Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Sales in the third quarter of the 1995 fiscal year increased $430,000 (1.7%)
over sales in the same quarter last year to $26,001,000.  Compared to the 
prior fiscal quarter, sales decreased by $635,000 (2.4%).  The changes in 
comparative sales relate primarily to differences in unit sales volume.  
The decrease in sales from the prior fiscal quarter reflects normal seasonal 
activity and changes in product mix.  Sales for the first thirty-nine weeks 
of the 1995 fiscal year increased $625,000 (.8%) to $81,141,000 compared to 
the same period last year. The increase in sales relates primarily to higher
unit sales volume.  Price increases on selected products effective late in 
the quarter did not materially impact sales for the reported periods of the 
1995 fiscal year.

Cost of products sold in the third quarter of 1995 increased $355,000 (2.2%) 
to $16,835,000 compared to the third quarter of the 1994 fiscal year.  When 
compared to the prior fiscal quarter, cost of products sold decreased 
$282,000 (1.7%). Cost of products sold in the first three quarters of the 
1995 fiscal year increased $64,000 (.1%) to $52,354,000 compared to the same 
period of 1994.  The increase in cost of products sold for the respective 
periods relate primarily to increased unit sales volume and to changes in 
product mix.  
                                                                               
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $6,166,000 in the third 
quarter of the 1995 fiscal year, which represents a decrease of 
$90,000 (1.5%) compared to the same period of 1994.   Selling, general and 
administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1995 decreased 
$129,000 (2.1%) compared to the prior fiscal quarter.  For the first three
quarters of the 1995 fiscal year, selling, general and administrative 
expenses increased $17,000 (.1%) to $19,853,000 compared to the same period 
in 1994.  Selling, general and administrative expenses grew at a slightly 
lower rate than did sales volume in the respective periods.

Depreciation expense in the third quarter of 1995 was $522,000, the same as 
the fiscal quarter.  Compared to the same period last year, depreciation 
expense increased $31,000 (6.3%) and the $1,565,000 in depreciation expense 
for the first three quarters of 1995 was $93,000 (6.3%) higher than the same 
period in 1994.  

The effective tax rate in the first thirty-nine weeks of 1995 was 38.0%, 
consistent with the same period in the prior year. 

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2,851,000 (22.5%) to $9,798,000 in the 
first thirty-nine weeks of the 1995 fiscal year.  Cash flows from operating 
activities ($3,856,000) were favorably influenced by net income for the 
period ($4,569,000),depreciation expense ($1,565,000) and reductions in 
accounts receivable balances ($606,000) off set by increases in inventories
($1,116,000) and prepaid expenses and other ($1,442,000).  For the first 
thirty-nine weeks of the prior fiscal year, cash and cash equivalents 
benefited primarily from depreciation ($1,472,000), reductions in accounts
receivable ($968,000) and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses
($996,000).

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations (Continued)

Cash used in the first thirty-nine weeks of the 1995 fiscal year for 
additions to plant and equipment totaled $5,015,000. The amount reflects 
the Company's continued investment in manufacturing facilities and 
transportation equipment.  Significant expenditures are currently in process 
related to projects that extend into fiscal 1995 and beyond.  These 
expenditures include a food processing facility in North Carolina and 
extensive additions to an existing plant in Texas. Total capital expenditures 
for these projects in the $9 to $10 million range are currently
anticipated.

Cash used for financing activities consists of cash dividends in the amount 
of $1,691,000 for the first 39 weeks of 1995, an increase of $282,000 (20.0%)
over the comparable period last year.  The increase relates to a three-cent 
per share extra cash dividend paid in the first quarter of 1995 in addition 
to the regular five-cent per share cash dividends paid in the first three 
quarters of 1995 and 1994.

The Company remained free of interest bearing debt during the first three 
quarters of 1995.  The Company extended its revolving line of credit with 
Bank of America that now expires April 30, 1997 and provides for borrowings 
up to $2,000,000.  The Company has not borrowed under the line for more than 
eight years.

The impact of inflation on the Company's financial position and results of
operations has not been significant.  Management is of the opinion that the
Company's strong financial position and its capital resources are sufficient 
to provide for its operating needs and capital expenditures.
