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


OVERVIEW
Net sales increased 2% in the second quarter and 3% in the first six months of
the 1996 fiscal year  when compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal
year.  Net income and earnings per share increased 5% in the second quarter when
compared to the strong second quarter of the prior year and increased 3% in the
first six months of the 1996 fiscal year when compared with the same period one
year earlier.  Earnings per share matched the record-high quarterly earnings per
share amount of 59 cents per share.  Cash flow, excluding the purchases and
maturities of short-term investments, was a positive $9 million for the six
month period.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 COMPARED TO
THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994
Net sales for the second quarter of the 1996 fiscal year were $234,539,000, an
increase of 2% when compared to the second quarter of the prior year.  Net sales
for the first six months of the 1996 fiscal year were $453,472,000, an increase
of 3% above the same period one year earlier.

Overall sales in the Company's largest segment, Furniture and Cabinets, equaled
last year's level for the three and six month periods.  In the office furniture
product line, sales of systems office furniture  were restrained from potential
growth due to production capacity constraints.  The Company is in the process of
dedicating to this product line an existing facility, which was previously used
by another segment, with production start-up anticipated in the third quarter. 
Operating income in the office furniture product line declined for the three and
six month periods due to an unfavorable shift in product mix and certain
facility preparation costs which were partially offset by cost reductions
initiatives.  The Company's steel office furniture production facility incurred
reduced losses and continues to improve efficiencies since its start-up in the
prior fiscal year.  Increased selling costs are currently being incurred on this
part of the product line to expand into selected new markets and offer these
products as part of an integrated office furniture solution.  Sales of Original
Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) product lines, primarily television cabinets and
residential furniture, increased in the second quarter when compared to one year
earlier due to product rescheduling shifted from the first quarter as requested
by certain customers.  Rescheduling and production flexibility are inherent in
the OEM supplier market and may cause short-term fluctuations in any given
quarter.  On a year-to-date basis, OEM sales are above the prior year levels. 
Operating profits for both periods on OEM products are lower when compared to
the prior year, due primarily to an unfavorable sales mix towards lower margin 
products.  Sales of hospitality furniture increased in the three and six month
periods when compared to the same periods one year earlier due to greater
volumes of standard high-end products targeted to the hospitality renovation
market.  These additional volumes increased operating profits in the second
quarter, and were offset with product offering expansion costs when comparing
the six month period to the year earlier period.  The Company's European
subsidiaries were profitable in the second quarter and approached break-even
results for the six month period as compared to operating losses in both periods
of the prior year, due primarily to the benefits derived from the combining of
two production facilities into one at the end of the prior fiscal year and other
manufacturing efficiency improvements.

Sales in the Company's second largest segment, Electronic Contract Assemblies,
grew 17% for the second quarter and 23% for the first six months of the 1996
fiscal year when compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year.  

Incremental sales for both periods were due to higher volumes from existing
automotive and telecommunication customers in addition to products manufactured
for new computer customers.  This sales growth occurred primarily at the
Company's Mexican facility which focuses on computer and peripheral products,
despite purchasing limitations on certain raw material components.  Operating
profits increased in the three and six month periods from the same periods one
year earlier due primarily to the re-engineering of assembly and supporting
processes which allowed the Company to operate with less facility square footage
while manufacturing these increased volumes.  Included in this segment is one
customer which accounted for 14% of consolidated revenue in the current fiscal
year and 13% in the prior fiscal year, for both the three and six month periods
ended December 31.

Net sales in the Company's smallest segment, Processed Wood Products and Other,
declined 28% from the prior year's three month period and 27% from the six month
period, due in part to the Company reducing its production capacity of processed
wood products sold to outside customers.  Sales of plastic components also
declined from the prior year levels for the three and six month periods due to
customer order cancellations.  Operating income in this segment declined for the
three and six month periods when compared to the prior year, reflecting the
lower sales volumes. 

Consolidated cost of sales as a percent of sales increased 0.7 percentage point
for the second quarter and increased 1.6 percentage points for the six month
period when compared to the prior year, due to an unfavorable change in product
mix to products which carry a higher material content.  Partial relief was
obtained through reduced labor and overhead costs, as a percent of sales, which
were made possible through re-engineering and cost reduction initiatives. 
Consolidated selling, general and administrative expense as a percent of sales
declined 0.6 percentage point for the three month period and 0.9 percentage
point for the six month period when compared to the prior year, due in part to
cost reduction initiatives.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 was $17,404,000, an increase of
1% when compared to the second quarter of 1995 due in part to reduced selling,
general and administrative expenses which more than offset an unfavorable sales
mix.  Operating income for the six month period was $28,100,000, a decrease of
7% when compared to the same period in the prior year, due in part to an
unfavorable sales mix being partially offset by lower selling, general and
administrative expenses.

Investment income increased in the three and six month periods when compared to
the same periods in the previous year due primarily to higher average investment
balances.  Other, net increased in the six month period when compared to the
prior year due primarily to gains realized on the sale of certain assets.

The effective income tax rate decreased 1.0 percentage point in the second
quarter and 1.6 percentage points in the six month period when compared to the
prior year due primarily to European operating losses which provided no tax
benefit in the prior year.

The Company achieved net income of $12,291,000 or 59 cents per share for the
second quarter of the 1996 fiscal year, a 5% increase over the prior year's
strong second quarter income of $11,660,000.  Net income for the first six

                                      - 9 -
<PAGE>
months of the 1996 fiscal year totaled $20,709,000 or 99 cents per share,
a 3% increase over the same period in the prior year of $20,083,000 or 95
cents per share.  Earnings per share for the quarter tied an all-time record
quarterly earnings per share amount.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments totaled $122 million at
December 31, 1995 as compared to $87 million one year earlier.  Working capital
and the current ratio continued to be a strong $211 million and 3.0 to 1,
respectively, at December 31, 1995 as compared to $192 million and 3.0 to 1,
respectively, one year earlier.

The Company generated $9 million of positive cash flow in the six months ended
December 31, 1995, excluding purchases and maturities of short-term investments.
Net cash flow generated from operations amounted to $34 million for the six
month period ended December 31, 1995.  The Company reinvested $19 million in
capital investments for the future, primarily in the areas of production
equipment upgrades, facility conversion costs for planned redeployment, and
facility and trucking fleet upgrades. $11 million was used for financing
activities, primarily to pay dividends.

The Company anticipates maintaining a strong liquidity position throughout the
1996 fiscal year with cash needs being met by cash flows provided by operations,
cash balances and short-term investments on hand.  Based upon the Company's
strong financial condition and ability to generate cash, management believes
that there is a substantial amount of unused short-term and long-term borrowing
capacity which could be utilized, if necessary.

     accordance therewith, shares held jointly by three (3) or more fiduciaries
     shall be voted in accordance with the will of the majority and, where the
     fiduciaries or a majority of them cannot agree or where they are equally
     divided upon the questions of voting such shares, any Court of general
     equity jurisdiction may, upon petition filed by any of such fiduciaries or
     by any party in interest, direct the voting of such shares as it may deem
     for the best interest of the beneficiaries, and such shares shall be voted
     in accordance with such direction.  Shares that are pledged may, unless
     otherwise provided in the agreement of pledge, be voted by the stockholder
     pledging the same until the shares have been transferred to the pledgee on
     the books of the corporation, and, thereafter, they may be voted by the
     pledgee.

     transfer book shall make, at least five (5) days before each election of

     inspection by any stockholder.  Such list shall be produced and kept open
     at the time and place of election and subject to the inspection of any
     stockholder during the holding of such election.  The original stock
     register or transfer book, or a duplicate thereof kept in the State of

     Section 1 - The officers and employees of the corporation shall, in the

ARTICLE XIV:  INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1 - Every person (and the heirs, executors and administrators of such
person) who is or was a director or officer of this corporation or of any
subsidiary of this corporation or who, at the request of the Board of Directors
of this corporation, served in any position or capacity or on any committee for
this corporation or for or in any other corporation, partnership, association,
trust, foundation, not-for-profit corporation, employee benefit plan or other
organization or entity, shall be indemnified by the corporation against any and
all liability and reasonable expense that may be incurred by him in connection
with or resulting from any claim, action, suit or proceeding in which either (i)
such person is wholly successful, thereby entitling such person to Mandatory
Indemnification, or (ii) such person is not wholly successful but it is
nevertheless determined, pursuant to the procedures set forth below in Section 2

                                                                   Exhibit 3(b)

of this Article XIV of these By-laws, that such person acted in good faith and
that such person reasonably believed that (a) in the case of conduct in his
official capacity, his conduct was in the corporation's best interests, or (b)
in all other cases, his conduct was at least not opposed to the best interests
of such corporation, entity or organization, and, in addition with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, either had reasonable cause to believe his
conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was
unlawful, thereby entitling such person to Permissive Indemnification.  A person
shall be considered to have been serving an employee benefit plan at the request
of the corporation if his duties to the corporation also impose duties on, or
otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or to participants in or
beneficiaries of the plan.  The terms "claim", "action", "suit" or "proceeding"
shall mean and include any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit
or proceeding (whether brought by or in the right of the corporation of any
other corporation or otherwise), and all appeals thereof, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative, formal or informal, in which any
person described in the first sentence of this section may become involved as a
party or otherwise:

(a) by reason of his being or having been a director or officer of the
    corporation, or of any subsidiary corporation of the corporation, or of any
    other corporation where he served as such at the request of the corporation,
    or 

(b) by reason of his acting or having acted in any position or capacity or on
    any committee for this corporation or any subsidiary corporation of this
    corporation, or in any position or capacity in or for a partnership,
    association, trust, foundation, not-for-profit corporation, employee benefit
    plan or other organization or entity where he served as such at the request
    of the corporation, or

(c) by reason of any action taken or not taken by him in any such capacity,
    whether or not he continues in such capacity at the time such liability or
    expense shall have been incurred.

The terms "liability" and "expenses" shall include, but shall not be limited to,
counsel fees and disbursements and amounts of judgements, fines or penalties
against, and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of, a person, and excise
taxes assessed with respect to an employee benefit plan, but shall not in any
event include any liability or expenses on account of profits realized by him in
the purchase or sale of securities of the corporation.  The term "wholly
successful" shall mean (a) termination of any action, suit or proceeding against
the person in question without any finding of liability or guilt against him,
(b) the expiration of a reasonable period of time after the making of any claim
or threat of an action, suit or proceeding without the institution of the same,
without any payment or promise made to induce a settlement, or (c) approval by a
court, with knowledge of the indemnity herein provided, of a settlement of any
claim, action, suit or proceeding.  The termination of any claim, action, suit
or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court
approval), or conviction or upon a plea of guilty or of nolo contendere, or its
equivalent, shall not by itself create a presumption that a person did not meet

                                                                   Exhibit 3(b)
<PAGE>
<PAGE>

the standards of conduct for Permissive Indemnification.  The actions of a
person with respect to an employee benefit plan subject to the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 shall be deemed to have been taken in
what the person reasonably believed to be the best interests of the corporation
if the person reasonably believed he was acting in conformity with the
requirements of such Act or he reasonably believed his actions to be in the
interests of the participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

Section 2 - With regard to Permissive Indemnification, the determination that a
person acted in good faith and that such person reasonably believed that (a) in
the case of conduct in his official capacity, his conduct was in the
corporation's best interests, or (b) in all other cases, his conduct was at
least not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, in addition,
with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, either had reasonable cause
to believe that his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe
that his conduct was unlawful with regard to a specific claim, action, suit or
proceeding in or as to which such person is not wholly successful shall be made
by or for the Board of Directors of the corporation in the manner herinafter
described.  Any requests for such indemnification must first be proposed to the
Board of Directors of the corporation, and a motion for such indemnification may
be made by any director of the corporation, including a director who is seeking
such indemnification for himself.  If a quorum of directors eligible to decide 
the matter exists within the limitations and requirements of I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b)
(1), such directors may either (i) decide the question themselves; (ii) refer
the matter to Special Legal Counsel for decision pursuant to I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b)
(3) (A); or (iii) decline to take any action to either decide the question of
such indemnification or refer the matter for decision to Special Legal Counsel. 
If there does not exist a quorum of directors eligible to decide the matter
within the limitations and requirements of I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b) (1), a majority
of the entire Board of Directors may either (i) refer the matter to a committee
of two or more directors who are eligible to vote thereon pursuant to I.C.
23-1-37-12 (b) (2) who may either decide the matter themselves or refer the
matter to Special Legal Counsel for decision pursuant to I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b) (3)
(A); (ii) if such a committee cannot be appointed, refer the matter to Special
Legal Counsel pursuant to the procedures described in I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b) (3)
(B); or (iii) decline to take any action to refer the matter of such
indemnification to a committee or to Special Legal Counsel.  Any decision on the
question of entitlement to such Permissive Indemnification by a majority of a
quorum of the Board of Directors eligible to vote pursuant to I.C. 23-1-37-12
(b) (1); by a special committee of eligible directors pursuant to I.C.
23-1-37-12 (b) (2); or by Special Legal Counsel duly appointed pursuant to the
provisions of I.C. 23-1-37-12 (b) (3), shall be in the sole and absolute
discretion of such person or persons who are to make such determination.  If it
is determined and decided that such Permissive Indemnification should be given
in a specific situation, the authorization for such indemnification and a
determination of the amount thereof shall be made in accordance with the
procedures and requirements of I. C. 23-1-37-12 (c).  For purposes of this
Section 2, Permissive Indemnification shall be deemed to have been denied (i) if
a majority of any group of persons who are to decide the question do not vote in
favor of the proposed indemnification; (ii) if the Board of Directors or any 
committee thereof declines to take any permitted action to either decide the

                                                                   Exhibit 3(b)

question, refer it to a committee, or refer it to Special Legal Counsel; (iii)
if no decision is made by the person or persons who were to decide such question
within a period of six (6) months after such indemnification was first proposed
to the Board of Directors of the corporation; or (iv) to the extent that the
dollar amount of any indemnification to be made by the corporation is less than
the total dollar amount of indemnification proposed or requested to be made.  If
proposed Permissive Indemnification is denied, the question may not be
reconsidered at any subsequent time by the corporation.

Section 3 - Expenses incurred with respect to any claim, action, suit or
proceeding may be advanced by the corporation (by action of the Board of
Directors, whether or not a disinterested quorum exists) prior to the final
disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the 
recipient to repay such amount unless he is entitled to indemnification under
this Article of these By-laws.

Section 4 - The rights of mandatory and Permissive Indemnification provided in
this Article of the By-laws shall be in addition to any rights to which any such
person may otherwise be entitled by contract, as matter of law, or pursuant to
I.C. 23-1-37.  Any person claiming the right to indemnification pursuant to any
provisions of these By-laws may at any time apply for indemnification to or seek
review of any decision denying indemnification or determining the amount thereof
by a court pursuant to I.C. 23-1-37-11.  Persons who are not directors or
officers of the corporation but who are directors or officers of any subsidiary
may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by
the Board of Directors.

Section 5 - Irrespective of the provisions of this Article of the By-laws, the
Board of Directors may, at any time or from time to time, approve
indemnification of directors and officers or other persons to the full extent
permitted by the provisions of the Indiana Business Corporation Law at the time
in effect, whether on account of past or future transactions.

Section 6 - To the extent not inconsistent with Indiana law as in effect from
time to time, the Board of Directors may, at any time or from time to time,
approve the purchase and maintenance of insurance on behalf of any person
described in the first sentence of Section 1 of this Article XIV against any
liability asserted against him in his capacity or arising out of his status as
such a person, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify
him under the provisions of this Article of the By-laws.  In the event that any
expense or liability otherwise subject to indemnification hereunder is covered
entirely or in part by any insurance, the indemnification provided for by this
Article of these By-laws shall only be available, if at all, as to any uninsured
liability or expense or that portion which is in excess of the amount of all
available insurance coverage.  Under no circumstances shall any insurer or other
person making payment under such an insurance policy or contract be subrogated
to the rights of any person entitled to indemnification under this Article of
these By-laws.

Section 7 - Any and all references contained in Article XIV of these By-laws to
any provision, section, subsection or portion of the Indiana Code (I.C.) shall

                                                                   Exhibit 3(b)

mean the Indiana Code as the same existed on December 9, 1986, and no subsequent
amendment, repeal, modification, change, or judicial invalidation of any
provision of the Indiana Code subsequent to December 9, 1986, shall alter,
modify, or otherwise affect these By-laws, and these By-laws shall be construed
and interpreted under the statutory law of the State of Indiana as it existed as
of the date of adoption of these By-laws.

Section 8 - The indemnification herein required or permitted by these amended
indemnification By-laws shall be a contractual obligation, undertaking and
commitment of the corporation as to any person who either continued to serve or
commenced to serve, following the date of the adoption of these amended
indemnification By-laws, as a director or officer of this corporation or any
subsidiary of this corporation, or in any other position or capacity, at the
request of this corporation or any subsidiary corporation, on any committee,
partnership, association, trust, foundation, not-for-profit corporation,
employee benefit, plan, or other organization or entity, and no subsequent
amendment or repeal of these By-laws and no judicial decision invalidating the
legislation authorizing the indemnification provided for by these By-laws or
invalidating all or any part of these indemnification By-laws shall in any
manner deny, diminish, limit, restrict, or qualify the indemnification herein
provided for, for any such person who so continued to serve or commenced to
serve with regard to any claim concerning any matter which occurred, which
commenced to occur, or which continued to occur subsequent to the adoption of
these amended indemnification By-laws and prior to any such amendment, repeal,
or judicial invalidation.
