  34  Since many of the nation's largest production companies which are its customers,

  35  Lebrun is adversely affected by any change for the worse in the economy. Yet Lebrun

  36  has managed to keep on sales steady (in the region of approximately $2.5 billion)

  37  and has recorded only one annual loss during the difficulties of the past five

  38  years, but despite the effects of the ongoing industrial slowdown. James Griffith,

  39  president of Lebrun, now has the task of turning up survival into growth, and
