Dear Fellow Shareholder:
 
     This letter is to remind you of our upcoming Special Meeting in Lieu of the
Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which is currently scheduled to be held at 1:00
p.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, August 2, 1995 at the Company's Corporate
Offices. Regardless of whether you plan to attend in person, it is important
that your shares be represented and voted at the meeting. To that end, I have
enclosed an additional proxy card for you to sign, date and mail in the enclosed
envelope in case you have not done so already.
 
     Your voting participation is especially important this year. As you know,
in addition to the normal election of Directors, the Company is seeking your
approval of an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation which would, among
other things, create two classes of common shares, one voting and one nonvoting
and change each issued Common Share into one voting Class A Common Share and one
nonvoting Class B Common Share. The Class A Common Shares would have essentially
the same voting rights as the existing Common Shares, and the Class B Common
Shares would be nonvoting, except as otherwise required by law. The specific
features of these two classes of common shares are described in the Company's
Proxy Statement, dated July 6, 1995, which has previously been delivered to you.
To be effective, the amendment requires a majority vote of all outstanding
common shares.
 
     YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS BELIEVES THAT THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT IS
IMPORTANT TO THE LONG-TERM FUTURE OF THE COMPANY AND STRONGLY RECOMMENDS THAT
YOU VOTE "FOR" THE ADOPTION OF THE AMENDMENT. The reasons for the Board's
recommendation as well as certain other important information are contained in
the proxy statement.
 
     The Company welcomes the opportunity to answer any questions you may have
regarding the proposed amendment. Should you have any remaining questions after
carefully reviewing the Proxy Statement, please feel free to contact Robert
Norton, Vice Chairman of the Board at (216) 656-2600. I urge you to vote, sign,
date and mail the enclosed proxy in the envelope provided.
 
                                            Sincerely,
 
                                            Chairman of the Board,
                                            President and Chief Executive
                                            Officer
