                    ARROW-MAGNOLIA INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                               COMMON STOCK

        Of the shares offered hereby, 115,200 shares were offered and sold by 
the Company and 50,000 shares have been or may be acquired and resold by the
holder of a warrant to purchase Common Stock.  The Company, solely through 
its Directors and officers, offered shares on a best efforts basis.  No 
minimum amount of shares to be sold was specified as a condition to 
completion of any sales.  However, the Company completed sales for a total 
of 115,200 shares before terminating its offering.   

        The warrant holder may offer shares for sale from time to time at prices
prevailing in the public market on the date of sale.  Through July 31, 1996, 
the warrant holder had sold 19,000 shares.  The proceeds to the Company 
reflected in this prospectus include amounts to be received upon purchase of
shares offered directly by the Company and upon exercise of the warrant, but 
not any additional amounts which may be received by the warrant holder upon 
resale of the Common Stock which may be acquired by it.

        The Common Stock of the Company is traded in the over-the-counter 
market.  On August 5, 1996, the last price as reported on the NASDAQ SmallCap
Market was $4.50 per share.  See "Price Range of Common Stock and Dividend 
Policy."
                                        

The Common Stock offered hereby involves a high degree of risk.  See "Risk 
Factors."

                                THE COMPANY

     Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc. (the "Company" or "Arrow-
Magnolia") manufactures and distributes approximately 400 specialty
chemical products for use in cleaning and maintaining equipment and
general maintenance and sanitation.  The Company's manufacturing
operations blend, to the Company's specifications and according to
the Company's procedures, a variety of chemicals to create the
Company's products. The Company packages products that it blends or
manufactures and, in addition, purchases products that have been
blended or manufactured and then packaged under the Company's
labels by third parties. The Company also distributes certain
nonchemical products, such as paper and other janitorial supplies,
related to its chemical products. The Company's products, including
its nonchemical products, are marketed throughout the United
States, Canada and other countries to a variety of consumers,
including customers in the aircraft industry, the construction
industry and the telecommunications industry.

     The Company was incorporated in the State of Texas in 1937. 
Its executive offices are located at 2646 Rodney Lane, Dallas,
Texas 75229 and its telephone number is (214) 247-7111.   


                               RISK FACTORS

     The following factors should be considered carefully, in
addition to the other information in this Prospectus, in evaluating
an investment in the Company's Common Stock:

     Dependence Upon Key Personnel.   Morris Shwiff has been President
and Chief Executive Officer of Arrow-Magnolia since 1985 and was
President of a predecessor corporation for 17 years prior to that
time.  Mr. Mark Kenner has been Executive Vice President of Arrow-
Magnolia since 1985 and held similar positions with its predecessor
corporation for 17 years prior to that time.  Messrs. Shwiff and
Kenner have been primarily responsible for directing the corporate
strategy which has determined Arrow-Magnolia's growth.  The loss of
either of these individuals could have an adverse effect on the
Company. See "Management - Directors and Executive Officers."  

     Size and Competition.   The business of the Company is highly competi-
tive in all of its phases and two companies are significantly
larger than other companies engaged in its industry.  However, the
industry in which the Company competes is very fragmented, and no
single firm or group of firms dominates the industry as a whole. 
The total sales volume of the Company's products constitutes only
a very minor portion of the total available market.  See "Business
- - Competition." 
<PAGE>
     Possible Volatility of Stock Price.   The price of the Common Stock may be
subject to wide fluctuations and possible rapid increases or
declines in a short time period.  These fluctuations may be due to
factors specific to the Company such as variations in quarterly
operating results or changes in earnings estimates, or to factors
relating to its industry or to the securities markets in general. 
Investors in the Company's Common Stock should be willing to incur
the risk of such fluctuations.

     Limited Marketability; Shares Eligible for Sale.  Although the Common 
Stock has occasionally traded in the over-the-counter market, it is sporadi-
cally traded at low volumes.  Sales of substantial amounts of
Common Stock in the public market after the offering could
significantly affect the market price of the Company's Common
Stock.  See "Price Range of Common Stock and  Dividend Policy" and
"Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

     Best Efforts Offering; No Minimum.  The shares being offered by the
Company will be sold solely through the efforts of the Company's
Directors and officers on a best efforts basis, and no minimum
number of shares sold has been specified as a condition to
completing any sale.  As a result, the Company may complete sales
for only part of the total number of shares offered by the Company,
which may be for any amount of shares up to the total of 200,000. 
If one or more investors elects to purchase shares, no assurance
can be given that other subscribers will invest or that the Company
will receive any specific amount of proceeds from this offering. 
Further, the Company may elect to discontinue its offering at any
time, whether or not all or any portion of the shares offered
hereby are sold.

     Voting Control.  Messrs. Shwiff, Kenner and Kenner, the present
Directors and officers of Arrow-Magnolia, currently own beneficial-
ly 75% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock and, assuming all
shares to be offered by the Company are sold, will own beneficially
approximately 68.5% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. 
Therefore, these individuals will continue to exercise practical
control over the affairs of the Company.

      Directors Liability Limited.  Under the Company's Articles of Incorpora-
tion, Directors of Arrow-Magnolia cannot be held liable to the
Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or
omission in the Director's capacity as a Director except (i) for
any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its
shareholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which
involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)
for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper
personal benefit, (iv) for an act or omission for which the
liability of a Director is expressly provided for by statute, or
(v) for an act related to an unlawful stock repurchase or payment
of a dividend.  This provision does not affect the liability of any
Director under federal or applicable state securities laws.
<PAGE>
     Indemnification of Officers and Directors.  The Bylaws of the Company 
provide for indemnification of officers and Directors to the full extent
permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act.  Arrow-Magnolia
may be required to pay certain judgments, fines and expenses
incurred by an officer or Director, including reasonable attorneys'
fees, as a result of actions or proceedings in which such officers
and Directors are involved by reason of being or having been an
officer or Director.
  

                              USE OF PROCEEDS

     The net proceeds received by the Company from the issuance and
sale have totaled approximately $250,000.  The offering was
conducted on a best efforts basis with no specific minimum
required.  The Company reserved the ability to discontinue is
offering at any time.  See "Risk Factors - Best Efforts Offering;
No Minimum."

     The Company intends to use the entire amount of the net pro-
ceeds to increase working capital and shareholders equity.  These
additional resources will be applied to obtain further growth of
the Company, either through improvement of the sales effort
internally or through the acquisition of other companies engaged in
similar or complementary businesses.  Although the Company has
sought to identify potential acquisition candidates and has entered
discussions with companies from time to time, it currently has no
binding commitment to acquire any business or company.

     In addition, successful completion of the offering permitted
the Company to apply for quotation of the Common Stock on the
NASDAQ SmallCap Market.  Upon completion of its offering, the
Company met the listing criteria for inclusion on the NASDAQ
SmallCap Market. Such listing has been successfully accomplished. 
See "Principal and Selling Stockholders."

                            AND DIVIDEND POLICY


     The Company's common stock is traded in the over-the-counter
market, but such trading occurs sporadically and in relatively
small volumes.  See "Risk Factors - Possible Volatility of Stock
Price," "Risk Factors - Limited Marketability; Shares Eligible for
Sale" and "Shares Eligible for Future Sale."

     Since April 1995, the Company's common stock has been included
for quotation on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board under the trading
symbol "ARWM".  The following table sets forth the high and low
sales prices and volume of trading in the common stock for each
month since such inclusion:

               High      Low       Share Volume

May 1995       2         1 3/16    62,400
April 1995     1 3/4     1 3/4      2,000


     The approximate number of record holders of the Company's
Common Stock as of September 26, 1995 was 400.
     
     The Company has paid no cash dividends with respect to its
Common Stock since 1988, when it paid a dividend of $0.05 per
share.  The Company currently intends to retain any earnings for
use in its business and does not anticipate paying any cash
dividends in the foreseeable future.

States, Canada and other countries to a variety of consumers,
including customers in the aircraft industry, the construction
industry and the telecommunications industry, which collectively
accounted for approximately 35% of the Company's sales during 1994. 
No single customer accounted for as much as 10% of its total net
sales during 1994 or 1993. 

     The products sold by the Company include aircraft coatings,
cleaners, corrosion preventatives, degreasers, and air fresheners;
construction chemicals such as release agents, concrete strippers,
safety solvents, custom lubricants and rust reconverters; and
telecommunication formulations such as refinishers, cable cleaners,
graffiti removers and fiber optic lubricants.  Other sanitation and
maintenance products sold by the Company include soaps, deodorants,
germicides, insecticides, disinfectants and miscellaneous janitori-
al supplies.  Nonchemical products sold by the Company include
mops, brooms, paper products and poly liners.  The Company's
products are designed and packaged for large-scale users rather
than individual household consumers.

     The Company currently manufactures certain of its products in
order to give the Company greater control over its inventory in
terms of quality and availability of goods. Cost savings are also
effected through elimination of outside vendor overhead and profit
and through reductions in the cost of carrying finished goods
inventory versus raw materials. Currently the Company manufactures
approximately 60% of its products (measured by 1994 sales expressed
in dollars).  The raw materials necessary for manufacture of the
Company's products and the finished products resold by the Company
are readily available from numerous sources and the Company is not
dependent on any particular supplier for these items.
<PAGE>
     The Company markets its products primarily through its own
sales persons and independent contractors and manufacturers' repre-
sentatives. In addition, the Company exhibits its products at trade
shows. The Company attends, on a regular basis, approximately six
trade shows.  The Company has no material backlog of orders for its
products. 

     The Company does not incur any material costs in complying
with applicable environmental laws.



Competition

     The business of the Company is highly competitive in all of
its phases. However, the industry in which the Company competes is
very fragmented and, although two companies are significantly
larger than other companies engaged in this industry, no single
firm or group of firms dominates the industry as a whole.  Further,
the total sales volume of the Company's products constitutes only
a very minor portion of the total available market.

     The principal methods of competition in the business of the
Company are sales personnel, price, quality and delivery capabil-
ity. The Company competes with numerous other companies, both
domestic and foreign, and with major chemical companies that have
many products that are substantially similar to those sold by the
Company.  Due to the substantial similarity in available products
and technology, product differentiation and preference is largely
a function of the sales effort.  Management therefore believes that
the Company is able to compete successfully whenever it maintains
aggressive sales personnel.

     To the best knowledge of the Company's management, the Company
is the only distributor of several products which are specially
formulated to the Company's specifications for the particular
applications of the telecommunications industry. There is no
assurance, however, that other manufacturers will not enter the
market in the future.


<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Employees

     As of December 31, 1994, the Company employed approximately  
ninety-five (95) full-time employees, including its warehouse
personnel and administrative, accounting, clerical and sales
personnel. None of the Company's employees are covered by union
contracts, and the Company considers its relationship with its
employees to be excellent.



Facilities

     The principal executive and warehouse facilities of the
Company are located in a steel, glass, brick and concrete building
owned by the Company at 2646 Rodney Lane, Dallas, Texas. These
facilities occupy approximately 40,000 square feet of floor space,
of which 33,000 square feet are devoted to warehousing and shipping
and manufacturing, and 7,500 square feet to administrative and
executive offices.  A deed of trust has been granted with respect
to this property to secure certain indebtedness of the Company.

     The Company believes that all of its plant and office
facilities are in good condition, sufficient for its present
activities and adequately insured.

     The Company does not as a regular aspect of its business
acquire interests in real estate for purposes of investment or
acquire securities of or interests in persons engaged in real
estate activities.



Legal Proceedings

     The Company is not a party to, nor is any of its property the
subject of, any legal proceedings other than routine litigation
incidental to its business.

Comparison of Annual Results

     Net sales for fiscal year 1994 increased by 6.8% from
$6,262,192 to $6,686,615 versus fiscal year 1993, after decreasing
6.0% from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 1993.  Cost of sales as a percent-
age of net sales improved from 62.4% to 61.7% to 58.6% from 1992
through 1993 and 1994.  The decrease in sales from 1992 to 1993 is
attributable to the sale of the assets of Bio/Dyne Chemical Compa-
ny, Inc. ("Bio/Dyne") in November 1992, which resulted in lower
sales volume but increased efficiency.  Efficiencies of scale
subsequently realized upon additional volume of sales further
improved results in 1994.  As a result of increased sales combined
with cost control, gross profit increased by 15.5% from $2,398,129
to $2,769,295 for fiscal 1994 versus fiscal 1993, after decreasing
by 4.2% from fiscal 1992 to fiscal 1993.  For the fiscal year, the
gross profit margin reached a record 41.4% of net sales, as
compared to 38.3% for 1993 and 37.6% for 1992.

     General and administrative expenses remained relatively
constant as a percentage of net sales from 1992 through 1994. 
Interest expense fell as a percentage of net sales from 2.3% to
1.8% to 1.5% from 1992 through 1994 due to application of funds
generated from continued profitability to reduce debt.

     The Company also realized a one-time positive adjustment in
the amount of $125,528 in 1993 from the cumulative effect of a
change in accounting principle to recognize the timing difference
between incurring and paying income tax for financial reporting
purposes.
 
     As a result of these factors, for the fiscal year ended Decem-
ber 31, 1994, net income increased to $361,064 from $309,482 (which
included the $125,528 tax adjustment), or 16.7%, versus the same
period in 1993.  These results compare favorably to net earnings
for 1992 of $156,818.


Comparison of Interim Results

     Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995
increased to $6,213,163 from $5,058,098, or 22.8%, from the same
quarter of the previous year, primarily as a result of the
Company's focused marketing efforts permitted by its continuing
financial strength.  For the comparable three month periods then
ended, net sales increased more dramatically from $1,717,849 to
$2,264,600 or 31.8%.

     Cost of sales, including salesmen expenses, increased modestly
as a percentage of net sales from $2,474,547 or 48.9% of net sales
for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 to $3,061,761 or 49.3%
of net sales for the same period of 1995.  Cost of sales were 49.2%
and 48.2%, respectively, of net sales for the comparable quarters
of 1995 and 1994.  
<PAGE>
     As a result of increased sales, gross profit improved from
$2,583,551 to $3,151,402 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 versus the nine months ended September 30, 1994, an increase
of 22.0%.  For the comparable quarters, gross profit increased from
$890,543 to $1,150,787 or 29.2%.  

     General and administrative expenses increased by 14.5% and
20.4% for the comparable nine month and 3 month periods, respec-
tively, as the Company incurred additional costs to support its
sales growth.  As a percentage of net sales, general and adminis-
trative costs fell to 36.4% for the first nine months of 1995 from
39.1% for the first nine months of 1994 as sales growth absorbed
more of this overhead.  For the three month periods, the comparable
percentages were 34.4% for 1995 and 37.7% for 1994.
  
     Earnings before income taxes improved by approximately 63.7%
for the first nine months and 89.1% for the quarter ended September
30, 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods of 1994 due to
the factors previously described.  Net earnings increased dramati-
cally for the comparable nine month periods, from $337,731 to
$532,081, or 57.5%, and for the third quarter of the two years,
from $126,719 to $218,798, or 72.7%.
     

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's working capital (total current assets less total
current liabilities), which was $1,445,090 as of December 31, 1993,
improved to $1,790,794 as of December 31, 1994. The Company's
current assets increased significantly during this period as the
Company's cash, accounts receivable and inventory all increased due
to increased sales and profitability.  Current liabilities also in-
creased but less dramatically largely due to the accrual of income
taxes.

     The Company's working capital further increased to $2,189,082
as of September 30, 1995.  The Company's current ratio remained
steady at 3.7.  The continued increase in working capital was
primarily the result of growth in trade accounts receivable as a
result of improved sales in the quarter, partially offset by
increased accounts payable necessary to support increased sales.

     As shown in the Company's consolidated statements of cash
flows, the Company generated approximately $454,000 in cash flow
from operations during fiscal 1994 as a result of its continuing
profitability, partially offset by increases in receivables and
inventories resulting from increases in the Company's business.  A
portion of these funds was used to reduce the Company's outstanding
secured indebtedness, resulting in a total use of cash for
financing activities of $113,470.  As a result of these factors,
the Company's cash position improved by almost $340,000 during the
course of the fiscal year.
<PAGE>
     The Company experienced positive cash flow from operations
during the first nine months of 1995 as earnings were used to fund
additional growth.  In addition, funds were utilized to reduce
debt, resulting in a net decrease in cash for the first nine
months.

     The Company believes that its present financing will provide
adequate funding for its capital needs for the foreseeable future.

Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

     Effective December 1, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors
adopted a Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") covering
200,000 shares of the Company's common stock.  Participants in the
Plan are selected by the Company's Board of Directors from the
executive officers and other key employees of the Company.  The
Plan provides that the option price per share and vesting period
for stock options issued under the Plan are determined by the
Company's Board of Directors.  The Plan also permits the award of
cashless exercise rights, which permit the optionee to acquire the
number of shares equal to the net appreciation in value of the
option shares above their exercise price.  All options terminate
upon termination of employment, except that in the event of death
an option may be exercised during its remaining term or within one
year, and in the event of retirement or disability an option may be
exercised during its remaining term or within three months.  

     In December 1994, an aggregate of 200,000 stock options were
granted to Messrs. Shwiff, Mark Kenner and Fred Kenner at the
exercise price of $1.00 per share.  These stock options were fully
vested and exercisable at the date of grant.  Under the terms of
the Plan, options granted may be exercised at any time during the
ten year period following issuance, unless a shorter term is
specified.  At December 31, 1994, none of the stock options granted
under the Plan had been exercised.

     In January 1995, the Plan was amended to increase the number
of shares subject to the Plan to 250,000 shares, and an additional
50,000 shares were issued to certain key employees.  These stock
options were issued at an option price of $1.00 per share, and will
vest in annual increments of 20% with the first 20% vesting
occurring on the date of issuance.

     On April 5, 1995, the Company declared a 10% stock dividend on
the Common Stock.  Subsequently, the Plan was amended to increase
the number of shares subject to the Plan to 110% of the original
number authorized, or 275,000 shares, and outstanding options were
adjusted to 110% of their original amount.  The exercise prices
were not adjusted.

     On May 10, 1996, the Company declared a one-for-one stock
dividend on the Common Stock.  The Plan has been amended to double
the number of shares subject to the Plan to 550,000, and each
outstanding option was amended to double the number of shares
subject to such option and halve the exercise price for each option
issued to $0.50.

Indemnification

     Article 10 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation provides
that the Company may indemnify each Director and officer of the
Company against reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in
connection with any action, suit or proceeding to which he may be
made a party by reason of his being or having been such Director or
officer, except in relation to any actions, suits or proceedings in
which he has been adjudged liable because of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties
involved in the conduct of his office. In the absence of a determi-
nation which expressly absolves the Director or officer of
liability to the Company or its shareholders for willful misfea-
sance, bad faith, gross negligence and reckless disregard of the
duties involved in the conduct of his office, or in the event of a
settlement, each Director and officer may be indemnified by the
Company against payments made, including reasonable costs and
expenses, provided that such indemnity shall be conditioned upon
the prior determination by a resolution of two thirds of those
members of the Board of Directors who are not involved in the
action, suit or proceeding that the Director or officer has no
liability by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the
conduct of his office, and provided further that if a majority of
the members of the Board of Directors are involved in the action,
suit or proceeding, such determination shall have been made by a
written opinion of independent counsel.  Article 10 further
provides that its terms are not exclusive of any other rights to
which officers and Directors may be entitled according to law.

     In addition, Article 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation
Act provides broad powers of indemnification of Directors and
officers.  For example, the board of directors, the shareholders,
or independent legal counsel in some circumstances may authorize
the Company to indemnify any officer or Director against expenses
(including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement, actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with any "threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative or
investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit or proceeding and
any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action,suit
or proceeding" by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director
or officer of the Company, if such Director or officer "acted in
good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to
any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to
believe his conduct was unlawful."  A Director may not be indem-
nified where such Director improperly received a personal benefit
whether or not the benefit resulted from an action taken in his
official capacity and may not be indemnified where he is found
liable to the Company.

<PAGE>
     If a Director or officer defends litigation arising out of his
office and is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of
the action, Article 2.02-1 provides that such officer or Director
shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees)
actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith. 
Additionally, a Director or officer's reasonable expenses may be
paid or reimbursed where a written request is submitted with an
undertaking to repay said expense if such person is ultimately
determined to not be entitled to indemnification.

     Finally, the Company has power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any Director or officer against any
liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such capacity
or arising out of his status as an officer or a Director, whether
or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against
such liability under the before described provisions of Article
2.02-1.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to Directors,
officers, and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a Director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any
action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such Director, officer
or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                       DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

     The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of
10,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 500,000 shares of preferred
stock.



Common Stock

     At November 7, 1995, there were 2,200,000 shares of Common
Stock outstanding and held of record by approximately 400 stock-
holders.  The holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of
shareholders.  Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any
preferred stock outstanding, holders of Common Stock are entitled
to receive ratably such dividends as may be declared by the Board
of Directors out of funds legally available therefor.  In the event
of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders
of Common Stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets
remaining after payment, or provision for payment, of liabilities
and the liquidation preference of any preferred stock outstanding. 
Shares of Common Stock do not have cumulative voting rights, which
means that the holders of a majority of the shares voting for the
election of the Board of Directors can elect all of the Directors
and, in such event, the holders of the remaining shares will not be
able to elect any Directors.  See "Risk Factors - Voting Control." 
Holders of Common Stock have no preemptive rights and have no
rights to convert their Common Stock into any other securities. 
The shares of Common Stock outstanding are, and the Common Stock to
be outstanding upon completion of this offering will be, fully
paid, validly issued and nonassessable. See "Price Range of Common
Stock and Dividend Policy."



Preferred Stock

     No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.  The
Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock
in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privi-
leges and restrictions, including the dividend rights, dividend
rate, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption,
redemption price or prices, liquidation preferences and the number
of shares constituting any series or the designations of such
series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. 
The Board of Directors without stockholder approval can issue pre-
ferred stock with voting and conversion rights which (i) could
adversely affect the voting power of the holders of Common Stock
and (ii) may discourage or thwart proposed takeovers of the
Company.

exercise price of $1.25 per share, exercisable until April 30,
1997. These Warrants, which are held by Howell Communications,

<PAGE>  <PAGE>
                           PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     Promptly after the registration statement for this offering
became effective, the Company offered shares to be sold by it on a
best efforts basis at the offering price of $1.75.  All offers and
sales were conducted solely through the efforts of the Company's
Directors and officers.

     The Company did not specify any minimum number of shares which
had to be sold before subscriptions could be accepted.  Therefore,
the Company reserved the right to complete transactions with any
subscriber without requiring that any minimum thresholds be
reached, and no assurance was given that any other transaction
would be completed or any particular amount of shares would be sold
or any amount of proceeds would be received.  See "Risk Factors -
Best Efforts Offering; No Minimum."

     Further, the Company reserved the right to discontinue the
offering at any time due to business results, market changes or
other factors, which could also have resulted in fewer shares being
sold than might otherwise be sold.


                               LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the issuance of the Common Stock offered
hereby will be passed upon for the Company by Hewitt & Hewitt,
P.C., Dallas, Texas.

                    INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Stockholders and Board of Directors
Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc. and subsidiary as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
earnings, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three-year period ended December 31, 1994.  These consoli-
dated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc. and subsidiary as of
December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their operations and
their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.  

As discussed in note 1(g) to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company changed its method of accounting for income taxes in
1993 to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."

               Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

               December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc. ("Arrow") and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, Bio/Dyne Chemical Company ("Bio/Dyne") (collectively
"the Company").  Effective November 30, 1992, substantially all the
assets and liabilities of Bio/Dyne were sold (see note 2).  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

(b) Nature of the Business

The Company is engaged in the sale and distribution of chemical
products, primarily industrial and institutional cleaning and
maintenance supplies and related products to industrial users,
telephone supply distributors, governmental agencies and school
systems.  The Company's customers operate in many different
industries and geographic regions.

No one single customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales in
1994, 1993 and 1992.

(c) Cash Equivalents and Statements of Cash Flows

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, the Company considers
all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.  There were no cash
equivalents at December 31, 1994 or 1993.

Cash paid for interest during 1994, 1993 and 1992 was $101,051,
$117,706 and $159,099, respectively.  Cash paid for federal income
taxes during 1994 and 1993 was $65,024 and $75,000, respectively.

(d) Inventories

Inventories, which consist primarily of merchandise purchased for
resale and raw materials purchased for blending, are stated at the
lower of cost or market.  Cost is determined using the first-in,
first-out method.

(e) Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Equipment under capital
leases is stated at the lesser of the cost of the equipment or the
present value of minimum lease payments.  Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets.  The cost of maintenance and repairs is charged to
expense as incurred; significant renewals and betterments are
capitalized.
          
(f)  Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their
estimated useful lives which range from three to forty years.
          
The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill and other
intangible assets acquired by determining whether the amortization
of the asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered
through undiscounted future operating cash flows of the acquired
operation.  The amount of impairment, if any, is measured based on
projected discounted future operating cash flows.
          
(g)  Income Taxes

In February 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes.  Statement_109 requires a change from the deferred
method of accounting for income taxes of APB Opinion 11 to the
asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes.  Under
the asset and liability method of Statement 109, deferred tax
assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax conse-
quences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
measured using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in
which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in
the period that includes the enactment date.
     
Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement 109 and
has reported the cumulative effect of that change in the method of
accounting for income taxes in the 1993 consolidated statement of
earnings.
     
Pursuant to the deferred method under APB Opinion 11, which was
applied in 1992 and prior years, deferred income taxes are
recognized for income and expense items that are reported in
different years for financial reporting purposes and income tax
purposes using the tax rate applicable to the year of the calcula-
tion.  Under the deferred method, deferred taxes are not adjusted
for subsequent changes in tax rates.



     
(h)  Earnings per Share
     
Earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during each year, adjusted for
the ten percent stock dividend declared on April 5, 1995 (Note 9).
          
(2)  Bio/Dyne Sale

On November 30, 1992, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets and liabilities of Bio/Dyne for consideration of $160,000 in
cash and a note receivable for $40,000.  The note receivable bears
interest at the rate of 7% per annum.  Interest on the note will
accrue and be added to the principal balance for seven years, at
which time monthly payments of principal and accrued interest will
commence and be amortized over a two-year period.  
The note is secured by a second lien security interest in substan-
tially all of the assets of the business sold.  
     
     
The operations of Bio/Dyne are included in the accompanying
consolidated statements of earnings through November 30, 1992. 
Included in loss on disposition of assets in 1992 is approximately
$1
