           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1. The  information included herein reflects all adjustments (none of which
   were other than normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of  the
   Company, are necessary to a fair statement of the financial position  as
   of  November  30,  1995  and  February 28,  1995,  and  the  results  of
   operations  and  cash flows for the three months and nine  months  ended
   November 30, 1995 and 1994.

2. Earnings  per  common  share amounts are based on the  weighted  average
   number   of   shares  outstanding  during  the  period.   Common   stock
   equivalents  (options see Note 3) have not been included in  determining
   earnings  per common share amounts because their inclusion,  either  for
   purposes  of  computing  primary or fully diluted  earnings  per  share,
   would  not  produce  sufficient incremental shares (using  the  treasury
   stock method) to reduce the per share amounts shown.

3. As  of  November  30, 1995, the Company has reserved 378,958  shares  of
   common stock under incentive stock options plans.

4. The  Company  uses the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method of  pricing  the
   raw  material content of most of its business forms inventories, and the
   First-In,  First-Out (FIFO) method is used to value the remainder.   The
   following  table summarizes the components of inventory at the different
   stages of production (in thousands of dollars):

                                 November 30,     February 28,

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



Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At November 30, 1995, the Company's financial position continues to be
strong.  Working capital increased from $46,289,000 at February 28, 1995 to
$51,186,000 at November 30, 1995.  The increase is due to cash provided  by
operating activities.  The Company's cash flow from operations continues to
be  adequate  to  sustain operations, meet debt repayment requirements  and
fund capital additions.  No liquidity problems are anticipated.


Results of Operations

      Net  sales  for the quarter and nine months ended November  30,  1995
increased  4.5% and 3.6%, respectively, from the corresponding  periods  in
the  prior year.  Gross margins for the three months and nine months  ended
November 30, 1995 increased 5.9% and 1%, respectively over the same periods
in the prior year.  Because of competitive market conditions and the amount
and  frequency of raw material price increases during the first half of the
year  our  selling price increases have lagged behind cost increases.   Raw
material  prices  have stabilized recently and our selling price  increases
are  catching up to the past raw material cost increases.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses increased 8.7% and 9.3% for the three-month and
nine-month periods, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods  in
the prior year.  Increases in selling and marketing efforts and expenses of
our  Mexico  operation  account for the increases.   Investment  and  other
income  increased in the current year over the prior year due to  increased
amounts  of funds available for investments.  The effective rate of Federal
and state income tax expense is substantially unchanged from year-to-year.
