1. General

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include normal
   recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's
   interim results. The condensed financial statements and notes in this Form
   10-Q are presented as permitted by Regulation S-X, and as such, they do not
   contain certain information included in the Company's 1993 annual financial
   statements and notes.

   The first quarters of 1994 and 1993 consisted of thirteen-week periods ending
   April 2, 1994 and April 3, 1993, respectively.  The interim results of 
   operations are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.


2. Foreign Currency Translation

   Transactions in foreign currencies and translation of financial statements of
   subsidiaries operating in hyperinflationary economies during the first
   quarters ended 1994 and 1993 resulted in losses of $1.4 million and $1
   million, respectively.


3. Inventories

   Inventories consisted of (in millions):

                                               ================  ==================
</TABLE>

   During the first quarters of 1994 and 1993, certain inventories were reduced
   resulting in the liquidation of LIFO inventory carried at costs which were
   lower than current costs. The effect was to reduce the cost of products sold
   by approximately $1.0 million in the first quarters of 1994 and 1993.


4. Intangibles Resulting From Business Acquisitions

   Accumulated amortization of intangible assets at April 2, 1994 and January 1,
   1994 was $31.4 and $30.4 million, respectively.

   $11.5 million and $11.6 million, respectively.

   standards issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board which had a one-
   time cumulative effect on net income of (in millions):

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

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

During the first quarter of 1994, total debt increased $22.3 million to $419.8
million from year end 1993.  Total debt to total capital was 36.5 percent as of
the end of the first quarter of 1994 and 35.6 percent at year end 1993.

During the first quarter of 1994, the Company registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission $100 million in principal amount of medium-term notes.  As
of May 11, 1994, no notes had been issued.

Average working capital, excluding short-term debt, as a percentage of sales
decreased to 11.5% from 13.4% a year ago.  The decrease was primarily
attributable to improvements in inventory turnover.  Inventory turns for the
first quarter of 1994 was 9.0 times as compared to 8.1 times in the
corresponding period of the prior year.

Shareholders' equity increased to $731.5 million from $719.1 million at year end
1993.

Net cash flows provided by operating activities totalled $300,000 for the first
quarter of 1994 and $34.3 million for the first quarter of 1993.  The decrease
in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to changes in
inventory, accrued liabilities and tax accounts. In addition to cash flows from
operations, the Company has more than adequate financing arrangements to conduct
its operations.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

First quarter sales were flat compared to the first quarter of 1993.  Excluding
the impact of changes in foreign currency rates, sales increased 3.0 percent.

The gross profit margin for the quarter was 31.8 percent, as compared to 31.5
percent for the first quarter of 1993.  The increased gross profit margin was
due primarily to productivity improvements throughout the Company and an
improved product mix.

Marketing, general and administrative expense, as a percent of sales, was 24.1
percent as compared to 24.7 percent for the first quarter of 1993.  Marketing,
general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to cost reduction
efforts throughout the Company.

Income before taxes as a percent of sales increased to 6.0 percent for the
quarter as compared to 5.4 percent for the first quarter of 1993 due to improved
gross profit margins and lower marketing, general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense as a percent of sales was 1.7 percent for the first quarter of
1994 compared to 1.5 percent for the first quarter of 1993.  The increase in
interest expense was due primarily to higher interest rates in Brazil.  Net
income was $25.2 million, or $.45 per share, for the quarter as compared to
$23.3 million, or $.40 per share, for the first quarter of 1993.  Excluding the
effect of accounting changes, net income for the first quarter of 1993 was $22.2
million, or $.38 per share.

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


The pressure-sensitive adhesives and materials sector reported improved
profitability on a modest increase in sales for the first quarter of 1994
compared to the same period last year.  The U.S. operations reported improved
sales and operating results.  The U.S. specialty tape and chemical businesses
reported strong sales and profitability growth, while other domestic operations
were impacted by adverse weather conditions. The foreign operations reported
significant profitability improvements on a slight decline in sales for the
quarter. Effective cost reduction programs continued to positively impact the
profitability of the foreign operations, while the effects of foreign currency
translation resulted in lower reported sales.

The office products sector reported an increase in profitability on decreased
sales from the first quarter of 1993.  In the United States, sales and
profitability increased primarily due to an improved product mix, successful new
product introductions, cost reduction programs, and lower overall promotional
costs. These increases, however, were partially offset by poor weather
conditions and inventory reductions by certain customers. Sales and
profitability were down significantly at the European office products businesses
primarily due to the weak French economy and the cost of on-going restructuring
programs.

The converted products sector (formerly product identification and control
systems) showed significant profitability improvements on decreased sales.  The
elimination of unprofitable product lines decreased combined sales for the
Soabar businesses, while lower operating expenses resulted in significant
profitability improvements.  The international converting businesses reported a
decline in sales due to the negative effects of foreign currency translation,
while profitability remained flat.  Overall, the North American label businesses
reported flat sales and decreased profitability for the quarter.

The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by
fixed charges.  For this purpose, "earnings" consist of income before taxes plus
fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest), and "fixed charges" consist of
interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issuance costs and
the portion of rent expense (estimated to be 35%) on operating leases deemed
representative of interest.
