                              (UNAUDITED)



Note 1 -  Foregoing data has been prepared from the unaudited

1996 and April 21, 1995 and the 2-for-1 Stock Split effective on

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

The following is Management's discussion of the Company's
operating results and analysis of factors which have affected the
accompanying Statement of Earnings:

NET SALES:
                                                 Second Quarter,
1996
                  Second Quarter                          vs.
                1996          1995               Second Quarter,
1995
            $72,511,335     $68,774,216                 +5.4%

                                                  First Half,
1996
                   First Half                            vs.
                1996          1995                First Half,
1995
            $135,776,189   $129,043,421                 +5.2%

Second Quarter 1996 net sales of $72,511,335, a record, were up
5.4% from the Second Quarter 1995 net sales of $68,774,216.

First Half of 1996 net sales of $135,776,189 were up 5.2% from
First Half of 1995 net sales of $129,043,421.

Second Quarter 1996 net sales of $72,511,335 were up 14.6% from
First Quarter 1996 net sales of $63,264,854.

Record sales for the Second Quarter and First Half of 1996 are
principally attributable to volume increases.  Sales rose
primarily as a result of successful promotional programs, product
line extensions and the introduction of new products into
distribution channels.  Consolidated sales were also favorably
affected by improved results in Mexico and Canada.

COST OF SALES:
                                               Cost of Sales as a
            Second Quarter                  Percentage of Net
Sales
          1996           1995             2nd Qtr. 1996  2nd Qtr.
1995
      $37,219,507    $35,718,429                51.3%         
51.9%

                                              Cost of Sales as a
              First Half                   Percentage of Net
Sales
         1996           1995             1st Half 1996  1st Half
1995
     $69,797,766    $66,421,289                51.4%        51.5%

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased from 51.9%
for the Second Quarter of 1995 to 51.3% for the Second Quarter of
1996. First Half cost of sales also decreased from 51.5% in 1995
to 51.4% for the same period in 1996.  This improvement reflects
lower prices in certain ingredients and packaging material costs
and some changes in the sales mix of products.

NET EARNINGS:
                                            Second Quarter, 1996
         Second  Quarter                            vs.
         1996          1995                 Second Quarter, 1995
     $ 9,327,117    $ 8,326,457                  12.0%

                                              First Half, 1996
           First Half                                vs.
         1996          1995                   First Half, 1995
     $17,445,079    $15,644,927                     +11.5%


Second Quarter 1996 net earnings of $9,327,117 or $.41 per share,
a record, were up 12.0% from net earnings of $8,326,457 or $.36
per share for the Second Quarter of 1995.

First Half 1996 net earnings of $17,445,079 or $.76 per share,
also a new record, were up 11.5% from the prior year's First Half
net earnings of $15,644,927 or $.68 per share.

Net earnings for the Second Quarter of 1996 of $9,327,117
increased   $1,209,155 or 14.9% from First Quarter of 1996 net
earnings of        $8,117,962.

The increase in net earnings reflects higher sales and effective
cost control programs that resulted in higher operating income.
