FWIW ... Some Guy Likes HMN ... Dow Jones Newswires -- June 4, 1999 DJ Investment Chief: Despite Net, Pencil Will Survive NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Despite the Internet's proliferation, there's one tool the technology won't be able to edge out - the venerable pencil, according to Jeffrey Bronchick, chief investment officer at Reed, Conner & Birdwell. Appearing on CNBC Friday, Bronchick emphasized the values among small companies' stock including Hunt Corp. (HUN), a company which boasts an 80% market share in pencil sharpeners. "The one thing the Internet won't put away is a pencil," Bronchick said. His other small-cap picks were Horace Mann Educators Corp. (HMN) and Ucar International Inc. (UCR). -Heesun Wee; 201-938-5392
