* The 1996 quarterly results reflect the company's sale of its Fournier
Furniture business effective February 26, 1996, and the liquidation of its
Daystrom Furniture business during the second half of the year. During the
second quarter of 1997, one of the company's business units changed its
inventory accounting from the LIFO method to the FIFO method. The effect on the
company's consolidated results of operations was immaterial. All quarterly
information presented here has been restated to reflect this accounting change.
