  NEBEL MOVES ON AFTER LEAVING HAMILTON BEACH/PROCTOR-SILEX WITH
              SOLID FOUNDATION FOR GROWTH
              
              
Richmond, Virginia February 8, 1995 -- George C. Nebel today
announced his resignation from the position of President and Chief
Executive Officer of Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. effective
February 28, 1995. Nebel has accepted the position of  President
of Gemini Industries, headquartered in Clifton, New Jersey, a
leading supplier of cellular, computer and electronic accessories.

Nebel joined Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, an 80 percent owned
subsidiary of  Cleveland-based NACCO Industries, Inc. (NC-NYSE),
in January 1991 following the October 1990 merger of Hamilton
Beach, Inc. and Proctor-Silex, Inc. Over the past four years,
Nebel has overseen the successful merger of the two companies, and
has helped to build a strong, customer-driven organization making
high quality products with market leadership positions in several
major product categories.

"George's contributions are obvious when you look at the quality
of Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex operations and the bottom line of
the business," states Alfred M. Rankin, Jr., Chairman, President
and Chief Executive Officer of  NACCO Industries, Inc.. " Thanks
in no small measure to George's efforts, Hamilton Beach/Proctor-
Silex is well on its way to achieving its goal of becoming the
vendor of choice in the small appliance industry."

While a search for Mr. Nebel's replacement is underway, Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex will be managed by Mr. Rankin as nonexecutive
chairman of the Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex Board of Directors,
with daily operations being overseen by an executive committee
comprised of key Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex executives from
various disciplines.

Hamilton Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. is a leading U.S. manufacturer
of small appliances based in Richmond, Virginia.
