    include the results of material 1996 and 1997 acquisitions for the same
    periods they are included in reported 1997 results and to exclude the
    first-quarter 1996 favorable supplier settlement from six-month results.
(b) To determine the 1997 comparable volume change, 1996 volume results have
    been adjusted for acquisitions and common fiscal periods.
