Dear Mr. Flaherty:

      We have reviewed the above referenced filings and have the
following comments.  We have limited our review to your financial
statements and related disclosures and will make no further review
of
your documents.  Where indicated, we think you should revise your
document in response to these comments in future filings.  If you
disagree, we will consider your explanation as to why our comment
is
inapplicable or a revision is unnecessary.  Please be as detailed
as
necessary in your explanation.  In some of our comments, we may
ask
you to provide us with supplemental information so we may better
understand your disclosure.  After reviewing this information, we
may
or may not raise additional comments.

	Please understand that the purpose of our review process is
to
assist you in your compliance with the applicable disclosure
requirements and to enhance the overall disclosure in your filing.
We look forward to working with you in these respects.  We welcome
any questions you may have about our comments or any other aspect
of
our review.  Feel free to call us at the telephone numbers listed
at
the end of this letter.

of EITF 00-10.

of goods sold line item and the costs included in selling, general

and
administrative expenses.

Note 5:  Credit Arrangements, page 22

Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Please disclose the origin
of
the debt origination costs, the credit arrangement they pertain
to,
and the amortization period.

Note 7:  Commitments, page 24

4. In future filings, please disclose the terms of renewal options
and escalation clauses.  See paragraph 16d.ii. of FAS 13.

Note 11:  Dividends, page 30

significant
restrictions on the payment of dividends, indicating the sources,
pertinent provisions, and the amount of retained earnings or net
income restricted or free of restrictions.  See Regulation S-X,
Rule

Management`s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations

General

6. In future filings, in MD&A, please include a discussion
regarding
the impact of recently issued accounting standards on your
financial
statements.  See SAB Topic 11:M.  If, by the nature of the
pronouncement, it is clear that it will have no impact on you, no
further discussion is needed.  Unless it is clear from your Form
10-K
that a standard will not apply to you, then affirmatively indicate
the anticipated effect of adoption.  To the extent the
pronouncement
will have a material effect on your financial statements; such
disclosure should be considered in the financial statements as set
forth in the SAB.

Results of Operations, page 39

7. In future filings, please include a tabular presentation of net
sales revenues by product category for the periods presented and
expand your narrative discussion to indicate the extent to which
material changes are attributable to pricing, mix or volume of
goods
sold.  Clarify why direct sales shipments lower your gross margin
and
why there were higher than anticipated customer allowances.
Please
refer to SEC Release No. 33-8350 and Item 303(a)(3)(iii) of
Regulation S-K.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, page
42

8. In future filings, please provide information about your market
risk exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates in
accordance with Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

Critical Accounting Policies, page 43

9. In future filings, revise your disclosures to present a more
robust discussion as to why these are critical accounting
policies.
Such disclosure should supplement, not duplicate, the description
of
accounting policies that are already disclosed in the notes to the
financial statements. The disclosure should provide greater
insight
into the quality and variability of information regarding
financial
condition and operating performance.  The discussion in MD&A
should
present your analysis of the uncertainties involved in applying a
principle at a given time or the variability that is reasonably
likely to result from its application over time.
* Discuss why management believes the accounting policy is
critical;
* Discuss how accurate your estimates and assumptions have been in
the past, how much they have changed in the past and whether they
are
likely to change in the future;
* Include quantitative disclosure of your sensitivity to change
based
on other outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and that
would
have a material effect on the company.

      Refer to Item V of Release Nos. 33-8350/34-48960.
