-3-

--	pricing, purchasing, financing and promotional decisions by intermediaries in our distribution channels; and

For the purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges, less interest capitalized, preferred stock dividends and premium on redemption of preferred stock. Fixed charges consist of interest expensed and capitalized, amortization of debt expenses, 8.5% of rent expenses, which is deemed representative of an interest factor, preferred stock dividends and premium on redemption of preferred stock.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

     We may issue debt securities in one or more series under an Indenture (the “Indenture”) between us and a qualified trustee named in the Indenture, as trustee. The Indenture will be subject to, and governed by, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

     The following summary of certain provisions of the Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by express reference to the Indenture and the Securities Resolution which establishes a series of debt securities (“Securities Resolution”) or the supplemental indenture authorizing a series. Copies of these documents will be filed with the SEC. Capitalized terms used in this section without definition have the meanings to be given such terms in the Indenture.

     The particular terms of the debt securities offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in that supplement, along with any applicable modifications of or additions to the general terms of the debt securities as described herein and in the Indenture. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any series of debt securities, reference must be made to both the description of the debt securities in this prospectus and the prospectus supplement.

General

     The Indenture does not limit the amount of debt securities that can be issued or our ability or that of our subsidiaries to incur, assure or guarantee debt. Also, the Indenture does not restrict our ability or that of our subsidiaries to create or permit liens. It provides that the debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to the terms of one or more Securities Resolutions or supplemental indentures creating the series.

     As of the date of this prospectus, there were no debt securities outstanding under the Indenture. The ranking of a series of debt securities with respect to all our indebtedness will be established by a Securities Resolution or supplemental indenture creating the series.

Terms

     If we offer debt securities pursuant to this prospectus, the accompanying prospectus supplement will describe the following terms, if applicable, of those debt securities:

• the designation, denominations, aggregate principal amount, currency or composite currency in which principal or interest may be paid;

-7-

• the price at which those debt securities will be issued and, if an index formula or other method is used, the method for determining amounts of principal or interest;

• the maturity date and other dates, if any, on which principal will be payable;

• the interest rate or rates, if any, or method of calculating the interest rate or rates;

• the date or dates from which interest will accrue and on which interest will be payable, and the record dates for the payment of interest;

• the manner of paying principal and interest;

• the place or places where principal and interest will be payable;

• provisions relating to subsidiary guarantees, if any;

• the terms of any mandatory or optional redemption by us including any sinking fund;

• whether the debt securities may be converted into or exchanged for common stock or any other securities, and the terms of any conversion or exchange right;

• the terms of any redemption at the option of holders;

• any tax indemnity provisions;

• if the debt securities provide that payments of principal or interest may be made in a currency other than that in which debt securities are denominated, the manner for determining those payments;

• the portion of principal payable upon acceleration of a discounted debt security (as defined below);

• whether and upon what terms debt securities may be defeased;

• whether any events of default or covenants in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in the Indenture apply;

• provisions for electronic issuance of debt securities or for debt securities in uncertificated form;

• the ranking of the debt securities; and

• any other terms not inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture, including any covenants or other terms that may be required or advisable.

     We may issue debt securities as registered debt securities, bearer debt securities or uncertificated debt securities, and in any denominations specified in the terms of the series.

     In connection with its original issuance, no bearer debt security will be offered, sold or delivered to any location in the United States, and a bearer debt security in definitive form may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only upon presentation of a certificate in a form prescribed by us to comply with United States laws and regulations.

     Registration of transfer of registered debt securities may be requested upon surrender thereof at any office or agency we maintain for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements of the agent.

Conversion and Exchange

     The terms, if any, on which debt securities of any series will be convertible into or exchangeable for our common stock or other equity or debt securities, property, cash or obligations, or a combination of any of the foregoing, will be summarized in a prospectus supplement relating to that series. The terms may include provisions for conversion or exchange, either on a mandatory basis, at the option of the holder or at our option.

Covenants

     Any covenants that may apply to a particular series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.

Ranking of Debt Securities

     Unless we otherwise state in a prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be unsecured and will rank equally and ratably with our other unsecured and unsubordinated debt. The Indenture does not limit the ability of any of our subsidiaries (including any guarantor) to issue, assume or guarantee debt, and the debt securities will be

-8-

effectively subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and commitments of our non-guarantor subsidiaries and to any existing and future secured indebtedness of any guarantor subsidiaries.

Successor Obligor

     The Indenture provides that, unless otherwise specified in the securities resolution which establishes a series of debt securities, we shall not consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all of our assets to, any person in any transaction in which we are not the survivor, unless:

• the person is organized under the laws of the United States or a state thereof or is organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States or a state thereof;

• the person assumes by supplemental indenture all of our obligations under the Indenture, the debt securities and any coupons;

• all required approvals of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the transaction shall have been obtained; and

• immediately after the transaction no default, as defined below, exists.

The successor shall be substituted for us, and thereafter all of our obligations under the Indenture, the debt securities and any coupons shall terminate.

Exchange of Debt Securities

     Registered debt securities may be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of registered debt securities of the same series and date of maturity in such authorized denominations as may be requested upon surrender of the registered debt securities at an office or agency we maintain for that purpose and upon fulfillment of all other requirements of our agent.

Default and Remedies

     Unless the Securities Resolution establishing the series otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will so state), an “event of default” with respect to a series of debt securities will occur if:

• we default in any payment of interest on any debt securities of that series when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for the period of time set forth in the indenture;

• we default in the payment of the principal and premium, if any, of any debt securities of the series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity or upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise;

• we default in the performance of any of our other agreements applicable to the series and the default continues for the period of time set forth in the indenture after the notice specified below;

• pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, as defined below, we:

• commence a voluntary case;

• consent to the entry of an order for relief against us in an involuntary case;

• consent to the appointment of a custodian for us or for all or substantially all of our property; or

• make a general assignment for the benefit of our creditors;

• a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

•	is for relief against us in an involuntary case;
•	appoints a custodian for us or for all or substantially all of our property; or
•	orders our liquidation,
	(and in each case the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for the period of time set forth in the Indenture); or

• there occurs any other event of default provided for in such series.

-9-

     The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code or any similar federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or a similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

     The term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or passage of time would be, an event of default. A default is not an event of default until the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the series notify us of the default and we do not cure the default within the time specified after receipt of the notice. If an event of default occurs and is continuing on a series, the trustee by notice to us, or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the series, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the debt securities of the series to be due and payable immediately. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the series, by notice to the trustee, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing events of default on the series have been cured or waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration. If an event of default occurs and is continuing on a series, the trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect principal or interest then due on the series, to enforce the performance of any provision applicable to the series, or otherwise to protect the rights of the trustee and holders of the series.

     The trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the debt securities of the series. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the series may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power with respect to such series. Except in the case of default in payment on a series, the trustee may withhold from holders of that series notice of any continuing default if it determines that withholding the notice is in the interest of holders of the series. We are required to furnish the trustee annually a brief certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture.

     The Indenture does not have a cross-default provision. Thus, a default by us, or any guarantor subsidiary, on any other debt, including any other series of debt securities, would not constitute an event of default. A Securities Resolution which establishes a series of debt securities may provide for a cross-default provision, in which case the prospectus supplement will describe the terms of that provision.

Amendments and Waivers

     The Indenture and the debt securities may be amended, and any default may be waived as follows: Unless a Securities Resolution otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will state that), we and the trustee may amend the debt securities, the Indenture and any coupons with the written consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of all series affected voting as one class. Unless the Securities Resolution otherwise provides (in which event the prospectus supplement will state that), a default on a particular series may be waived with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the debt securities of the series. However, without the consent of each debt security holder affected, no amendment or waiver may:

• reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

• reduce the rate of or change or have the effect of changing the time for payment of interest, including defaulted interest, on any debt securities;

• reduce the principal of or change or have the effect of changing the fixed maturity of any debt securities, or change the date on which any debt securities may be subject to redemption or reduce the redemption price therefor;

• make any debt securities payable in money other than that stated in the debt securities;

• make any change in provisions of the Indenture protecting the right of each holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on the debt securities on or after the due date thereof or to bring suit to enforce such payment, or permitting holders of a majority in principal amount of debt securities to waive defaults or events of default; or

• make any change that materially adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any debt security.

     Without the consent of any debt security holder, we and the trustee may amend the Indenture, the debt securities or any coupons to:

-10-

• cure any ambiguity, defect, or inconsistency;

• provide for uncertificated debt securities in addition to or in place of certificated debt securities;

• comply with the Indenture’s provisions relating to corporate successors or rules relating to the conduct of meetings;

• make any change that would provide any additional rights or interests under the holders of debt securities or that does not materially adversely affect the rights or interests under the Indenture of any such holder;

• create a series and establish its terms;

• comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

• provide that specific provisions of the Indenture shall not apply to a series not previously issued; or

• provide for a separate trustee for one or more series.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

     Debt securities of a series may be defeased in accordance with their terms and, unless the Securities Resolution establishing the terms of the series otherwise provides, as set forth in the Indenture and described briefly below. We, at any time, may terminate as to a series all of our obligations (except certain obligations, including obligations with respect to the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of a Security, to replace destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities and coupons, and to maintain paying agencies in respect of the debt securities) with respect to the debt securities of the series and any related coupons and the Indenture (“legal defeasance”). We, at any time, may terminate as to a series our obligations, if any, with respect to the debt securities and coupons of the series under any restrictive covenants which may be applicable to a particular series (“covenant defeasance”).

     We may exercise our legal defeasance option notwithstanding our prior exercise of our covenant defeasance option. If we exercise our legal defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated because of an event of default. If we exercise our covenant defeasance option, a series may not be accelerated by reference to any restrictive covenants which may be applicable to the particular series.

     To exercise either defeasance option as to a series, we must:

• irrevocably deposit in trust (the “defeasance trust”) with the trustee or another trustee money or U.S. government obligations;

• deliver a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal and interest when due on the deposited U.S. government obligations, without reinvestment, plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal and interest when due on all debt securities of the series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be; and

• comply with other specified conditions; in particular, we must obtain an opinion of tax counsel that the defeasance will not result in recognition of any gain or loss to holders for federal income tax purposes.

     The term “government obligations” means direct obligations of, or obligations guaranteed by, the United States and for payment of which the United States pledges its full faith and credit.

Guarantees

     A series of debt securities may be guaranteed by some of our subsidiary corporations, if those guarantees are provided for in the Securities Resolution or the supplemental indenture relating to that series of debt securities. If guarantees are issued in connection with any debt securities, the terms of those guarantees and the names of our subsidiaries which are providing the guarantees will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

-11-

Regarding the Trustee

     The prospectus supplement relating to any debt securities will identify the trustee and registrar for those debt securities. Unless otherwise indicated in a prospectus supplement, the trustee will also act as transfer agent and paying agent with respect to the debt securities. We may remove the trustee with or without cause if we so notify the trustee three months in advance and if we are not in default during the three-month period. The trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for us or our affiliates, and may otherwise deal with us or our affiliates, as if it were not trustee.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

General

     Under Brady’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, the authorized capital stock of Brady consists of 100 million shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock, $.01 par value; 10 million shares of Class B Voting Common Stock, $.01 par value; 45,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, $100 par value; and 5 million shares of Preferred Stock, $.01 par value, issuable in series. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is divided into series as follows: 5,000 shares of 6.0% Cumulative Preferred Stock (entitled to a $6.00 per annum cumulative dividend, payable quarterly), 10,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, 1972 Series (also entitled to cumulative dividends at $6.00 per annum, payable quarterly) and 30,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, 1979 Series (entitled to cumulative dividends of $10.00 per annum, payable quarterly). No shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or Preferred Stock are issued and outstanding at this time. As of August 25, 2005, there were 45,842,886 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock issued and outstanding and 3,538,628 shares of Class B Nonvoting Common Stock issued and outstanding. No Brady shareholder has cumulative voting rights or preemptive or other rights to subscribe for additional Brady shares. All of the outstanding shares are fully paid and non-assessable, except for certain statutory liability that may be imposed by Section 180.0622 (2) (b) of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (“WBCL”) for certain unpaid wage claims of employees.

Common Stock

     The following is a brief description of Brady’s Common Stock. The rights of holders of the Common Stock are subject to the rights of holders of Brady’s Cumulative Preferred Stock and Preferred Stock.

     Holders of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock are not entitled to vote on any corporate matters, except as may be required by law, unless, in each of the three preceding fiscal years, the $0.01665 preferential dividend described below has not been paid in full. Holders of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and for all other purposes for the entire fiscal year immediately following the third consecutive fiscal year in which the preferential dividend is not paid in full. Holders of Class B Voting Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share for the election of directors and for all other purposes.

     Before any dividend may be paid on the Class B Voting Common Stock, holders of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to receive an annual, non-cumulative cash dividend of $0.01665 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or similar events involving shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock). Thereafter, any further dividend in that fiscal year must be paid on all shares of Common Stock on an equal basis.

     Subject to the prior rights of any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and/or Preferred Stock, upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of Brady, holders of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock are entitled to receive the sum of $0.8333 per share (subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends or similar events involving shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock) before any payment or distribution to holders of the Class B Voting Common Stock. Holders of the Class B Voting Common Stock are then entitled to receive a payment or distribution of $0.8333 per share (subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions involving shares of the Class B Voting Common Stock). Thereafter, holders of the Common Stock share on a pro rata basis all payments or distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Brady. The preferences in dividends and liquidation rights of the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock over the Class B Voting Common Stock will terminate at any time that the voting rights of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and Class B

-12-

Voting Common Stock become equal, other than as required by law or upon nonpayment of dividends as described above.

     The transfer agent for the Class A Nonvoting Common Stock is Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., St. Paul, Minnesota.

Cumulative Preferred Stock

     The following is a brief description of Brady’s Cumulative Preferred Stock. Our Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue from time to time, without shareholder approval, the shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock. No Cumulative Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding at this time.

     No dividends may be paid and no distributions may be made on the Common Stock (except dividends payable in Common Stock) and no shares of Common Stock may be purchased or acquired for value by Brady (except shares acquired in exchange for, or through application of the proceeds or sale of, shares of Common Stock), unless (a) all accrued dividends on all classes of the Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid and (b) the net assets of Brady which would remain after the dividend, distribution or acquisition relating to the Common Stock would be at least twice the amount payable to holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock in the event of voluntary liquidation, or unless authorized by the affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock.

     In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding up of our affairs and after payment of all our debts, the Cumulative Preferred Stock must be redeemed at par value plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any, before any payment may be made on account of the Common Stock, and, in the case of a voluntary dissolution, a premium of $6.00 per share must also be paid on each share of Cumulative Preferred Stock before any payment may be made on account of the Common Stock. The Cumulative Preferred Stock is subject to redemption at our option on any quarterly dividend paying date at par plus all accrued and unpaid dividends plus a premium of $6.00 per share.

     The Cumulative Preferred Stock has no voting power except as otherwise provided by law, unless four quarterly dividends are unpaid in whole or in part. Whenever four quarterly dividend payments, whether consecutive or not, are unpaid in whole or in part, the holders of all series of Cumulative Preferred Stock, voting separately as one class, are entitled to elect and maintain in office such number of the directors as constitutes a maximum minority of the entire board of directors of Brady (i.e., one less than half of the then current number of directors) until all accrued and unpaid dividends have been paid. The affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, voting as a class, is also required to make certain amendments to the Articles of Incorporation affecting the rights of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and to allow any merger or consolidation of Brady, and any sale, lease, exchange or other disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

Preferred Stock

     Our Restated Articles of Incorporation authorize our Board of Directors to issue from time to time Preferred Stock in series and to fix the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of any series with respect to the rate of dividend, price and terms of redemption, the amounts payable in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, any sinking fund provisions for redemption or repurchase, the terms and conditions of conversion into any other class or series of our stock and voting rights, if any. No series of Preferred Stock is issued and outstanding at this time.

     Our Board of Directors, without shareholder approval, could issue Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights which could adversely affect the voting power and liquidation rights of the holders of Common Stock.

Additional Terms and Certain Statutory Provisions

     The provisions of our Restated Articles of Incorporation and our By-Laws may delay or make more difficult acquisitions or changes of control of Brady not approved by our Board of Directors. Such provisions could

-13-

have the effect of discouraging third parties from making proposals involving an acquisition or change of control of us, although such proposals, if made, might be considered desirable by a majority of our shareholders. Such provisions may also have the effect of making it more difficult for third parties to cause the replacement of our current management without the concurrence of the Board of Directors.

     Voting control of Brady is vested in the holders of Class B Voting Common Stock. As a result, the holders of the Class B Voting Common Stock will be able to elect or remove all of our Board of Directors and, except as otherwise required by applicable law or the Restated Articles of Incorporation, will be able to determine the outcome of all matters submitted for shareholder consideration. Such control may have the effect of discouraging certain types of transactions involving an actual or potential change of control of Brady, including transactions in which the holders of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices.

     Because Brady’s Class B Voting Common Stock, the only class of Brady’s capital stock generally entitled to vote on the election of directors, is not registered or traded on a national securities exchange or registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Brady has not elected in its Restated Articles of Incorporation to adopt the various anti-takeover provisions of the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law, such anti-takeover provisions do not currently apply to Brady.

BOOK-ENTRY

     The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) may act as securities depository for the securities, in which case the applicable prospectus supplement will so provide. The securities will be issued only as fully registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s partnership nominee. One or more fully registered global certificates will be issued for the securities representing the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities or the number of shares of common stock offered by the applicable prospectus supplement and will be deposited with DTC.

     DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the 1934 Act, as amended. DTC holds securities that its participants (the “Direct Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among Direct Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Direct Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (the “Indirect Participants,” and together with the Direct Participants, the “Participants”). The rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Commission.

     Purchases of the securities within the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants which will receive a credit for the securities on DTC’s records. The ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each security (a “beneficial owner”) will in turn be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants’ respective records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase, but beneficial owners are expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct or Indirect Participant through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interest in the securities will be effected by entries made on the books of Participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners will not receive certificates representing their ownership interest in debt securities except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued.

     The deposit of the securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. effect no change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such securities are credited, which may or may

-14-

not be the beneficial owners. The Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

     Conveyance of notices and other direct communications by DTC to Direct Participants, by Direct Participants to Indirect Participants, and by Direct Participants and Indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

     Redemption notices shall be sent to Cede & Co. If less than all of the securities of an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice will determine by lot the amount of the interest of each Direct Participant in such series to be redeemed.

     Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to the securities. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy (an “omnibus proxy”) to the Participants as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.’s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the securities are credited on the record date, identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy.

     Principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and dividends on common stock, if applicable, will be paid to DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit Direct Participants’ accounts on the relevant payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records unless DTC has reason to believe that it will not receive payment on such payment date. Payments by Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street-name,” and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC, the underwriters, or Brady, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities and dividends on common stock, if applicable, to DTC is the responsibility of the Company or the Trustee. Disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants is the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners is the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.

     DTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the securities at any time by giving us reasonable notice. Under such circumstances and in the event that a successor securities depository is not obtained, certificates for the securities are required to be printed and delivered. In addition, we may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC, or any successor securities depository. In that event, certificates for the securities will be printed and delivered.

     We will not have any responsibility or obligation to Participants or to the persons for whom they act as nominees with respect to the accuracy of the records of DTC, its nominees or any Direct or Indirect Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the securities, or with respect to payments or providing of notice to the Direct Participants, the Indirect Participants or the beneficial owners.

     So long as Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the securities, as nominee of DTC, references herein to holders of the securities shall mean Cede & Co. or DTC and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the securities.

     The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be accurate. We have no responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants of their respective obligations as described in this prospectus or under the rules and procedures governing their respective operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

     We may sell the securities offered under this prospectus to or through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters, through one or more underwriters without a syndicate for them to offer and sell to the public, agents or dealers or to investors directly in negotiated sales or in competitively bid transactions. Any offering of common stock may also include sales by selling shareholders, who will be identified in any applicable supplement.

Underwriters

     The relevant prospectus supplement will identify any agents or underwriters and describe their compensation, including underwriting discount. The prospectus supplement will also describe other terms of the offering, including any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers and any securities exchanges or automated quotation systems on which any offered debt securities may be listed.

     The distribution of securities under this prospectus may occur from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices, which may be changed, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to those prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.

Agents and Direct Sales

     If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, we will authorize dealers or our agents to solicit offers by various institutions to purchase offered securities from us pursuant to contracts that provide for payment and delivery on a future date. We must approve all institutions, but they may include, among others:

• commercial and savings banks;

• insurance companies;

• pension funds;

• investment companies; and

• educational and charitable institutions.

     The institutional purchaser’s obligations will be subject only to the condition that the purchase of the securities is permitted at the time of delivery. The dealers and our agents will not be responsible for the validity or performance of the contract.

General Information

     Underwriters, dealers and agents participating in a sale of securities may be deemed to be underwriters as defined in the Securities Act, and any discounts and commissions received by them and any profit realized by them on resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We may have agreements with the agents, underwriters and dealers to indemnify them against various civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments that the agents, underwriters or dealers may be required to make as a result of those civil liabilities.

     Our Class A Nonvoting Common Stock is quoted on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “BRC.” However, unless we indicate differently in a prospectus supplement, we will not list the debt securities on any securities exchange or seek to have them included on the New York Stock Exchange or any other automated quotation system. If we sell a security offered under this prospectus to an underwriter for public offering and sale, the underwriter may make a market for that security, but is not obligated to do so. Therefore, we cannot give any assurances to you concerning the liquidity of any security offered under this prospectus.

     Agents and underwriters and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for us or our subsidiary companies in the ordinary course of business.

-16-

LEGAL MATTERS

     The validity of the securities to be sold pursuant to this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Quarles & Brady LLP, Milwaukee, Wisconsin counsel to the Company. The Company’s Secretary, Conrad G. Goodkind, is a Partner of Quarles & Brady LLP. As of July 31, 2005, Mr. Goodkind beneficially owned approximately 41,800 shares of Class A Nonvoting Common Stock. Legal matters will be passed upon for the underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel we will name in the applicable prospectus supplement.

EXPERTS

     The financial statements and the related financial statement schedules, incorporated in this prospectus by reference from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference, and have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     The Registrant is incorporated under the Wisconsin Business Corporation Law (“WBCL”). Under Section 180.0851(1) of the WBCL, the Registrant is required to indemnify a director or officer, to the extent such person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a proceeding, for all reasonable expenses incurred in the proceeding if such person was a party because he or she was a director or officer of the Registrant. In all other cases, the Registrant is required by Section 180.0851(2) of the WBCL to indemnify a director or officer against liability incurred in a proceeding to which such person was a party because he or she was an officer or director of the Registrant, unless it is determined that he or she breached or failed to perform a duty owed to the Registrant and the breach or failure to perform constitutes: (i) a willful failure to deal fairly with the Registrant or its shareholders in connection with a matter in which the director or officer has a material conflict of interest; (ii) a violation of criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful; (iii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal profit; or (iv) willful misconduct. Section 180.0858(1) of the WBCL provides that, subject to certain limitations, the mandatory indemnification provisions do not preclude any additional right to indemnification or allowance of expenses that a director or officer may have under the Registrant’s articles of incorporation, bylaws, a written agreement or a resolution of the board of directors or shareholders.

     Section 180.0859 of the WBCL provides that it is the public policy of the State of Wisconsin to require or permit indemnification, allowance of expenses and insurance to the extent required or permitted under Sections 180.0850 to 180.0858 of the WBCL for any liability incurred in connection with a proceeding involving a federal or state statute, rule or regulation regulating the offer, sale or purchase of securities.

     Section 180.0828 of the WBCL provides that, with certain exceptions, a director is not liable to a corporation, its shareholders, or any person asserting rights on behalf of the corporation or its shareholders, for damages, settlements, fees, fines, penalties or other monetary liabilities arising from a breach of, or failure to perform, any duty resulting solely from his or her status as a director, unless the person asserting liability proves that

II-1

the breach or failure to perform constitutes any of the four exceptions to mandatory indemnification under Section 180.0851(2) referred to above.

     Under Section 180.0833 of the WBCL, directors of the Registrant against whom claims are asserted with respect to the declaration of an improper dividend or other distribution to shareholders to which the directors assented are entitled to contribution from other directors who assented to such distribution and from shareholders who knowingly accepted the improper distribution, as provided therein.

     The Registrant’s Bylaws contain provisions that generally parallel the indemnification provisions of the WBCL and cover certain procedural matters not dealt with in the WBCL. Directors and officers of the Registrant are also covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance under which they are insured (subject to certain exceptions and limitations specified in the policy) against expenses and liabilities arising out of proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or having been directors or officers.

Item 16. Exhibits.

     See the Exhibit Index following the Signatures page in this Registration Statement, which Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 17. Undertakings.

     (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)	to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)	to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)	to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

           Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

          (2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

II-2

          (3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

     (b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (h) Reference is made to the indemnification provisions described in Item 15 of this Registration Statement.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (i) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:

          (1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.

          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

     (j) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under subsection(a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act (“Act”) in accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section 305(b)(2) of the Act.
