           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. The  information included herein reflects all adjustments which, in  the
   opinion  of  the  Company,  are necessary to a  fair  statement  of  the
   financial  position as of May 31, 1995 and February 28,  1995,  and  the
   results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended May  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  May 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 its 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):

                                May 31,     February 28,

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION, RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                        AND OUTLOOK FOR THE FUTURE


Liquidity and Capital Resources

      At  May  31, 1995, the Company's financial position continues  to  be
strong.  Working capital increased from $46,289,000 at February 28, 1995 to
$47,873,000  at  May  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 ended May 31, 1995 increased 3.1% from  the
same  quarter  in  the  prior year.  Gross margins decreased  1.5%  in  the
current  year  period over the same period 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.   We  have recently instituted additional price increases  which
should  improve profits if they hold in the currently competitive  business
forms  market.   Selling,  general, and administrative  expenses  increased
11.1%  in the current year quarter, from the prior year quarter due to 
increases in selling
and  marketing  efforts, costs associated with improving customer  service,
and start-up expenses of our Mexico operation.  Investment and other income
increased  in  the current year quarter compared to the prior year  quarter
due  to  increased  amounts of funds available for investments  and  higher
interest   rates.    The  overall  effective  income  tax   rate   remained
substantially unchanged from the prior period.
