              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996


(1) The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of March 31, 1996 and
    December 31, 1995, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and
    Cash Flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, in
    the opinion of the Company, reflect all adjustments (which, except as noted
    below, include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
    fairly the financial position, the results of operations and cash flows, as
    of and for the periods then ended.  Certain information and footnote
    disclosures normally included in Financial Statements, prepared in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
    condensed or omitted, pursuant to S.E.C. rules and regulations, although
    the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
    information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these condensed
    Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements
    and the Notes, thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
    10-K, for the year-ended December 31, 1995.

(2) The results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996
    and 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
    the full year.

(3) It is the Company's policy to take an annual physical inventory, in
    conjunction with the preparation of the Annual Financial Statements.   At
    times, other than year-end, it is necessary to estimate the breakdown of
    raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventories.  The
    estimate for the period ended March 31, 1996, and the components of the
    December 31, 1995 inventories, based on the physical count, both primarily
    on a LIFO basis, were as follows:

(4) In June 1995, the Company entered into an unsecured Line of Credit
    arrangement for short term debt with a financial institution.  Under the
    terms of this agreement the Company may borrow up to $5 million on terms
    mutually agreeable to the Company and financial institution.  There are no
    requirements for compensating balances or restrictions of any kind involved
    in this arrangement.

    There were no borrowings outstanding at March 31, 1996 and December 31,
1995.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                                 MARCH 31, 1996

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The Company achieved record sales and earnings during the first quarter of
1996.  Net income increased 40.4% to $1,073,000 or $.30 per share.  This
compared with $764,000 or $.21 per share for last year's first quarter.  Net
sales increased 8.1% to $12,835,000 and were especially strong through our
domestic dealer organization and represented the twenty-first consecutive year
to year quarterly sales increase.

Much of the profit increase came from a substantial benefit to net income from
the gain recognized in other income on the sale of our former St. Paul,
Minnesota manufacturing facility.  Nevertheless, first quarter operating profit
showed improvements, gross profits increased $277,000; but our margins
continued to be squeezed by price reductions initiated by competitors in 1995
that we were forced to match.  We now are confident that we can maintain our
market share and, consequently, instituted a price increase in January of about
5%.  The full benefit of this price increase will be felt in the second
quarter.  This better pricing environment should more than offset any cost
increase from suppliers that we anticipate to be slight because many already
raised prices substantially last year.

Operating expenses were $2,798,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 1996
as compared to $2,574,000 for the first quarter of 1995.  This increase is
attributable primarily to salaries and benefits for additional personnel as
well as increased professional fees.

Net interest income was $14,000 for the First Quarter ended 1996, as compared
with $25,000 for the comparable period of 1995.  This decrease is attributable
to lower investable funds.  Other income was $432,000 for the First Quarter of 
1996 compared to other expense of $2,000 for the First Quarter of 1995 due to 
the aforementioned gain recognized on the sale of the remaining portion of our
former St. Paul manufacturing facility in 1996.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION (CONTINUED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1996


LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND FINANCIAL POSITION:

The Company had working capital of $17.8 million at March 31, 1996 and $17.1
million at December 31, 1995.  This represents a current ratio of 4.3 and 6.4
for these periods, respectively.

Cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments represented 5.7% and 6.2% of
this working capital at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 which, when not in
use, is invested in bank certificates of deposit, Euro dollar certificate
investments, and a managed portfolio of high quality variable rate notes and
tax-exempt seven day bonds.  This decrease is due primarily to significantly
higher sales during the first quarter of 1996 causing higher receivables and
the use of cash to purchase inventories related primarily to new product
introductions.

The Company had shareholders' equity of $26.8 million at March 31, 1996 and
$26.1 million at December 31, 1995 which, when compared to total liabilities,
represented an equity to liability ratio of 4.8 and 7.7, respectively.

The Company has no debt, more than sufficient capital resources, and is in a
strong financial position to meet  business and liquidity needs as they arise.
The Company foresees no unusual future events that will materially change the
aforementioned summarization.
