3.  Earnings per Common Share and Common Equivalent Share

     Earnings per common share and common equivalent share were calculated
using the weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period.  The weighted average number of common shares
actually outstanding was increased by the number of shares issuable on the
exercise of the dilutive stock options when the market price of the common
shares exceeds the option price granted.  This increase in the number of common
shares was reduced by the number of common shares that are assumed to have been
repurchased with the proceeds from the exercise of the stock options; those
repurchases were assumed to have been made at the average price of the common
stock during the period.

     Legal Proceedings

     The Company is from time to time subject to various claims from existing
or former employees alleging gender, age or racial discrimination and
anti-union activity, none of which are expected to have a material adverse
affect on the Company.  In addition, as a manufacturer of industrial products,
the Company is, from time to time, subjected to various product liability
claims.  Such claims typically involve personal injury or wrongful death
associated with the use or misuse of the Company's products.  While such claims
have not been material to the Company in any year and the Company believes that
it maintains adequate product liability insurance, there can be no assurance
that such insurance will continue to be available on terms acceptable to the
Company.  Any product liability claim not fully covered by insurance, as well
as any adverse publicity from a product liability claim, could have a material
adverse effect on the Company.  The Company is currently defending a few legal
proceedings involving product liability claims relating to McClain, Galion Dump
and E-Z Pack brand products.  Galion Holding, pursuant to an indemnification it
provided Peabody Galion Division of Peabody International Corporation
("Peabody") in connection with the Galion Acquisition, is currently defending a
number of legal proceedings involving product liability claims arising out of
products manufactured by Peabody prior to the date of the Galion Acquisition.
These claims are also covered by insurance.  Although the Company has already
settled many of these cases and the Company believes that it can continue to
successfully resolve these product liability claims, there can be no assurance
that the Company can continue to do so. The Company is not presently a party to
any material legal proceedings except as described above.

     Environmental Matters

The Company's operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local
regulation under environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other
things, emissions into the air, discharges into the waters and the generation,
handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste and other
materials.  Inherent in manufacturing operations and in owning real estate is
the risk of environmental liabilities as a result of both current and past      
operations, which cannot be predicted with certainty.  The Company has incurred
and will continue to incur costs, on an ongoing basis, associated with
environmental regulatory compliance in its business.

                DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




     Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (Quarter 1996) increased
17.73% to $24.9 million from $21.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
(Quarter 1995).  Management believes the increase in sales is primarily
attributable to the restructuring of the sales department begun in the first
quarter of fiscal 1996.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased
to 73.88% for the Quarter 1996 from 73.83% for the Quarter 1995 due primarily
to higher raw material costs.  Selling, General and Administrative expenses
decreased to 12.32% of net sales for the Quarter 1996 from 15.43% for the
Quarter 1995 primarily due to the higher sales volume.

     Net sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 decreased  1.85% to
$62.0  million from $63.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 decreased to 75.91% from
76.3 % for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  Selling, General and
Administrative expenses increased to 15.30% of net sales for the nine months
ended June 30, 1996 from 14.5% for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 due
primarily to the lower sales volume, particularly in the first  quarter of
fiscal 1996.

                DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                 DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION



     The Company had working capital of approximately $36.1 million at June 30,
1996 compared to $33.9 million  at September 30, 1995.  The ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 3.29 to 1 at June 30, 1996 compared to 3.37
to 1 at September 30, 1995.  Cash flows provided by operations were $2.5
million for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 primarily due to the reduction
in inventory levels.  During this period the Company utilized $1.2  million for
the acquisition of machinery and equipment.  The increase in leasing activity
and machinery and equipment acquisitions were financed primarily by borrowings.
