                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)

    1.   Consolidated Financial Statements

           The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1994, the
    consolidated statements of income for the three month periods ended
    April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 and the consolidated statements of cash
    flows for the three month periods then ended have been prepared by the
    Company, without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
    (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
    fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at
    April 30, 1994 and for all periods presented have been made.

           Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included
    in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
    accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
    that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in
    the Company's January 29, 1994 annual report on Form 10-K.  The results
    of operations for the periods ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 are
    not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

    2.   Stockholders' Equity

           During the three months ended April 30, 1994, shareholders'
    equity changed to reflect the following items:  net income of
    $13,955,000; dividends paid of $2,312,000; amortization of deferred
    compensation expense of $646,000; an increase in common stock and
    additional paid in capital of $288,000 from the exercise of options for
    common stock; a reduction of common stock and additional paid-in
    capital of $383,000 from the retirement of common stock; an increase in
    stockholders' equity of $1,357,000 from the cumulative effect of
    adopting Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115; and a
    decrease in stockholders' equity of $1,140,000 from the unrealized loss
    on available-for-sale securities.

    3.  Income Taxes

           Effective January 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"), "Accounting for
    Income Taxes" and has separately reported the cumulative effect of that
    change in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the thirteen weeks
    ended May 1, 1993.  SFAS 109 requires a change from the deferred method
    of accounting for income taxes under APB Opinion 11 to the liability
    method of accounting for income taxes.  Under the liability method,
    deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted to reflect the effect
    of changes in enacted tax rates on expected reversals of financial

                                      (5)












    <PAGE>
    statement and income tax carrying value differences.  As permitted by
    SFAS 109, the Company elected not to restate the financial
    statements for any prior years.  The cumulative effect of the change
    for the thirteen weeks ended May 1, 1993 was an increase in net income
    of $3,991,000 or $0.04 per share.

    4.  Accounting Changes

           In May, 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 ("SFAS 115"),
    "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities."
    The Company adopted the provisions of the new standard for investments
    held as of or acquired after January 30, 1994.  In accordance with SFAS
    115, prior period financial statements have not been restated.
    Pursuant to SFAS 115, management has determined that the Company's
    investments should be classified as available-for-sale.  As available-
    for-sale investments, these securities are carried at fair value
    (previously carried at amortized cost) and unrealized gains and losses
    are reported in a separate component of stockholders' equity.  The
    amortized cost of investments is adjusted for amortization of premiums
    and the accretion of discounts to maturity.  Such amortization is
    included in other income.  Realized gains and losses are also included
    in other income.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific
    identification method.  Interest from investments is included in other
    income.

    The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities as of April
    30, 1994:

           The following table sets forth, as a percentage of net sales,
    certain items appearing in the Consolidated Statements of Income for
    the thirteen week periods ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993.

    Thirteen Weeks Ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993

         Net sales for the first quarter of the fiscal year ending January
    28, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995") totaled $297,611,000 as compared to
    $275,299,000 for the corresponding period of the fiscal year ended
    January 29, 1994 ("Fiscal 1994"), an 8.1% increase.  The Company had a
    0.3% decrease in sales of existing stores compared to Fiscal 1994.
    11.7% of sales for the first quarter of Fiscal 1995 are attributable to
    stores opened since the first quarter of Fiscal 1994.  Sales for stores
    closed since the first quarter of Fiscal 1994 accounted for 3.3% of
    sales during that quarter.  The number of retail stores increased from
    1,236 on May 1, 1993 to 1,344 on April 30, 1994.  During the first
    quarter of Fiscal 1995 the Company opened 19 new stores and closed 8
    existing stores.  The Company anticipates a net addition of

                                      (8)












    <PAGE>
    approximately 125 new stores in Fiscal 1995 and a 17% expansion of
    selling square footage.

         Cost of goods sold, buying and occupancy expenses expressed as a
    percentage of sales increased 1.7% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995
    as compared with the corresponding period of Fiscal 1994.  The primary
    reasons for this increase were the effect of lower comparative store
    sales on relatively fixed buying and occupancy costs and a decline in
    merchandise margins as compared to the prior year.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses expressed as a
    percentage of sales decreased 0.1% in the first quarter of Fiscal 1995
    as compared to the corresponding period of Fiscal 1994.  The primary
    reason for this decrease was the favorable effect of lower interest
    rates on the costs of the Company's private label credit card program
    as compared to the corresponding period of the prior year.  This was
    offset by the effects of lower comparative store sales on relatively
    fixed general and administrative costs.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At April 30, 1994, the Company had working capital of $186,365,000
    as compared with $181,906,000 at January 29, 1994.  The ratio of
    current assets to current liabilities was 1.6 to 1 at April 30, 1994
    and 1.7 to 1 at January 29, 1994.

         Cash used in operating activities was $1,739,000 during the first
    three months of Fiscal 1995 as compared to cash provided by operating
    activities of $19,569,000 during the corresponding period of Fiscal
    1994.  This decline in cash flow from operations was primarily due to
    an $18,438,000 increase in accounts receivable of the Company's private
    label credit card program. These receivables are included in other
    current assets.  The Company has entered into various agreements
    whereby it can sell the receivables on a revolving basis and all
    receivables held at April 30, 1994 were subsequently sold during May,
    1994.

         Through April 30, 1994, capital expenditures amounted to
    $20,622,000.  During Fiscal 1995, the Company anticipates incurring
    capital expenditures of approximately $88 million primarily for the
    construction of 170 new stores, the remodeling and expansion of 80
    existing stores, and the expansion of the distribution facility in
    Greencastle, Indiana.  It is anticipated that the capital required for
    expenditures will be financed principally through internally generated
    funds.

         Cash dividends were $2,312,000 for the three months ended April
    30, 1994 as compared to $2,306,000 for the comparable period of Fiscal
    1994.
