    FOREST CITY, Iowa, July 10 -- The common stock of Winnebago
Industries, Inc. hit an 11 year high yesterday, July 9, 1998,
closing at 14.125. Yesterday's stock activity was precipitated by the
Company's common stock receiving a buy rating by Robert Olstein, Olstein
Financial Alert Fund, during yesterday's CNBC "The Squawk Box" television
show. The Company's stock rose .937 with volume of 228,100 shares traded, the
highest stock price since April of 1987.
    Mr. Olstein cited the baby boom population increase in Winnebago

expected this year, the $25 million of excess cash flow and increased future
earnings projections.
