ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
         -------------------------------------------------

     On December 31, 1959, members of the families of the Reporting Persons (ii)
through (vii) listed in Item 2 hereof, including trusts established by those
persons and/or for their benefit and other entities controlled by them, acquired
approximately 2,000,000 shares of convertible preference stock of the Issuer
("Preference Stock") pursuant to a merger between the Issuer and Material
Service Corporation.  Commencing in 1961, various amounts of the Preference
Stock were convertible into 21.14 shares of Common Stock (adjusted for
subsequent stock splits on February 19, 1979, October 17, 1980, March 4, 1994,
and March 4, 1998).  On July 30, 1965 and April 15, 1966, 875,866 shares and
781,442 shares, respectively, of Preference Stock were purchased by the Issuer
for approximately $62.00 per share.  By 1966, all of the remaining shares of
Preference Stock were convertible into shares of Common Stock.

     The Reporting Persons (ii) through (xi) listed in Item 2 hereof, members of
their families and certain trusts established by those persons and/or for their
benefit and other entities (collectively, the "Reporting Person Family
Entities") have, from time to time, acquired shares of the Common Stock of the
Issuer through private and open market transactions, the exercise of stock
options, awards of restricted stock, gifts from other members of their families,
distributions from various estates and liquidations of various other entities
holding such shares.  In addition, the Reporting Persons (ii) through (xi)
listed in Item 2 hereof, members of their families and the Reporting Person
Family Entities have also, from time to time, sold or otherwise disposed of
shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer through private and open market
transactions, gifts and/or liquidations of various entities holding such shares.
On July 13, 1992, certain of the Reporting Persons and Reporting Person Family
Entities sold an aggregate of 4,900,000 shares of Common Stock for approximately
$18.06 per share (adjusted for subsequent stock splits on March 4, 1994 and
March 4, 1998) to the Issuer in connection with the Issuer's Offer to Purchase
dated June 10, 1992.

     The Reporting Persons have used available cash and, from time to time,
borrowings to acquire such shares.  Specifically, the Reporting Persons and the
Reporting Person Family Entities have borrowed from other members of the
Reporting Persons' families and the Reporting Person Family Entities.  These
loans have been generally unsecured, bearing interest at the prevailing rates
charged by brokers to borrowers.  In addition, the Reporting Persons and the
Reporting Person Family Entities have, from time to time, borrowed from brokers
through margin accounts at prevailing interest rates, upon customary terms and
conditions, including the pledge of the acquired securities.  These borrowings
have generally related to all securities owned by such persons eligible for
margin.

     Finally, on one occasion two entities in which each of the Reporting
Persons (ii) through (xi) listed in Item 2 hereof are general partners of one or
both of such entities financed its acquisition of shares of Common Stock by
borrowings from The First National Bank of Chicago and secured such funds by
pledging the securities acquired.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
         ----------------------

     As of October 13, 1998, Longview entered into investment advisory
agreements pursuant to which it agreed to provide investment advisory services
to certain individuals and entities beneficially owning all of the shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer reported by Longview hereunder, including certain of
the Reporting Persons and Reporting Person Family Entities.  Mr. C. Goodman is
the President of Longview and serves as its chief executive officer.  Mr.
Grossman, not individually but solely as Trustee of The Edward Trust, is the
sole equity owner of Longview.  The other Reporting Persons hereunder
beneficially own shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reported hereunder either
directly and/or as trustees or general partners of certain entities which own
shares of Common Stock, none of which entities individually own more than 5% of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.  Such Reporting Persons and the
other entities owning shares of Common Stock reported hereunder acquired such
shares for investment purposes.  Depending on market conditions and other
factors that the Reporting Persons may deem material to their investment
decision, the Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares of Common Stock
in the open market or in private transactions.  Depending on these same factors,
the Reporting Persons may sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such persons in the open market or in private
transactions.  None of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any other
person named in Item 2 above, has any plans or proposals which relate to or
would result in any of the events or transactions described in Item 4(a) - (j)
of Schedule 13D.  However, Messrs. C. Goodman, L. Crown and J. Crown are members
of the board of directors of the Issuer and, in such capacity, may from time to
time be asked to review or consider such plans or proposals.
