              as compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 1994




Net Sales for the six months ended December 31, 1995 reached record levels.  An
increase in Net Sales of $11.8 million was reported.  As indicated in the
discussion of quarterly results, management believes the majority of this growth
is related to increases in unit volumes.  Also, the effect of changes in average
foreign exchange rates on operating results was not significant.

Net Sales for the Institutional and Graphics/Mail Order segments rose $7.3 and
$5.4 million, respectively, for the reasons described in the discussion of
quarterly results.  Despite gains reported by several foreign divisions within
the Industrial segment, a slight decline in Net Sales was reported due to the
sale of a German subsidiary in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year.

The Gross Profit Margin Percentage for the six month period declined modestly
from 33.9% for the same period of fiscal 1995 to 33.3% for the six months ended
December 31, 1995.  All three segments registered slight declines in the Gross
Profit Margin Percentage, none of which was individually significant.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A) declined slightly for the
six months ended December 31, 1995 when compared to the same period of fiscal
1995.  All three segments reported only slight increases and decreases in SG&A,
none of which was individually significant.


OPERATIONS (Continued)


Interest Expense rose 23.4%, or $892,000, for the six months ended December 31,
1995 due to higher interest rates than those experienced in the same period of
the prior fiscal year.

During the six months ended December 31, 1994, a net gain of $5.4 million was
reported due to the disposition of certain businesses and product lines.  This
prior year gain, in addition to the factors described above, resulted in a $3.8
million decrease in Income Before Income Taxes for the six months ended December
31, 1995.

The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 1995 is slightly
less than that reported in the same period of fiscal 1995.

Due to the factors described above, Net Income for the six months ended December
31, 1995 decreased $2.3 million, or 11.2%, over the same period of the prior
year.
