                   Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                       (Unaudited)


          1.    The    accompanying    condensed   consolidated   financial
          statements   and   related   notes  are   unaudited; however,  in
          management's  opinion all adjustments  (consisting  primarily  of
          normal recurring  accruals) necessary for  a fair presentation of
          the  financial  position at August 28, 1994 and  the  results  of
          operations and cash  flows  for the periods shown have been made.
          Such statements are presented in accordance with the requirements
          of Form 10-Q and do not include all disclosures normally required
          by  generally accepted accounting principles  or  those  normally
          made in the Form 10-K.

          2.    The earnings per share are calculated based on the weighted
                average   number  of  common  shares  outstanding.   Shares
                issuable under  outstanding  stock  option, stock grant and
                long-term  incentive compensation plans  are  common  stock
                equivalents,  but  are  not  used in computing earnings per
                share because the dilutive effect would be less than 3%.

          3.    Effective November 29, 1993, the  Company adopted Statement
                of   Financial   Accounting   Standards  (SFAS)   No.   109
                "Accounting for Income Taxes."   The  adoption  of SFAS No.
                109  changed the Company's method of accounting for  income
                taxes  from the deferred method under Accounting Principles
                Board Opinion  No.  11  to an asset and liability approach.
                The effect of adopting SFAS  No.  109  has  been recognized
                immediately  as  the  effect  of  a  change  in  accounting
                principle and increased net income in the first quarter and
                for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 by $795,  or  $.05
                per  share.   Prior  financial  statements  have  not  been
                restated.   The  increase  in  net income results primarily
                from adjusting deferred tax balances to current tax rates.

                The  significant  components  of deferred  tax  assets  and
                liabilities at November 29, 1993 consist of:

          4.    On  August  1,  1994  the Company refinanced a $2.0 million
          industrial development revenue bond that had an original maturity
          date of June 1, 1999 and an original  interest rate of 7.5%.  The
          refinanced bond has one principal payment at maturity on June 15,
          2004.  The interest rate for each quarter will be established  on
          the first day of the quarter at the lower of the ninety day LIBOR
          rate  or 75%  of the prime rate.  The rate in effect as of August
          28, 1994 was 4.813%.

          Item 2.   Management's  Discussions  and  Analysis  of  Financial
                    Condition and Results of Operations


          Financial Condition

          In  the  first nine months of  fiscal 1994, the Company continued
          to enhance  its  already  strong financial condition by improving
          it's working capital position,  increasing it to $59.0 million at
          August 28, 1994 from $47.1 million  at  November  28, 1993, while
          reducing the percentage of debt to equity (down to 3.9% from 5.3%
          at those respective dates).  Cash flows of $6.6 million  provided
          by operating activities in the first nine months of fiscal  1994,
          combined  with  available  cash balances, were sufficient to fund
          additions  to property, plant and equipment of $6.1 million,  pay
          cash dividends of $4.3 million and pay down $1.3 million in debt.

          The Company's current assets  increased  $11.3  million  to $92.2
          million at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1994 from $80.8
          million  at  the  end  of  fiscal  1993  primarily as a result of
          increases  in  inventories  and  accounts  receivable,  partially
          offset  by  a  decrease  in  the cash balance.  The  increase  in
          inventories  to  $37.0 million at  August  28,  1994  from  $28.0
          million at November  28, 1993 was principally attributable to the
          following: the replenishment  of  certain  key inventory items in
          anticipation   of  fall  promotional  sales,  the   purchase   of
          inventories relating  to an exclusive distribution agreement with
          Schwan-STABILO(R) and  additional  inventories for new products.
          The increase in accounts receivable to  $44.2  million at the end
          of the third quarter from $39.5 million at the end of fiscal 1993
          was due to higher sales as well as to an increase  in promotional
          sales  with  extended  payment  terms.  Cash and cash equivalents
          decreased to $4.6 million at August  28,  1994 from $10.8 million
          at November 28, 1993 primarily as a result  of  the  increase  in
          inventories  as  well  as  to  the  payment of cash dividends and
          additions to property, plant and equipment.

          Current liabilities of $33.1 million  at  the  end  of  the third
          quarter  of fiscal 1994 decreased slightly from $33.7 million  at
          the end of  fiscal  1993,  primarily as a result of a decrease in
          the current portion of long-term  debt  offset  by an increase in
          accrued  income taxes.  On June 15, 1994, the Company  refinanced
          $1.6 million  of  industrial  development revenue bonds that were
          due on that date which resulted  in  the reclassification of this
          debt from current to long-term.  The new maturity date is June 5,
          1999.  In addition to the aforementioned,  on  August 1, 1994 the
          Company refinanced a $2.0 million industrial development  revenue
          bond  which  has  one  principal  payment at maturity on June 15,
          2004.  (See Note 5 of "Notes to Condensed  Consolidated Financial
          Statements").

          There  were  no  borrowings  under  the Company's  line-of-credit
          agreements at August 28, 1994.  These  line-of-credit  agreements
          with three banks total $45 million.  Management expects that cash
          generated  from  operations  along  with  available cash balances
          (combined with credit agreements) will be sufficient  to meet the
          Company's currently

          Financial Condition, continued

          anticipated  working  capital  and  other investing and financing
          needs.  Should the Company require additional  funds,  management
          believes that the Company could obtain them at competitive costs.

          Results of Operations

          Net Sales

          Net  sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1994 grew by 16.5%  to
          $75.8  million  from $65.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal
          1993.   In  the first  nine  months  of  fiscal  1994  net  sales
          increased by  14.4%  to $209.3 million from $183.0 million in the
          first nine months of fiscal  1993.   Higher  unit  volume  caused
          these  increases  as selling prices through the third quarter  of
          fiscal 1994 remained  flat  compared  to the first nine months of
          fiscal 1993.   Due to competitive pressures  expected to continue
          through  the remainder of fiscal 1994 and into  1995,  management
          does not expect to achieve significant selling price increases.

          Office products  sales  increased  16.2%  to $42.0 million in the
          third  quarter  and  16.2% to $118.1 million in  the  first  nine
          months of fiscal 1994  compared  to the same fiscal 1993 periods.
          Sales  of  desktop accessories and supplies  were  up  24.8%  and
          16.2%, mechanical  and  electromechanical  products were up 14.3%
          and  14.6% and office furniture was up 14.4%  and  18.8%  in  the
          third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1994, respectively,
          as compared  with the same periods of fiscal 1993.  The Company's
          sales of Schwan-STABILO(R)  writing,  marking and other products
          (the distribution rights to which were acquired  in  fiscal 1993)
          accounted  for  most  of  the  growth in desktop accessories  and
          supplies.  The sales growth in office furniture was due primarily
          to  broadened  distribution  for the  Company's  Bevis(R)  brand
          products, a trend which began  in  fiscal 1993 as a result of the
          consolidation of the Company's office  products  under  one brand
          name.   An  increase  in  sales  of  Boston(R)  brand  products,
          particularly  electric  pencil sharpeners, accounted for most  of
          the growth in mechanical  and electromechanical products.  Export
          sales of office products decreased  by 6.2% in the third quarter,
          but grew by 6.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared
          to  the  same  periods of fiscal 1993, after  adjusting  for  the
          effects of a weaker Canadian dollar.

          Art/craft products  sales  increased by 16.9% to $33.7 million in
          the third quarter and 12.2%  to  $91.2  million in the first nine
          months  of  fiscal 1994 compared to the same  periods  in  fiscal
          1993.  Presentation  graphics  products[1]  continue  to  make  a
          significant  contribution  to  sales  in  the  art/craft segment.
          Sales in this product class grew 26.8% in the third  quarter  and
          22.6%  in  the  first  nine months of fiscal 1994 from the fiscal
          1993 amounts for the same  periods.   These  increases are due to
          higher sales of Seal(R) brand mounting and

               [1]  Mounting and laminating products were renamed
          "presentation graphics" in the first quarter of fiscal 1994 to
          better describe an expanded product offering in this major
          product class.

          Results of Operations, continued

          laminating  equipment,  including  sales  of  products  of  Image
          Technologies,  Inc.  (acquired  in  the third quarter  of  fiscal
          1993), and Bienfang(R) brand foam board.   Sales  of hobby/craft
          products also increased, growing by 13.5% and 2.7% for  the third
          quarter  and first nine months of fiscal 1994, respectively,  but
          were partially  offset  by lower sales of art supplies (down 3.5%
          in the third quarter and  6.5% in the first nine months of fiscal
          1994) when compared to the  same  periods  in  fiscal  1993.  The
          declining  sales of art supplies was largely the result of  lower
          sales of X-Acto(R)  brand  products,  a  trend  which management
          believes  is  likely  to  continue.   Export  sales  of art/craft
          products grew 20.9% in the third quarter and 7.5% for  the  first
          nine  months  of  fiscal  1994  (after adjusting for the exchange
          effect of a weaker Canadian dollar).   The increase for the third
          quarter was due to higher export sales to  the  Far  East, Europe
          and Latin America.  Foreign sales of art/craft products increased
          substantially,  by  growing 62.2% in the third quarter and  45.1%
          for the first nine months  of  fiscal  1994  when compared to the
          same fiscal periods in 1993.  These increases  were due primarily
          to higher sales of presentation graphics products  in  the United
          Kingdom largely as a result of new products and improved economic
          conditions.

          Sales to date for the fourth quarter are running at the same level
          as the comparable  period in fiscal  1993 fourth quarter, which is
          below the rate experienced  in  the third quarter of fiscal 1994.

          Gross Profit

          The Company's gross profit margin decreased to 38.7% of net sales
          in  the  third  quarter  of  fiscal  1994 from 39.5% in the third
          quarter of fiscal 1993 and decreased to  39.3%  in the first nine
          months of fiscal year 1994 from 39.8% in the first nine months of
          fiscal year 1993.  These decreases were primarily  the  result of
          changes  in  product  sales  mix  and  higher  raw material costs
          combined  with  flat  selling  prices.   Higher costs  for  wood,
          plastic  and  corrugated  packaging  materials  are  expected  to
          continue in the fourth quarter of 1994 and into 1995.

          Selling, Shipping, Administrative and General Expenses

          Selling and shipping expenses increased to 20.2% of net sales for
          the third quarter  of fiscal 1994 from 19.9% in the third quarter
          of fiscal 1993, and remained essentially  flat  at   20.7% of net
          sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1994 compared  to 20.9%
          in the first nine months of fiscal 1993.  The higher rate for the
          third  quarter  was largely due to start up costs for advertising
          and promotional literature  relating  to  the  Schwan-STABILO(R)
          product  line.  For the first nine months of fiscal  1994,  these
          costs were offset by lower sales force commissions as a result of
          changes in customer sales mix.

          Administrative  and  general  expenses  were  up  14.3%,  or  $.9
          million,  in the third quarter and 13.9%, or $2.5 million, in the
          first nine months of fiscal 1994 as compared to the prior year

          Selling, Shipping, Administrative and General Expenses, continued

          expense levels  for  the  same  periods.   These  increases  were
          largely  a  result  of  higher  management incentive compensation
          related  to  the  improvement  in  earnings  and  investments  in
          management training and new product development.

          Provision for Income Taxes

          The Company's effective tax rate decreased to 36.5% for the third
          quarter and first nine months of fiscal  1994  from the 39.1% and
          37.8% rates incurred in the third quarter and first  nine  months
          of  fiscal 1993, respectively.   This decrease was the result  of
          several  factors  including  lower  state and local effective tax
          rates and profitability improvements  by the European operations,
          which utilize net operating loss carryforwards.

          Accounting Change

          The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS  No.  109, "Accounting
          for Income Taxes," the cumulative effect of which  increased  net
          income  by  $.8  million,  or  $.05 per share, for the first nine
          months of fiscal 1994.
