"No man is a hero to his valet," remarked Mme. Cornuel, the 17th-century Parisian hostess.

About 150 jobs would be eliminated, the company said. Stanley Home Products sells household cleaning products like brooms and mops. Stanhome's shares were down $1 at $29.75. CPAC, based in Leicester, N.Y., makes specialty chemicals for the imaging business and recently moved into direct sales to consumers with its purchase of the Fuller Brush Company.

FORD OFFERS $500 LEASE INCENTIVE FOR ITS WINDSTAR
Date: 19 January 1995
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
In a bid to spur sales of its new Windstar mini-van, the Ford Motor Company is offering a $500 discount until April 3 to consumers who lease the vehicles. This is the first time that Ford is offering a national consumer incentive program on the Windstar, which was introduced last March. There have been some regional incentive programs. Ford was forced last month to close its Windstar plant in Oakville, Ontario. The company said that it had run out of some key parts. Ford also used the break to reduce unsold supplies of the mini-vans. As of Dec. 31, Ford had a 94-day supply of Windstars on hand, up from 89 days at the end of November, a company spokeswoman said. A supply equal to about 65 days is considered normal this time of year.

UNION PACIFIC TRIES TO FORCE SANTA FE TO CONSIDER ITS BID

By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The Union Pacific Corporation asked a Delaware court yesterday to force the Santa Fe Pacific Corporation to consider its $3.6 billion hostile bid equally with Burlington Northern Inc.'s friendly offer. Union Pacific, based in Bethlehem, Pa., asked the Delaware Chancery Court to strike down Santa Fe's "poison pill." Poison pills are intended to dilute the stake of an unwanted suitor and make a takeover prohibitively expensive. Union Pacific also asked the court to invalidate a $50 million breakup fee and $10 million reimbursement provision Santa Fe must pay if Burlington Northern is outbid. A Santa Fe spokeswoman said the suit was "without merit." The move by Union Pacific comes a day after it raised its bid for Santa Fe to $18.50 a share in cash.
