Kimberly-Clark Announces Gain on Sale of Midwest Express Shares

DALLAS, September 22, 1995--Kimberly-Clark Corporation today
announced it expects to report a third-quarter gain of approximately $35
million, or 22 cents per share, on the initial public offering of shares of
Midwest Express Holdings, Inc.,  which will own Midwest Express
Airlines, Inc. and Astral Aviation, Inc.  The offering was priced at $18 per
share.
     Kimberly-Clark said the gain is based on the sale of 4.5 million shares,
or 70 percent, of the common stock.  The underwriters have been granted
a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 640,000 shares, or 10
percent, of the outstanding stock at the same price to cover over-
allotments.  If the option is exercised in full, Kimberly-Clark's gain will
increase to approximately $40 million, or 25 cents per share.
     "The offering is part of our strategy of divesting non-core businesses to
focus more aggressively on the global expansion of our consumer and
paper products," said Wayne R. Sanders, chairman of the board and chief
executive officer of Kimberly-Clark.  "With this move, Midwest Express
becomes a publicly traded company, and Kimberly-Clark remains its largest
shareholder."
     Net proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate
purposes.  Kimberly-Clark said it expects to release third-quarter earnings
on October 23.
