Notes:  All common share and per share amounts have been adjusted for the
2-for-1 stock split which was made in the form of a stock dividend in 1992.
This calculation is presented in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, although it is not required disclosure under APB Opinion No. 15. Net
earnings per share of common stock computed on a fully diluted basis are based
on the average number of common shares outstanding during each year after
adjustment for individual securities which may be dilutive.  Securities entering
into consideration in making this calculation are common shares issuable under
employee incentive stock plans.  Employee stock options outstanding have been
included in the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share by applying the
"Treasury Stock" Method quarterly.  Such calculations have been made using the
higher of the average month-end market prices or the market prices at the end of
the quarter, in order to reflect the maximum potential dilution.
