              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which
the Company considers necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations, and cash flows for the interim periods.

The results of operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with instructions
to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and notes
necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  For additional information regarding significant
accounting policies and other financial data see the Company's December 31,
1994 Form 10-K.

segment effective as of March 31, 1994 for a cash sales price of $15,875,000.
For 1994 the gain on disposal of the segment of $3,835,000 after income tax
credits, or $1.02 per share ($2,999,000 pretax), includes other income and
costs incurred in connection with the disposal.  For 1994 net sales were
$4,788,000 and income from operations was $120,000 net of applicable income
taxes of $100,000.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

BALANCE SHEET

The Company's strong financial condition and liquidity continue as reflected
in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  Cash and short-term
investments represented 33% of total assets at September 30, 1995 compared to
30% at December 31, 1994.  The ratio of current assets to current liabilities
was 3.1 at September 30, 1995 compared to 3.4 at December 31, 1994.  The
changes in the various components of working capital arose from the higher
level of business activity.

INCOME STATEMENT

Comparison Between Three-Month and Nine-Month Periods Ended September 30,
1995 and 1994

Net sales increased 13% between the third quarters and 20% between the nine
months of each year.  As anticipated the very strong sales growth of the
first half slowed somewhat in the third quarter.  In the bonded fibers
segment order softness continued in writing instrument components and, in the
plastic products segment, industry-wide order softness occurred in  the
plastic extrusion operations offset by a very substantial sales increase at
the Canadian flexible packaging operation.

Investment income increased 19% between the third quarters and 32% between
the nine months of each year primarily as a result of improved yields.

Costs and expenses increased 11% between the third quarters and 19% between
the nine months of each year which were generally in line with the sales
increases.  Cost of products sold from normal operations increased at a
higher rate than sales as a result of shifts in the mix of products sold, but
was more than offset by a one-time recovery of costs at the Canadian flexible
packaging company from settling litigation amounting to approximately
$1,200,000 pretax.  Selling, research, administrative and general expenses
increased at a lesser rate than sales.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
The combination of the above factors resulted in pretax income increases of
43% between the third quarters and 41% between the nine months of each year
including the one-time recovery of costs.

Income taxes increased 34% between the third quarters and 38% between the
nine months of each year.  The recovery of costs by the Canadian flexible
packaging company offset prior quarters' losses resulting in a lower estimate
of effective tax rates for the third quarter and nine-month periods.
Therefore, income from continuing operations and related earnings per share
increased by 48% and 49% between the third quarters and 43% and 44% between
the nine months of each year.  Without the one-time recovery of costs income
from continuing operations and earnings per share would have increased 6% and
8% between the third quarters and 28% and 29% between the nine months of each
year.

In 1994 reported income of the discontinued industrial filtration segment for
the nine-month period was approximately $4,000,000 or $1.05 per share which
included modest earnings prior to the sale.  See Note C for additional
information.
