    Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                              
1.Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  The  consolidated condensed balance sheet as of March  31,
  1996,   and  the  consolidated  condensed  statements   of
  operations  and  cash  flows for the  three  months  ended
  March  31,  1996 and April 2, 1995, have been prepared  by
  the   Company,   without  audit.   In   the   opinion   of
  management,  all  adjustments (which include  only  normal
  recurring  adjustments) necessary to  present  fairly  the
  financial  position, results of operations and changes  in
  cash  flows at March 31,1996 and for all periods presented
  have been made.

  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally
  included  in  financial statements prepared in  accordance
  with  generally accepted accounting principles  have  been
  condensed   or  omitted.  It  is  suggested   that   these
  consolidated  condensed financial statements  be  read  in
  conjunction  with  the  financial  statements  and   notes
  thereto  included in the Company's 1995 Annual  Report  to
  Stockholders.   The results of operations for  the  period
  ended  March  31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative  of
  the operating results for the full year.

2.Principles of Consolidation

  The  financial  statements include  the  accounts  of  the
  Company  and its wholly owned subsidiaries, American  Sign
  &  Marketing  Services,  Inc., and Carter-Miot,  Inc.  All
  significant  intercompany accounts and  transactions  have
  been eliminated.

3.Inventories

  Inventories  consist  of  the  following:

                                 March 31, 1996    December 31, 1995
  (in thousands)
  Finished goods                   $  24,818           $  22,008
  Work-in-process                      2,787               4,289
  Raw materials                        7,458               7,330
  Less:  LIFO inventory reserve       (2,063)             (2,063)

  Total net inventory              $  33,000           $  31,564

  Inventories  are  stated at the lower-of-cost  or  market.
  Cost  is  determined  by  the  last-in,  first-out  method
  (LIFO).

4.Earnings Per Share

  Net  income  per  common share is based  on  the  weighted
  average  number  of  common and common  equivalent  shares
  outstanding  in each period.   For purposes  of  computing
  common  equivalent shares outstanding, shares relating  to
  options  have  been  calculated using the  treasury  stock
  method  for  the  portion of each  period  for  which  the
  options were outstanding and using the fair value  of  the
  Company's stock for each of the respective periods.

  The  weighted  average number of  common and common  stock
  equivalent  shares  outstanding at  March  31,  1996  were
  3,800,000.                                  

                              
                           ITEM 2
                              
 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              
Consolidated  results  of operations for  the  three  months
ended  March  31,  1996  (1996  Quarter)  compared  to   the
consolidated  results  of operations for  the  three  months
ended April 2, 1995 (1995 Quarter):

The  Company's sales in the first quarter of 1996  increased
50% to $30,142,000 from $20,056,000 for the same period last
year.  First quarter 1996 sales were higher than prior  year
due  to sales of $3,200,000 from our new subsidiary, Carter-
Miot,  Inc., as well as stronger volume across  all  of  our
businesses.

The  Company's gross profit margin during the  1996  Quarter
(16.5%)  was flat as compared to the margin during the  1995
Quarter (16.8%).

Selling,   general,   and   administrative   expenses   were
$3,793,000  for the 1996 Quarter versus $3,094,000  for  the
1995 Quarter, a 22.6% increase.  The increase is primarily
due to the addition of our Carter-Miot subsidiary.

Operating  income was $1,190,000 and $276,000 for  the  1996
and 1995 Quarters, respectively.  The increase in income was
primarily related to the higher sales volume.

Net  income  for  the quarter was $458,000  as  compared  to
$28,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  Net income per share
for the quarter was $0.12 as compared to $0.01 for the first
quarter of 1995.

Net  interest  expense increased to $451,000  for  the  1996
Quarter compared to $214,000 in the 1995 Quarter.  
The increased expense was primarily  the  result  of  higher
average debt balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The  Company had working capital of $30,063,000, a  decrease
of   $1,049,000  from  the  amount  of  working  capital  at
December  31,  1995.  Funds  of  $3,070,000  were   provided
by operating  activities.   Decreases in  receivables  was 
the primary source of funds.

Investing  activities used $255,000 as a result of  property
and   equipment   purchases.    Financing  activities   used
$2,815,000 primarily as a result of decreased net borrowings
under the Company's line of credit during the 1996 Quarter.

The   Company's  future  capital  expenditures  will  relate
principally   to  the  acquisition  of  new  machinery   and
equipment  and furniture and fixtures designed  to  increase
productivity  and factory efficiency.  The Company  believes
its cash generated from operations and funds available under
the  existing line of credit are sufficient for all  planned
operating and capital requirements.

Seasonality

The Company's sales exhibit limited seasonality , with sales
in  the  first quarter generally being the lowest and fourth
quarter sales the highest.  First quarter sales tend  to  be
relatively  lower because of weather constraints which  slow
down customer's construction schedules and their pattern  of
sign  purchases.   Sales have normally  accelerated  in  the
second,  third,  and  fourth  quarters  corresponding   with
accelerating construction schedules.
