This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D amends Items 4 and 7 of the Schedule 13D filed on February 8, 2001, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on February 15, 2001, Amendment No. 2 filed on March 12, 2001, Amendment No. 3 filed on March 19, 2001, Amendment No. 4 filed on April 4, 2001, and Amendment No. 5 filed on April 19, 2001 by Phillip Ean Cohen ("Mr. Cohen"), Hamilton Sorter Co., Inc., an Ohio corporation ("Hamilton Sorter"), HS Morgan Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("HSMLP"), Thaddeus S. Jaroszewicz ("Mr. Jaroszewicz") and HS Morgan Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("HS Morgan") (collectively, the "Filers"). This filing relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock") of Tab Products Co., a Delaware corporation (the "Corporation").

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Mr. Jaroszewicz has taken certain steps in furtherance of his previously reported intention to solicit proxies in support of the election of his five nominees to the Board of Directors of the Corporation. As previously reported, Mr. Jaroszewicz's nominees are David Pease, III, Mark J. Dessy, John W. Boustead, Watkins C. Johnston and Mr. Jaroszewicz (collectively, the "Nominees"). The Nominees, if elected, will constitute the entire Board of Directors of the Corporation. In this connection, Mr. Jaroszewicz and certain of the other Filers have retained Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist Mr. Jaroszewicz in the solicitation of proxies, and have retained the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP as special counsel.

Mr. Jaroszewicz believes that the Nominees, if elected, and subject to their fiduciary duties under Delaware law to all stockholders of the Corporation, will cause the Corporation to enter into good faith negotiations with HS Morgan with respect to the acquisition proposal set forth in a letter dated March 19, 2001 from HS Morgan to the Corporation, filed as an Exhibit to Amendment No. 3 to this Schedule 13D. In such letter, subject to the conditions stated therein, HS Morgan proposed that a subsidiary of HSMLP acquire the Corporation in a cash merger at a price of $5 per share. In the event that the Corporation is acquired in a merger or similar business combination transaction, the Corporation’s shares would be de-listed from the American Stock Exchange and would be de-registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In furtherance of his intention to solicit proxies from the Corporation’s stockholders, Mr. Jaroszewicz, by letter dated June 18, 2001, requested from the Corporation a list of all stockholders and certain related materials as of the most recent date practicable, but not earlier than June 20, 2001, and as of the close of business on any record date that may be set by the Corporation for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Corporation’s 2001 Annual Meeting.

Item 7. Material to be filed as Exhibits.

1. Letter from Mr. Jaroszewicz to Tab Products Co. dated June 18, 2001, requesting stockholder list and certain related materials.
