               In its own publications, TPC describes itself as follows:              


                                      Thomas                                          
                                    Publishing                                        
                                      Company                                         

                     Your product information headquarters                            

                    For more than 95 years, Thomas Publishing Company has             
               concentrated its full energies on filling one of industry’s            
               greatest needs...the need for up-to-date product information.  No      
               other publisher is as totally dedicated to this mission.               
                    Decision makers throughout industry need product information      
               to operate their companies successfully.  Regardless of job            
               function, the hunger for up-to-date product information is             
               universal.  It’s given priority attention because industry’s           
               appetite for products and services of every type is enormous.  It      
               can be filled only when buying influences have comprehensive,          
               reliable, up-to-date vendor information.  It influences                
               profitability profoundly because dozens of new products enter the      
               marketplace daily -- providing new functional and economic             
               benefits.  To not keep up with these developments means operating      
               without the benefit of these improvements.  And ultimately that        
               means relinquishing market position to one’s competitors.              
                    Thomas Publishing Company has become the acknowledged leader      
               in providing industry with the product information it needs.           
               Today, we publish twenty-four major buying guides, thirty-one          
               product news magazines, two product information exchange services,     
               a magazine on factory automation, and a publication to help buyers     
               select the most cost-efficient transportation modes for their          
               inbound freight.  In addition, Thomas Business Lists offers
