                   Schedule 13D Amendment No. 6
                       Marietta Corporation

          This Amendment No. 6 to the statement on Schedule 13D (as defined
below) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D dated September
26, 1994, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto dated November 2, 1994,
Amendment No. 2 thereto dated January 20, 1995, Amendment No. 3 thereto dated
March 7, 1995, as amended and restated by Amendment No. 4 thereto dated May
28, 1995, as amended by Amendment No. 5 thereto dated June 16, 1995 (together,
the "Schedule 13D") by Barry W. Florescue, 286 Bridge Street, Inc. ("286
Bridge Street") and Florescue Family Corporation ("FFC", and collectively with
Mr. Florescue and 286 Bridge Street, the "Reporting Persons"), relating to the
common stock, $.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Marietta
Corporation (the "Issuer").

Item 4:   Purpose of the Transaction

               Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as
follows:

     FFC's prior proposal expired on June 23, 1995 in accordance with its
terms.  However, subsequent to the submission of FFC's proposal, FFC continued
to perform due diligence with respect to the Issuer.  Among other things, FFC
analyzed extensively the Issuer's deteriorating margins.  As a result of the
deteriorating margins, the performance of the Issuer has continued to suffer
as is evidence by the Issuer's press release of August 3, 1995 showing a third
quarter loss of $457,124, or $.13 per share.

     On August 3, 1995 representatives of the Issuer and FFC met to discuss
the concerns raised by FFC's analysis of the performance of the Issuer to date
and its future prospects.  As a result of these meetings and further
conversations, FFC and the Company continue to discuss a potential acquisition
transaction.  In connection with these discussions, all aspects of FFC's prior
proposal, including price are being discussed.

Item 6:

          Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

          Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

          FFC and the Company have agreed that FFC will be permitted to
designate two nominees to the Board of Directors of the Company in connection
with the annual meeting of shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on
August 31, 1995.  In that regard, the Company has agreed to expand the Board
of Directors from seven members to nine members.  FFC currently expects to
designate Barry Florescue and Charles Miersch as its nominees.  FFC has also
agreed to vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of the nominees
designated by the Company at the Annual Meeting.  Except as provided in Item 4
and the preceding sentence, there are no contracts, arrangements,
understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting
Persons and between the Reporting Persons and any person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to transfer or voting of
any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option
arrangements, put or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits or
loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
