NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 30, 1996

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited condensed financial  statements  have
     been  prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted  accounting
     principles  for  interim  financial  information  and   with   the
     instructions  to  Form  10-Q and Article  10  of  Regulation  S-X.
     Accordingly,  they  do  not include all  of  the  information  and
     footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
     complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all
     adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring accruals)  considered
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

     The  Company's  business  is seasonal in  nature  and  subject  to
     general  economic conditions and outside factors and, accordingly,
     its  operating results for the three months and six  months  ended
     June  30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results  that
     may be expected for the entire year ending Dec. 31, 1996.

     For  further  information, refer to the financial  statements  and
     footnotes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
     the year ended Dec. 31, 1995.

NOTE B - EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Company calculates earnings per share based on the average
     number of shares  outstanding for the period.  Common stock
     equivalents had no material dilutive    effect for the periods
     presented.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION
          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

     Results Of Operations
     
     Net  income  for the second quarter of 1996 was $3.1  million  (44
     cents per share), versus $2.9 million (40 cents per share) for the
     same  period of 1995.  The improvement in second-quarter  earnings
     resulted  from higher gross margins which more than  offset  a  3-
     percent  decline in sales.  For the first six months of 1996,  net
     income  was $1.5 million (22 cents per share), compared with  $2.1
     million (30 cents per share) for the same period of 1995.
     
     Sales totaled $119.2 million in the second quarter of 1996,  a  3-
     percent  decline from second-quarter 1995.  The sales  decline  in
     the second quarter resulted from a 17-percent decrease in consumer
     (DIY)  sales  which more than offset a 14-percent  improvement  in
     contractor  (builder  and remodeler) sales.  Sales  at  comparable
     stores  (stores in operation prior to April 1, 1995) were  down  5
     percent  from the same period of 1995, and resulted  from  an  18-
     percent  decline  in consumer sales and a 10-percent  increase  in
     contractor sales.  For the first six months of 1996, sales were
     $192.6 million compared with $198.5 million in the same period  of
     1995,  a  decrease  of 3 percent.  Contractor sales  increased  10
     percent  and consumer sales decreased 16 percent for the six-month
     period.  Comparable store sales for the 1996 six-month period were
     down 4 percent.
                                   
     The  sales  mix  for  the second quarter of  1996  was  46-percent
     consumer  sales and 54-percent contractor sales compared with  54-
     percent  consumer sales and 46-percent contractor  sales  for  the
     second quarter of 1995.  The 1996 sales mix for the six months was
     43  percent consumer sales and 57 percent contractor sales, versus
     a 50/50 mix in 1995.
     
     Gross  margins  increased 120 basis points to 25  percent  in  the
     second quarter of 1996, compared with the second quarter of  1995.
     The improvement in margins was the result of improvements in core-
     product  categories  (lumber,  building  materials,  cabinets  and
     millwork).  Total margin dollars were $.5 million higher  compared
     with 1995's second quarter.
     
     Total  expenses in the second quarter of 1996 were equal to 1995's
     second quarter despite approximately $400,000 of expenses incurred
     related to upgrading information technology
     
     The effective tax rate (federal and state) for second quarter 1996
     was 40 percent, the same as second quarter 1995.
     
     Financial Condition
     
     At June 30, 1996, the Company's balance sheet remains strong.  Net
     working  capital at June 30, 1996, totaled $59.2 million, compared
     with $61.4 million at June 30, 1995, and $60.6 million at December
     31,  1995.   The  current ratio at June 30, 1996, was  2.4  to  1,
     compared with 2.5 to 1 at June 30, 1995, and 2.9 to 1 at Dec.  31,
     1995.
     
     Cash  and  cash equivalents were $11.4 million at June  30,  1996,
     compared  to $15.9 million at June 30, 1995, and $13.9 million  at
     Dec.  31, 1995.  The liquidity ratio at June 30, 1996, was .27  to
     1, compared to .39 to 1 at June 30, 1995, and .44 to 1 at Dec. 31,
     1995.  Cash and cash equivalents increased $3.9 million during the
     1996  second  quarter  with  operating activities  producing  $5.6
     million of cash. The major uses of cash in the 1996 second quarter
     were  for  net property additions, $2.7 million, and reduction  of
     long-term debt of $1.5 million.  Short-term borrowings totaled  $8
     million  at  June 30, 1996, compared with $5 million at  June  30,
     1995.
     
     The  Company  expects that net cash from operating activities  and
     available  lines  of  credit should be  adequate  to  meet  future
     working  capital  needs and capital expenditures  for  1996.   The
     Company  acquired two stores during the 1996 second quarter.   The
     Company   continues  to  seek  opportunities  for  growth  through
     acquisitions of additional stores.
     
     Invested  capital  (long-term debt and  shareowner's  equity)  was
     equal to 75% of total assets at June 30, 1996, compared to 76%  at
     June  30,  1995, and 81% at year end 1995. The total debt-to-asset
     ratio  was lowered to .14:1 at June 30, 1996, from .16:1 at  year-
     end  1995.  The ratio of equity to total assets was .61  to  1  at
     June 30, 1996, compared to .64 to 1 at year end 1995.  The Company
     purchased  30,000  shares of its common stock  during  the  second
     quarter of 1996.
                                   
     Outlook

     The  Company is excited about the outlook for the second  half  of
     1996.   July  1996 sales exceeded July 1995 sales by  13  percent.
     The Company intends to sell to contractors a more complete package
     of  home  construction products which will improve both sales  and
     gross  margins.   The Company is working aggressively  to  improve
     consumer  sales by executing strategies to improve sales of  major
     projects  including  kitchen and bath, decks, sheds,  pole  barns,
     garages,  and major remodeling projects.  The Company is  strongly
     focused  on  the  priorities of market-share  improvement,  people
     development and improved profitability.
