           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. The  information included herein reflects all adjustments (none of which
   were other than normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of  the
   Company, are necessary to a fair statement of the financial position  as
   of  August 31, 1995 and February 28, 1995, and the results of operations
   and  cash  flows  for the three months and six months ended  August  31,
   1995 and 1994.

2. Earnings  per  common  share amounts are based on the  weighted  average
   number   of   shares  outstanding  during  the  period.   Common   stock
   equivalents  (options see Note 3) have not been included in  determining
   earnings  per common share amounts because their inclusion,  either  for
   purposes  of  computing  primary or fully diluted  earnings  per  share,
   would  not  produce  sufficient incremental shares (using  the  treasury
   stock method) to reduce the per share amounts shown.

3. As  of  August  31,  1995, the Company has reserved  378,958  shares  of
   common stock under incentive stock options plans.

4. The  Company  uses the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method of  pricing  the
   raw  material content of most of its business forms inventories, and the
   First-In,  First-Out (FIFO) method is used to value the remainder.   The
   following  table summarizes the components of inventory at the different
   stages of production (in thousands of dollars):

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



Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At August 31, 1995, the Company's financial position continues to  be
strong.  Working capital increased from $46,289,000 at February 28, 1995 to
$49,826,000  at August 31, 1995.  The increase is due to cash  provided  by
operating activities.  The Company's cash flow from operations continues to
be  adequate  to  sustain operations, meet debt repayment requirements  and
fund capital additions.  No liquidity problems are anticipated.


Results of Operations

      Net  sales for the quarter and six months ended August 31, 1995  each
increased  3.2%  from the corresponding periods in the prior  year.   Gross
margins  for the three and six months ended August 31, 1995 decreased  1.2%
and  1.4%, respectively, over the same periods in the prior year.   Because
of  competitive  market  conditions and the amount  and  frequency  of  raw
material  price increases, our selling price increases have  lagged  behind
cost increases.  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
and  six  months ended August 31, 1995 increased 8% and 9.6%, respectively,
compared  to  the  corresponding periods in the prior year.   Increases  in
selling  and marketing efforts and expenses of our Mexico operation account
for  the  increases.  Investment and other income increased in the  current
year  over  the prior year due to increased amounts of funds available  for
investments  and higher interest rates.  The effective rate of Federal  and
state income tax expense is substantially unchanged from year to year.
