Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.

     KPMG Peat Marwick LLP ("KPMG") were previously the principal accountants 
for Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc. (the "Company").  During the past 
several months, the Company and KPMG have engaged in discussions concerning 
fees for performing such work in the future, but were unable to reach 
agreement.  Effective November 18, 1998,  KPMG resigned.

     The former accountants' audit reports on financial statements of Arrow-
Magnolia International, Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 1997 
and 1996 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor 
were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting 
principles.  In connection with the audits of the two fiscal years ended 
December 31, 1997 and the subsequent interim period through November 18, 1998,
there were no disagreements with KPMG Peat Marwick LLP on any matter of 
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or 
auditing scope procedures which, if not resolved to their satisfaction, would
have caused them to make reference in connection with their opinion to the 
subject matter of the disagreement.

     The resignation of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP has been approved by the Audit 
Committee and the Board of Directors of Arrow-Magnolia International, Inc.
