   Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

   The consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in
   accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
   financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
   10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly they do not include all of the
   information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
   principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of
   management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
   considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 
   Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 1994, are not
   necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
   ending December 31, 1994.  For further information, refer to the
   consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
   Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1993.

   Item 2 -  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
             Results of Operations.

   Consolidated net sales and unit volume both increased 6% for the second
   quarter ended June 30, 1994, compared to the same period a year ago, while
   net sales for the six months increased 5% on a 6% increase in unit volume. 
   The net sales increase for both periods would have been aprpoximately two
   percentage points higher except for the negative impact of exchange rates
   on the translated value of foreign currency denominated sales.

   Net sales and unit volume for the Company's domestic operation, which
   includes sales to export markets, were 11% and 7% higher for the quarter,
   and 8% and 6% higher for the first six months, respectively, compared to
   the same periods last year.  The percentage differential between the sales
   and unit volume (retread materials) increases was primarily due to higher-
   than-usual equipment sales.

   Second quarter unit volume for the Company's European operations was 3%
   higher than the same period last year but the Company does not yet view
   this improvement as significant because of the continuing overall weak
   economic conditions in the European markets.  Western European sales
   increased 2% and 4% for the quarter and six months, respectively, in local
   currency, but were approximately 2% lower for both periods when translated
   to U.S. dollars.

   Unit volume for the other foreign geographic areas in the aggregate
   increased approximately 6% for the quarter, with South Africa and Brazil
   posting strong results, but sales were 2% lower due to the lower
   translated value of foreign currency denominated sales.  For the six
   months, unit volume was 11% higher than last year, but sales were only 1%
   higher after translation.

   Price increases for most retread material products are announced during
   the second quarter for the U.S. and Canadian markets in response to
   continued higher material costs, but this increase had a minimal impact on
   second quarter net sales and net earnings due to the timing of the
   effective date of the increases.

   Consolidated gross margin for the second quarter ended June 30, 1994,
   improved 1.2 percentage points compared to the same quarter last year. 
   The improvement in gross margin was due primarily to higher production
   levels during the quarter accomplished without significant increases in
   manufacturing costs.  Gross margin for the first six months of the year
   was 0.6 percentage points higher than the same period last year for the
   same reason.

   Consolidated net earnings for the second quarter increased 12% over the
   same period last year and earnings per share increased 13%, both net of
   the impact of a one percentage point increase in the Company's effective
   income tax rate.  For the six months, both consolidated net earnings and
   earnings per share increased 12%.  The increase in net earnings was
   primarily due to the increase in unit volume and improved gross margins. 
   Consolidated operating and other expenses for the quarter increased 6.6%
   compared to the same period last year, but the majority of this increase
   was due to unfavorable foreign exchange adjustments as a result of lower
   currency values in certain countries in the Western European business
   area.  Excluding the unfavorable foreign exchange adjustments,
   consolidated operating expenses would have been only slightly higher than
   last year in absolute terms and, even with last year as a percentage of
   sales.  Year-to-date other income inclued a non-recurring after-tax
   capital gain of $983,000, $.04 per share, from the sale of a portion of
   the Company's long-term marketable equity securities for the purpose of
   offsetting expiring prior period capital losses.  Earnings per share for
   the quarter was one percentage point higher than the increase in net
   earnings because of fewer shares outstanding due to purchases of the
   Company's shares.

   The Company's domestic earnings before income taxes for both the second
   quarter and six months increased approximately 4% over the same periods
   last year, excluding the gain from the sale of equity securities booked in
   the first quarter, which was proportional to the increase in net sales. 
   Although operating expenses increased 10% and 8% for the second quarter
   and six months compared to last year, they were both even with the prior
   periods as a percentage of sales.

   The Company's Western European operations recorded a loss equal to 1.7% of
   sales in the second quarter due to the unfavorable foreign exchange
   adjustments mentioned above, but this was 1.6 percentage points better
   than the same period last year.  Excluding the unfavorable foreign
   exchange adjustments, second quarter earnings before income taxes would
   have been equal to 2.5% of sales compared to a negative 2.4% for last
   year.  For the six month period, earnings before income taxes were 0.6% of
   sales, which was a 1.4 percentage point improvement over the same period
   last year.

   Earnings before income taxes for the other foreign operations in the
   aggregate decreased approximately 18% and 22%, respectively, for the
   quarter and six months compared to the same periods last year.  This too
   was primarily due to the negative impact of the lower translated value of
   the foreign currency denominated operations.  The Canadian subsidiary's
   move to a new distribution center and the repair to a major piece of
   manufacturing equipment as discussed in the firt quarter Form 10-Q also
   negatively impacted the six month results.

   Financial Condition:

   Operating Activities.

   Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
   30, 1994 was $8.8 million less than in the same period last year.  The
   increase in cash flow from higher earnings and increased non-cash charges
   for depreciation and amortization was more than offset by this year's net
   change in operating assets (higher accounts receivable and inventory in
   line with higher volume) and liabilities (higher deferred income taxes).

   Investing Activities.

   During the quarter the Company spent approximately $16 million on capital
   expenditures, bringing the total to $24 million for the six months to-
   date.  This compares to $11.3 and $20.8 million, respectively, for the
   same periods in the previous year.  The Company funded these capital
   expenditures from its operational cash flow.  The Company's excess funds
   are invested over various terms, but only instruments with an original
   maturity date of over 90 days are classified as investments.

   Financing Activities.

   Cash dividends totaled $4.6 million for the quarter and $9.4 million for
   the six months to-date.  The Company purchased 438,800 shares of its
   outstanding Common and Class A Common stock during the quarter, at
   prevailing market prices, for $21.7 million, bringing the total for the
   six months to-date to 596,800 shares purchased for $29.7 million.  Cash
   dividends and stock purchases were both funded from operational cash
   flows.  The short-term borrowing activity during the quarter was primarily
   by the Company's Western European operation to fund its current cash flow
   needs.  The Company continues to have $117 million in funds available
   under unused lines of credit and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
