   context of these comments refers to the shipments of precured tread rubber
   only, the Company's major manufactured product used in retreading tires.) 
   The increase in net sales was greater than the increase in unit volume for
   both the quarter and six months to-date as a result of higher selling
   prices, higher translated value of the Company's foreign currency
   denominated sales, and higher retread equipment sales.  Second quarter
   demand was soft, because of hedge-buying in the first quarter in some
   markets in response to price increases and the slowdown in the economy.

   Consolidated gross margin for the second quarter was 1.3 percentages
   points lower than the same period last year, and one percentage point
   lower for the six months to-date.  The lower consolidated gross margin for
   the six month period was a direct result of a lower domestic gross margin
   which is explained later in this section.  Gross margin improved from the
   first quarter of 1995 because of increased manufacturing efficiencies from
   higher production necessary to increase inventory levels in anticipation
   of the higher level of shipments in the third and fourth quarters, which
   are the strongest quarters in the Company's normal seasonal business
   cycle.

   Consolidated operating expenses for the quarter and six months were 8% and
   13% higher, respectively, than the same periods last year, although, as a
   percentage of sales, they were 1.4 points lower than in the same periods
   last year.  The dollar increase was primarily due to higher spending on
   marketing related programs, professional expenses, and R&D projects.  The
   unfavorable impact of currency rates on foreign currency denominated
   expenses was also a contributing factor.

   Consolidated net earnings for the quarter and six months were 15% and 20%
   higher, respectively, than the same periods last year, which was in line
   with the respective increases in net sales.  Consolidated net earnings per
   share for the same periods were 22% and 26% higher, respectively, than
   last year.  The higher increases in net earnings per share, compared to
   the increases in net earnings, were due to the impact of fewer average
   shares outstanding in 1995 because of the Company's ongoing share
   repurchase program.

                               Domestic Operations

   Sales for the Company's domestic operations for the second quarter,
   including export shipments to various Latin American, South American, and
   Asian countries, were 12% higher than the same period last year, while
   unit volume was basically even.  For the six months, sales and unit volume
   were 19% and 5% higher than the same period last year.  The sales
   increases for both the quarter and six months were higher than the unit
   volume increases due to the combination of higher retread material selling
   prices and higher equipment sales.

   Gross margin for the second quarter was 2.4 percentage points lower than
   last year's quarter and 2.6 percentage points lower for the six months
   to-date primarily due to higher raw material costs.  Raw material costs
   increased an additional 8.6% during the second quarter, but the Company
   chose not to increase selling prices to its dealers sufficient to maintain
   full margin because of industry forecasts calling for raw material costs
   to decline later this year.

   The domestic operation's operating expenses for the quarter and six months
   were 12% and 19% higher, respectively, than the same periods last year,
   but spending as a percentage of sales was still equal to or slightly
   lower.  The increase in spending was primarily for marketing programs and
   R&D projects.

   Earnings before taxes increased 1% and 5% for the quarter and six months,
   respectively, compared to the same periods last year.

                           Western European Operations

   Although not as strong as in the first quarter, second quarter sales and
   unit volume for the Company's Western European operations continued well
   above last year, with increases of 27% and 7%, respectively.  Sales and
   unit volume for the six months were 25% and 12% higher, respectively, than
   last year.  The increase in sales was greater than the increase in unit
   volume for both the quarter and six months due to favorable translation
   rates and higher selling prices, offset somewhat for the six month period
   by lower equipment sales.

   Gross margin for the second quarter increased 2.3 percentage points over
   the same period last year and was 2.0 percentage points higher for the six
   months due to a combination of higher unit production and higher selling
   prices relative to cost increases.

   Operating expenses in U.S. dollars for the second quarter and six months
   increased 15% and 20%, respectively, over the same periods last year,
   primarily as a result of unfavorable translation rates.  Expenses for the
   quarter stated in local currencies were basically even with last year, and
   only 5% higher for the six months to-date.

   Earnings before income taxes for the second quarter and six months
   improved greatly compared to last year's loss position.

                            Other Foreign Operations

   Combined second quarter sales for the other combined geographic areas
   increased 21% on a 7% increase in unit volume, while sales and unit volume
   for the six months increased 25% and 11%, respectively, over the same
   period last year.  Except in Mexico, sales for the Company's other foreign
   operations were higher than the volume increases as a result of higher
   selling prices.  In Mexico, sales and unit volume for the second quarter
   were 34% and 21% lower, respectively, than last year and 39% and 25%
   lower, respectively, for the six months to-date, reflecting the country's
   continuing weak economic conditions.

   In Brazil, results continued strong with sales and unit volume for the
   second quarter 52% and 26% higher, respectively, than the same period last
   year, while sales and unit volume for the six months to-date were 59% and
   27% higher, respectively.

   The combined gross margin for the Company's other foreign operations was
   even with the same period last year for the second quarter and two
   percentage points higher than last year for the six months to-date.  In
   Brazil, gross margin improved six percentage points during the quarter,
   which offset a margin shortfall in Mexico.

   Combined operating expenses for the quarter and six months for the
   Company's other foreign operations were 18% and 9% lower, respectively,
   than the same periods last year.  Operating expenses in Brazil and New
   Zealand were higher than last year for both the quarter and six months,
   but this was offset by lower spending in the other foreign operations,
   with the Mexico operation showing the majority of the decrease due to
   lower personnel related expenses.

   Earnings before income taxes for the quarter and six months were 81% and
   112% higher, respectively, than the same periods last year, due primarily
   to the strong results in the quarter in Brazil and in the six months
   to-date by the Brazilian and Canadian operations.

   Financial Condition:

   Operating Activities.
   Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June
   30, 1995 was $9.3 million higher than the amount for the same period last
   year as a result of a $7.4 million increase in earnings and a $2.3 million
   favorable net change in operating assets and liabilities (higher
   receivables and inventory, partially offset by increased current
   liabilities), somewhat offset by lower depreciation and amortization.

   Investing Activities. 
   The Company's capital expenditures totaled $6.7 million for the second
   quarter ended June 30, 1995, bringing the year-to-date total to $13.1
   million.  This compares to $16.0 million and $24.0 million, respectively,
   for the same periods last year.

   The Company's investments decreased $6.4 million from last year with the
   funds being used, in part, to finance increased dividends paid and the
   purchases of Common Stock.  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 $5.1 million and $10.3 million for the quarter and
   six months, respectively.  The Company purchased 476,400 shares of its
   outstanding Common and Class A Common stock, at prevailing market prices,
   for $27.5 million during the second quarter, bringing the total for the
   six months to 597,400 shares purchased for $33.9 million.  Both cash
   dividends and stock purchases are funded from operational cash flows.  The
   short-term borrowing during the quarter and six months was primarily by
   the Company's Western European operation to fund its current cash flow
   needs.

   The Company continues to have $132 million available under unused lines of
   credit, and foreign credit and overdraft facilities.
