Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
          ------------------------------------

     On  November  13,  2002, the Company purchased  all  of  the
outstanding stock of Columbus, Kansas-based Calibrated Forms Co.,
Inc.  (Calibrated)  effective  as  of  November  14,  2002.   The
purchase price for the transaction was $22,000,000, less excluded
liabilities  of  $7,195,060, and was evidenced by two  promissory
notes bearing interest at 3.75% per annum maturing on January  3,
2003.    In   addition,  the  Purchase  Agreement  provides   for
additional consideration in the form of an earn-out.   The  earn-
out  will  be  50%  of  the amount, if any, of  the  Calibrated's
EBITDA,  as  defined  in  the Purchase Agreement,  in  excess  of
$6,300,000  each  year, to a maximum amount of $3,000,000.   This
earn-out  will  be  paid  as  long  as  one  of  the  two  former
shareholders, acceptable to Ennis, is employed as General Manager
of  Calibrated on a full-time basis during the entire fiscal year
for   which   the   earn-out   is  paid.    Calibrated   designs,
manufacturers  and  markets  printed business  forms  within  the
