(1)  Amounts shown are used to calculate primary earnings per share.
(2)  Per share and share data have been restated to reflect the Company's
     two-for-one stock split.
(3)  Summation of the quarters' earnings per common share may not equal the
     annual amounts due to the averaging effect of the number of shares and
     share equivalents throughout the year.
(4)  Prices represent the range of sales per share on the New York Stock
     Exchange for the periods indicated. The number of stockholders of record at
     November 30, 1997 approximated 192,440. The number of beneficial owners of
     common stock is believed to exceed this number.
