Percentage change from prior year      (9.4)%               1.6%               1.1%
</TABLE>

Retail furniture sales, which showed some signs of recovery in the latter part
of last year's fourth quarter, slipped in December and January, with February
showing some improvement.  The overall slowdown in retail furniture sales in
the first quarter was caused, in part, by declining consumer confidence.  The
January consumer confidence index sank to its lowest level in two years.  This
decline in retail furniture sales caused net sales for the quarter to fall
$11,600,000 compared to 1995.  Shipments decreased in 1996 in all Divisions
except Bedding which had a small increase.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

Cost of sales increased  82 basis points in the 1996 first quarter over 1995.
This increase follows an increase of approximately 90 basis points in the full
fiscal year 1995 over 1994.  This decline in margins has been caused primarily
by the inability to increase sales prices across all product lines to
compensate for incurred raw material cost increases.  This is shown by a
comparison of the cost components comprising cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales:

</TABLE>

The deterioration in the overhead percentage was mainly due to reduced
production schedules which had to be reduced during the quarter to adjust to
the declining backlog.  However, total overhead costs declined by almost
$1,000,000 in 1996 from 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 87 basis points in the
1996 first quarter over 1995.  The fixed costs in this classification were held
under control in 1996 compared to 1995 and did not increase;  however, the
percentage relationship to net sales increased because of the decline in net
sales.

INCOME TAXES

The effective income tax rate has declined in 1996 because of the decline in
operating income and the increase in not-fully-taxed other income:

The increase in 1996 was caused by  the decline in net current assets,
exclusive of cash and cash equivalents.

The Company continued its program of purchase and retirement of its Common
Stock in the first quarter of 1996 acquiring 78,700 shares at an average cost
of $23.15 for a total expenditure of $1,822,000.  In fiscal years 1995 and
1994, 429,701 shares and 361,386 shares were acquired for a total cost of
$10,125,000 and $9,546,000, respectively.

The current ratio was 6.74 to 1 at February 29, 1996 and 5.79 to 1 at November
30, 1995.  Working capital increased to $176 million at February 29, 1996, up
from $170 million at November 30, 1995.

Cash provided by operating activities is expected to be adequate for normal
future operating requirements.

There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at February 29,
1996.  Capital expenditures that will be made in the future for normal
expansion or other operating purposes will be made from funds on hand or those
generated from operations.
