INVACARE &lt;IVCR> EXPECTS HIGHER 1987 SALES

  Invacare Corp chairman, president
  and chief executive officer A. Malachi Mixon III said he
  expects the home healthcare equipment company to post sales
  increases in the 10 to 15 pct range in 1987.
      Mixon said the increases should come from internal growth
  as well as potential acquisitions.
      "Invacare is aggressively seeking acquisitions to
  complement the company's existing product lines," Mixon said.
      Earlier, the company reported fourth quarter 1986 net of
  1.5 mln dlrs, or 26 cts a share, up from 1.1 mln dlrs, or 19
  cts a share, in 1985's fourth quarter.
      Invacare also reported 1986 net income of 3.4 mln dlrs, or
  60 cts a share, up from a loss of 1.1 mln dlrs, or 19 cts a
  share, in 1985.
