Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. 

     Net sales for the first quarter of 1996 increased 8.5 percent to
$12,018,000 compared to $11,072,000 for the same period in 1995.  Included in
the sales numbers for 1996 are revenues of $532,000 which were attributable
to Latshaw's acquisition and operation of the assets of I.H. Molding, Inc.
in Dallas, Texas.  This acquisition was completed September 1, 1995.  Excluding
the I.H. Molding revenue, comparable year-to-year divisional sales increased
3.7 percent.  Although the Company is experiencing sales increases, the rate of
growth has been slowing.  This appears to be a reflection of the trend in the
general economy.
  
     Gross profit was 22.7 percent in the first quarter of 1996 compared to
22.7 percent for the same period in 1995.  Slightly higher material costs were
offset by operating efficiencies resulting from the higher sales volume.  The
Company has seen the price of certain components of raw material such as 
plastic resin and wire begin to plateau and in some cases decrease.  Management
does not know whether this trend will continue.

   Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $164,000 in the
first quarter of 1996 when compared to the same period in 1995.  As a
percentage of sales these costs were 15.0 percent in 1996 versus 14.8
percent in 1995.  The higher costs in 1996 were primarily the result of 
increased commissions and performance bonuses due to the higher sales volume. 

     Interest expense was $149,000 for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
$113,000 for the same period a year earlier.  This increase was due to
additional debt incurred to meet the working capital requirements of higher
sales volume plus bank borrowings used to fund asset acquisitions.  

     In May 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."  The Company adopted the provisions
of the new standard for investments held as of or acquired after October 30,
1994.  Under SFAS No. 115, marketable equity securities held by the Company 
are classified as available for sale.  Available for sale securities are 
carried at fair market value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of 
tax, reported as a separate component of shareholders' equity.

     The effective income tax rate was 36.8 percent in the first quarter of
1996 compared to 37.1 percent in the first quarter of 1995.

     The Company had net income for the first quarter in 1996 of $487,000 or
94 cents per share (primary) and 52 cents per share (fully diluted).  For the
same period in 1995 the Company had a net profit of $473,000 or 91 cents per
share (primary) and 50 cents per share (fully diluted).

     The computation of primary earnings per common and common equivalent
share is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and
additional shares assuming the exercise of dilutive stock options.  The
computation of fully diluted earnings per share assumes conversion of the
variable interest rate convertible debentures.

     In the first quarter of 1996, the Company used $236,000 in its operating
activities and $584,000 for its investment in property, plant and equipment. 
These cash uses were funded by drawing on the available bank lines of credit.  
Growth in trade receivables was the primary reason for this cash 
requirement which resulted primarily from the effects of higher sales volume.

     As of February 3, 1996, the Company, through its subsidiary Wescon
Products, had an unused line of credit for short-term bank borrowings of
$1,600,000 remaining on the $6,000,000 available, providing for interest at
prime.  The Company, through its subsidiary Helton, Inc., also has outstanding
borrowings of $75,000 at February 3, 1996 on a $350,000 bank line of credit. 
Management believes that the combination of funds available through its bank
lines of credit along with the anticipated cash flow from operations will
provide the capital resources necessary to meet the Company's working capital
needs.  Despite the Company's existing capital resources, opportunities may
arise that Management believes would enhance the value of the Company that
could require financing not currently provided for.  There were no significant
capital expenditure commitments outstanding at February 3, 1996.


PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. - Legal Proceedings

     Except as set forth below, there are no material pending legal
proceedings other than ordinary routine litigation incidental
to the business, to which either the Company or its subsidiaries are a party
or of which any of the property of such entities is the subject.

     On August 13, 1993 the Company received an inquiry from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") concerning the disposal of hazardous
substances at the Doepke-Holliday Super Fund Site (the "Site") in Johnson
County, Kansas.  In the letter, the EPA stated that it had information
indicating that wastes from the Company were disposed of at the Site.  The
Company has no records of any such disposal of wastes at the Site.  However,
the Company no longer has access to most of the records of two divisions which
it operated during the relevant time period and subsequently sold, a paint and
chemical coatings division and a manufactured housing division.

     The Company has agreed to participate in the Holliday Remediation
Task Force (the Task Force), a group of potentially responsible parties for
the Site.  The Task Force currently has 40 active members and is negotiating
participation by other potentially responsible parties.  Parties who join the
task force agree to participate at one of five specified levels of
contribution based upon the Task Force's assessment of liability and to pay a
portion of future response and remediation costs based upon their specified
level of contribution.  The Company will participate in the third contribution
level and the Task Force's preliminary estimate of the amount of financial
contribution which may be required from the Company at that level is $75,000
to $100,000.  A consent decree between the Task Force and the EPA has been
executed and filed with the United States District Court for the District of
Kansas.  Neither ultimate liabilty nor costs are ascertainable at this time.
Based upon the information provided by the Task Force, the Company estimates
the amount of the financial contribution by the Company, including legal and
consulting costs associated with the contingency, that may be required will
be $150,000.

     At October 29, 1994, the Company accrued a current liability of $150,000
relating to this contingency.  The Company paid approximately $25,000 with
respect to this matter during fiscal year 1995, and its accrued expenses at
October 28, 1995 and February 3, 1996 includes a current liability of 
$125,000 relating to this contingency.  The Company does not expect final 
closure of this matter during fiscal year 1996.  As a result of this matter, 
the Company has requested copies of insurance policies that were in effect 
during the period the contamination allegedly took place.  The Company plans 
to evalute the coverage that existed during this period and determine whether 
a claim should be filed with the carrier.  The Company's ability to obtain 
contribution from the insurance carrier is not ascertainable at this time.

     In the event the Company ultimately pays certain costs as a 
potentially responsible party, it is the opinion of management, based 
upon currently available information, that any such costs or liability 
are not likely to materially vary from the amount accrued at October 28, 
1995 and February 3, 1996.
