ITEM 3.     SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                  No purchase of  securities of Oil-Dri  Corporation  of America
            ("Oil-Dri") was involved in the transaction  which  necessitated the
            filing of this Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D.

            Investment Partnership, L.P. The transaction which necessitated this
            Amendment to Schedule 13D was the transfer of 225,000 Class B Shares

            Jaffee Investment  Partnership by the Shirley H. Jaffee  Declaration
            Trust.  The purpose of these  transfers  was to make it possible for
            Mr.  Richard  M.  Jaffee and Mrs.  Shirley H.  Jaffee to gift in the
            future additional interests in the Jaffee Investment  Partnership to
            their children and grandchildren.

            of  securities  of  Oil-Dri  or the  disposition  of  securities  of
            Oil-Dri, (ii) any extraordinary  corporate transaction of Oil-Dri or
            its  subsidiaries,  (iii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of
            assets of Oil-Dri or its subsidiaries,  (iv) any change in the board
            of directors or  management of Oil-Dri,  (v) any material  change in

            corporate structure,  (vi) any change to Oil-Dri's charter or bylaws
            or other  actions  that may  impede  the  acquisition  of control of
            Oil-Dri by any person,  (vii) causing  Oil-Dri Common Stock to cease
            to be listed on the New York Stock  Exchange,  or to become eligible
            for termination of registration  pursuant to Section  12(g)(4) under
            the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or (viii) any action similar to
            those enumerated above.

ITEM 6.     CONTRACTS,  ARRANGEMENTS,  UNDERSTANDINGS  OR  RELATIONSHIPS  WITH
            RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER


                  The Limited Partnership Agreement  ("Agreement") of the Jaffee
            Investment   Partnership,   L.P.  provides  that,   subject  to  the
            limitations  of the  Agreement,  the  General  Partners  manage  the
            partnership business, with all rights and powers of general partners
            as provided in the  Delaware  Revised  Uniform  Partnership  Act. It
            further provides that certain decisions  (distributions to Partners,
            sale,  assignment or mortgage of, grant of security  interest in, or
            pledge  of,  a  Partnership  Interest,  borrowing,  or  lending,  or
            purchasing of any  security)  cannot be made and,  unless  otherwise
            specifically  provided in the  Agreement,  other  decision  and acts
            cannot be taken,  unless approved by a majority of the Units held by
            General  Partners;  no General  Partner holds more than three of the
            outstanding  ten  Units.  It grants  the power  and  authority  over
            day-to-day  decisions  to  Richard  M.  Jaffee as  Managing  General
            Partner.   (Day-to-day   decisions   include  the   investment   and
            reinvestment of Partnership assets in any property,  including stock
            of any  corporation,  and execution of any  documents  deemed by the
            Managing  General  Partner to be necessary  for the  Partnership  to
            conduct its business.)  (See Exhibit 2 to the initial filing of this
            Schedule  13D,   incorporated   herein  by  reference.)  Based  upon
            consultation with counsel,  the Partnership and its General Partners
            concluded  that the initial  filing of the Schedule 13D  incorrectly
            characterized  the Partnership and its General  Partners as a group,
            and Amendment No. 1 corrected that  characterization.  See SOUTHLAND
            CORPORATION, SEC No Action Letter (1987).

                  The Agreement is not clear as to whether Richard M. Jaffee, as
            the Managing General Partner,  has the power to unilaterally dispose
            of or vote Oil-Dri stock held by the Partnership, and as to whether,
            if he has such power,  it can be overridden by action of the General
            Partners  by  a  majority  of  the  Units.  Accordingly,   based  on
            consultation with counsel,  Mr. Jaffee acknowledges the possibility,
            for  purposes  of  Regulation  13D,  that  he  could  be  deemed  to
            beneficially  own, but  disclaims  ownership  of, the  Partnership's
            1,000,000  shares of Class B Common Stock (and the 1,000,000  shares
            of  Common   Stock  into   which  such  Class  B  Common   Stock  is
            convertible), which would be in addition to the Class B Common Stock
            and Common Stock otherwise shown herein as owned by him.
