                    LETTER TO TAB PRODUCTS STOCKHOLDERS




                          THADDEUS J. JAROSZEWICZ
                       c/o Hamilton Sorter Co., Inc.

October 5, 2001


Dear Tab Stockholder:

The October 16 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is now only days away, and
this could be your last opportunity to cast your vote in support of a sale
of Tab at a premium purchase price. As you know, my nominees are committed
to selling Tab at a price of $5 per share in cash to our affiliate - or to
any other purchaser willing to pay more. We commit to you that if our $5
per share cash offer is not the best value obtainable for your shares, Tab
will be sold to a higher bidder.

               ISS RECOMMENDS VOTING FOR MY SLATE OF NOMINEES

Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), America's leading independent
proxy voting advisory firm, has recommended to its clients that they vote
"FOR" my slate of six nominees. ISS, which makes voting recommendations to
hundreds of professional money managers and institutions, has urged
stockholders to vote "FOR" my nominees on my BLUE proxy card and to discard
Tab's white proxy card.

In its carefully researched written report dated October 4, 2001, ISS
stated:

         "...we [ISS] believe that the [Jaroszewicz] slate of director
         nominees should be supported."

         "From a financial perspective, there is no dispute that Tab's
         long-term performance has been dismal."

         "...adequate time has passed for Tab's board to guide management
         in the right direction to improve shareholder value."

         "Overall, we believe the [Jaroszewicz group] has a stronger case.
         At the revised price of $5 per share, the [Jaroszewicz group]
         offer represents a substantial premium to the market value of
         Tab's shares."

         "The revised offer price[of $5 per Tab share] represents a
         111-percent premium to Tab's market price the day before the first
         offer[by the Jaroszewicz group]..."

We welcome this independent recommendation which confirms what we have been
saying all along - that the current Tab Board has been unable or unwilling
to make the hard decisions needed in order to make Tab profitable, and that
the best choice for stockholders is to vote "FOR" my slate of nominees
committed to obtaining a premium purchase price for all stockholders.

                           IT'S TIME FOR A CHANGE

At least three of the Company's directors have served on the board since
1996. The Company's Chairman has been a member of Tab's Board since 1992.
During their tenure, these board members have overseen five different CEOs.

Tab's per share stock price has plunged from $13.81 in early May 1998 to
only $2.38 on January 26, 2001, the day before we made our initial cash
merger proposal. This represents a decline in market value of 82.8% in a
period of only 33 months.

In the words of the ISS report:

         "ISS believes that these directors have failed in the past to put
         pressure on management to improve the company's financial
         performance and to act on behalf of the shareholders." (emphasis
         added)

                     PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT - ACT NOW!

By acting now, you can determine the future value of your investment in
Tab. The choice, as we see it, is clear. You can elect a new Board of
Directors that has pledged to sell Tab for the greatest available value, so
that you can receive a premium purchase price for your shares. The
alternative, unfortunately, is to continue with the current Board which
believes that the best course of action for the Company is to pursue a plan
that aims to create no profits during this fiscal year.

If my nominees are not elected, we will consider withdrawing our merger
proposal. Without our $5 per share merger proposal, we would not be at all
surprised if the value of Tab shares retreats to the values of early this
year, before we made our first proposal to acquire Tab.

Time is short and you need to act now. Please sign and date your BLUE proxy
card today, and return it in the enclosed postage paid envelope. If you
have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please call
the firm assisting me in the solicitation of proxies, Morrow & Co., Inc.,
toll free at (800) 607-0088.

I thank you for your careful attention.

Sincerely,

/s/ THADDEUS S. JAROSZEWICZ

Thaddeus S. Jaroszewicz


              Sign, date and return the BLUE proxy card today.

1.    Regardless of how many shares you own, your vote is very important.

3.    Even if you have sent a White proxy card to Tab, you have every
      right to change your vote. You may revoke that proxy by signing,
      dating and mailing the enclosed BLUE proxy card in the enclosed
      envelope. Only your latest dated proxy counts.

4.    If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other
      nominee, please direct the party responsible for your account to
      vote the BLUE proxy card.

     If you have any questions on how to vote your shares, please call
                           our proxy solicitor:
