          Re:  Petros and Poolside Engagement Agreement

Dear Bob:

     Reference is made to the engagement and client relationship
letter agreement dated October 25,  1994 between the Dilenschneider
Group, Inc. ("DGI") and SafeCard Services, Inc. (the "Company"), 
under which DGI will provide corporate public relations and public
affairs services to the Company in  1995.

     DGI has also presented the Company with proposals to provide,
and has provided, market  communications and promotion/publicity
services in connection with the market introduction of three  new
businesses developed by the Company:

     (1)  a business code-named "Petros" that (confidential
treatment requested) for which DGI  will provide specific services
to be agreed to by the parties within ten days of this letter  (the
"Petros Services");

     (2)  a business code-named "Poolside" that (confidential
treatment requested) for which DGI  will provide specific services
to be agreed to by the parties within ten days of this letter  (the
"Poolside Services"); and

     (3)  a business in connection with the PGA for which DGI will
provide no further services  or assistance.

     The Company accepts proposals for both Petros and Poolside,
and in consideration of DGI's  agreement  herein and the services
to be performed by DGI hereunder agrees to immediately pay DGI 
$180,000.00 to be applied by DGI to work and expenses that have
already been performed or incurred on those projects. To the extent
that work and expenses performed or incurred to date on these
projects  is less than $180,000.00, DGI will apply the remainder
toward future services and expenses. Within  10 days DGI shall
render to the Company a statement in accordance with the next
paragraph of this letter setting forth the services performed on
Petros and Poolside to the date of this letter.

     Any additional amounts due DGI for future Petros Services or
Poolside Services shall be billed  by DGI in accordance with the
next paragraph of this letter based on the hourly rates of DGI
staff  members as set forth on Schedule A; expenses incurred by DGI
shall be billed and paid for under the terms and conditions of the
October 1994 Engagement Letter.

     All statements for DGI's services should include a summary of
the kinds of services rendered  during the relevant period
accompanied by a detailed statement in computerized or equivalent
form  describing the services performed, the time expended each day
by each person, the hourly rates  charged therefor, total number of
hours worked by each person and total dollar amounts charged by 
each person.

have any questions concerning  the foregoing conditions do not
hesitate to contact me.  If this agreement is acceptable please 
acknowledge that you have reviewed it, understand it, and desire to
represent the Company on the  basis of the terms of this agreement
