Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
include all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management of the
registrant, necessary for a fair statement of the operating results for the six-
month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  These financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
therefore do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair
presentation of financial position, results of operations, and changes in cash
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


       The sales growth is due to several factors. U.S. commercial safety 
equipment revenues are moderately up, led by increases in sales of self-
contained breathing apparatus to fire services, of protective helmets to general
safety markets and of exports. Sales of gas detection and monitoring instruments
continue to increase, especially to the industrial cooling market. Rental
revenues to the environmental services market also are higher.  Shipments of gas
masks to the U.S. military have declined somewhat, as expected. (However, the
effect of this was more than offset by better production cost performance.) 
International sales are higher, assisted in part by changes in currency transla-
tion rates. In local currency, the most notable sales increases have occurred in
Brazil and Europe.

       The growth in net income has occurred in several areas. The profitability
of U.S. operations has improved with higher sales and manufacturing levels com-
bined with cost reductions from enhanced productivity and careful expense
management. Earnings from European operations remain at relatively low levels,
but are slowly improving with increased sales and lower costs. Profits from 
MSA's Brazil operation have improved substantially following governmental 
economic reforms implemented in July of 1994. Improvement in Latin American
earnings accounts for a significant proportion of the corporate earnings growth.
Consolidated earnings per share benefitted from higher net income and reduced 
shares outstanding as a result of a share repurchase program.

       A higher level of performance has been achieved so  far in 1995. The
company is going at a pace to reach our short term goals for this year,
although our longer term objectives are still a good journey ahead. The
company's profits in the first half of 1994 were relatively low, but were 
stronger in the second half of that year. While we are working for further
performance improvements, it is not realistic to expect quarterly earnings 
percentage growth above last year's results to be as high for the remainder of
this year.

     The higher effective tax rates for the quarter and the six months ended
June 30,1994 were primarily the result of currency translation losses
not deductible for tax purposes. Excluding the effects of currency translations,
the comparative 1995 effective tax rate would be higher for both the quarter 
and the six-month period, due primarily to the impact of taxes being provided
in 1995 by an international affiliate that previously was in a tax-loss-
carryforward status.















     Comparative foreign currency exchange losses charged to income are as
follows:

       Currency exchange adjustments charged directly to the equity cumulative
translation adjustments account are shown below.  Significant second quarter 
1995 gains relate to Germany and Japan; year to date translation gains relate 
also to Germany and Japan.

       Available credit facilities along with internal cash resources are
adequate to provide for ensuing capital requirements.  The company's financial
position and liquidity continue to be adequate.  The current ratio and term
debt in relation to capital as of June 30, 1995  were 3.6 and 6.5%,
respectively, as compared to 3.4 and 7.5% at December 31, 1994.
