   the stronger U.S. dollar having a negative impact on the translated value
   of foreign currency denominated sales.  Sales and unit volume for the
   Company's domestic operation, which includes export, were 5% higher than
   the same period last year.  Unit volume for the Company's Western European
   operations ended the quarter approximately equal to last year, which
   followed the recent trend.  Western European sales increased 6% over last
   year, in local currency, but were approximately 2% lower when translated
   to U.S. dollars.  Western Europe's sales increase was due to a more
   favorable sales mix among various countries and higher equipment sales. 
   Unit volume for the other combined geographic areas increased 15% over
   last year, but sales increased only 6%, again due to the lower translated
   value of foreign currency denominated sales.

   Consolidated gross margin for the first quarter was even with the same
   period last year, but one percentage point below the fourth quarter of
   last year.  This is in line with the Company's normal business cycle, with
   the first quarter usually being the slowest quarter of the year with its
   lower production resulting in less favorable overhead absorption. Since
   mid-year 1992 the Company has experienced higher raw material costs, which
   the Company has absorbed rather than passing on to its dealers.  Since raw
   material costs continue to increase, and further increases are likely, the
   Company announced selling price increases effective April 15, 1994 in the
   U.S., Canadian and certain export markets.  Despite the mid-April
   announcement, the impact of these increases will not be evident in the
   Company's financial results until the latter part of the second quarter
   because the Company gives dealers a special allowance to offset the higher
   material prices until such time as their end-user price increases can be
   implemented.   

   Net earnings for the first quarter increased 11% over the same period last
   year and earnings per share increased 12%, despite a one percentage point
   increase in the Company's effective income tax rate.  Other income
   included 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.  Although consolidated operating expenses were 2.7% higher
   than last year in absolute terms, they were approximately even with last
   year as a percentage of sales.

   Except for the gain from the sale of equity securities, the Company's
   domestic earnings before income taxes increased at approximately the same
   rate as sales because of a proportional increase in operating expenses.

   Earnings before income taxes for the Company's Western European operations
   improved this year to 4% of sales, versus break-even in the previous year,
   due to lower spending for marketing programs.

   Earnings before income taxes for the combined other foreign operations
   decreased approximately 31% from last year primarily due to lower earnings
   by the Company's Canadian operations.  These lower earnings were primarily
   due to significantly lower production, resulting in unfavorable overhead
   absorption, and a higher proportion of product being sourced from the U.S.
   at intercompany prices which exceeded local manufacturing costs.  Both
   were attributable to a shutdown of the Company's Canadian plant for the
   purposes of completing the relocation of finished goods inventory to an
   off-site distribution center begun in 1993 and repairing a major piece of
   manufacturing equipment.  This shutdown did not impact delivery of product
   to the Company's Canadian dealers as needed product was supplemented from
   the U.S.

   Financial Condition:

   Operating Activities.

   The Company's net cash provided by operating activities for the three
   months ended March 31, 1994 was $3.4 million less than in the same period
   last year.  The increase in cash flow from higher earnings and non-cash
   charges for depreciation was more than offset by this year's smaller
   seasonal decrease in accounts receivables because of the relatively
   stronger sales in this year's quarter.

   Investing Activities.

   During the quarter the Company spent about $8 million on capital
   expenditures, which compares to $9.6 million for the same period in the
   previous year.  The Company funded these capital expenditures from its
   operational cash flow.  During the quarter the Company increased its
   investments by $10.4 million, net of maturities.  Excess funds are
   invested over various terms, but only instruments with maturities greater
   than 3 months when purchased are classified as investments.

   Financing Activities.

   Cash dividends amounted to $4.7 million for the quarter as dividends
   increased from $.1625 per share to $.175 per share, a 7.7% increase on a
   per share basis.  The Company purchased 158,000 shares of its outstanding
   Common and Class A Common stock during the quarter, at prevailing market
   prices, for $7.8 million.  The cash dividends and stock purchases were
   funded from operational cash flows.  The Company sold a portion of its
   long-term marketable equity securities for $2.4 million in the quarter,
   for reasons cited in the net earnings comments above.  The Company
   continues to have $117 million in funds available under unused lines of
   credit and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
