COMPANY OF LANDOVER, MARYLAND
HOUSTON, TEXAS -- October 8, 1998 -- Consolidated Graphics, Inc. (NYSE:CGX)

the transaction were not disclosed.
Joe R. Davis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Consolidated

Consolidated Graphics. Under the leadership of John Carty, Mount Vernon's
President since 1980, the company has a reputation for outstanding quality and
service and has become one of the pre-eminent providers of printing services in
the Washington D.C. market."
