1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    The November 30, 1993 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from
    audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures
    required by generally accepted accounting principles.

    The consolidated balance sheet as of February 26, 1994, the consolidated
    statements of earnings, and the consolidated statements of cash flows for
    the periods ended February 26, 1994 and February 27, 1993 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 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 consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
    the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the
    Company's November 30, 1993 annual report to shareholders.  The results of
    operations for the period ended February 26, 1994 are not necessarily
    indicative of the operating results for the full year.


2.  ACQUISITIONS

    The Company purchased all of the shares of Airguard Industries, Inc. on
    April  30, 1993 and the assets of Guardian Filter/United Engine Life
    effective June 1, 1993, for $13,504 in cash, including acquisition
    expenses.

    Unaudited pro forma net sales for the Company would have been $54,600 for
    the three months ended February 27, 1993.  Net earnings and earnings per
    share for this period would not have been significantly affected.  These
    1993 unaudited pro forma amounts are presented as if the acquisitions had
    occurred at the beginning of the period presented and does not purport to
    be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made
    as of that date or of results which may occur in the future.


3.  INCOME TAXES

    In December 1993, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 "Accounting for Income
    Taxes".  SFAS 109 requires a change from the deferred to the liability
    method of computing deferred income taxes.  The liability method requires
    the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected
    future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis and
    financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities.  The cumulative
    effect of adoption as of the beginning of fiscal 1994 was to increase net
    earnings by $630.

PART I - ITEM 2



                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

                 OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



CLARCOR's strong first quarter 1994 operations generated increased sales,
operating profit, net earnings and earnings per share over the same quarter
last year.  Substantial gains were recorded from operations in the filtration
markets, and were aided by the results from the Company's recent acquisitions.
Operations in CLARCOR's Consumer Products Group lagged in the first quarter,
and were down compared to last year.  For the remainder of the year, the
Company expects continued strength in the Filtration operations, and a rebound
in Consumer operations.


Consolidated sales in the first quarter of 1994 increased 33.3% to $55,890,000
from the 1993 level of $41,913,000.  Sales in the Filtration Products Group
increased 55.0% over sales of the comparable quarter last year.  This was due
principally to the sales from the Company's second quarter 1993 acquisitions,
but also to market share gains recorded in the group's heavy duty and railroad
locomotive markets.   Consumer Products Group sales in the current quarter
were down 12.4% compared to last year, due to reduced shipments of bandage and
spice containers.

First quarter consolidated operating profit increased to $5,899,000 in 1994.
This is a 17.1% increase compared to profit recorded in the first quarter of
1993.  Filtration Group operating profit increased 41.7%, and is mainly
attributable to aggressive productivity improvement and cost reduction
programs implemented last year in the group's heavy duty filter operations.
Without the acquisitions, and before the 1993 Baldwin N.V. charge taken in the
first quarter of last year, Filtration operating profit increased 21.7%.
First quarter operating profit in the Consumer Products Group declined sharply
when compared to last year.  Profits suffered due to the group's level of
fixed costs in the face of reduced shipments volume.

Other expense reflected a net $360,000 in the first quarter of the current
year,  compared to first quarter net expense of $425,000 in the prior year.
The current year expense is down from last year, due chiefly to reduced
interest expense on the lower long-term debt level.

Earnings before income taxes totaled $5,539,000 in the current year first
quarter.  This was an increase of 20.1% over prior year pre-tax income, and
resulted from the strong gains recorded in the Filtration operations, and, to
a lesser extent, from the reduced net other expense.

The current year first quarter provision for income taxes was $2,124,000, and
represented an effective rate of 38.3% of pretax earnings.  This compares to
prior year first quarter income taxes totaling $1,520,000, or an effective
rate of 33.0%. The effective tax rate for the current year reflects higher
statutory rates and no reduction of previously established accruals for income
taxes, as did the rate in 1993.

Current year first quarter net earnings before the cumulative effect of an
accounting change totaled $3,415,000.  This was a 10.5% increase over
comparable first quarter earnings of $3,091,000 last year.

The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes", in the first quarter of
1994.  This statement establishes financial and reporting standards for the
effects of income taxes that result from an enterprise's activities during the
current and preceding years.  The current quarter adoption of this standard
resulted in increased earnings of $630,000.

Consolidated net earnings totaled $4,045,000 in the current quarter.   This
was an increase of 30.9% compared to net earnings in the first quarter of
1993.

PART I - ITEM 2




                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

            OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, CONTINUED





Net earnings per share from operations in the current quarter were $.23, and
compare to $.21 in the first quarter of last year.  The cumulative effect of
the income tax accounting change contributed $.04 per share to current quarter
earnings, making total earnings per share $.27, compared to total earnings per
share of $.21 in 1993.

CLARCOR continued to maintain a strong and liquid consolidated balance sheet.

Working capital at February 26, 1994 totaled $52,019,000, down slightly from
$52,873,000 at November 30, 1993.  Among the current assets and liabilities,
working capital was generated by increases in inventory assets, and decreases
in accrued and other liabilities.  Working capital declined due to lower cash
and investment balances and accounts receivable, and also to increases in
accounts payable.  The current ratio at the end of the first quarter was
2.6:1, the same as at the end of 1993.

During the first quarter, plant assets net of accumulated depreciation
increased $1,219,000 to $48,855,000, as the Company continued to invest in
productive capacity.

The long-term debt less the current portion declined in the first quarter to
$22,763,000 as scheduled debt repayments were made during the quarter.

Consolidated shareholders' equity increased $2,812,000 in the current quarter
to $107,453,000 from the year-end 1993 level.

Total capitalization at the end of the first quarter increased $958,000 to
$130,216,000.  This compares to $129,258,000 at November 30, 1993.  As a
percent of total capitalization, long-term debt at the end of the first
quarter was 17.5%, compared to 19.0% at the end of fiscal 1993.

CLARCOR recorded a $3,654,000 net reduction of cash in the first quarter of
1994.  This compares to a cash increase of $14,346,000 in the first quarter of
1993, a quarter which included the collection of the $20,700,000 proceeds
related to the sale of the Precision Products Group.

Net cash from operating activities totaled $2,132,000 compared to a total of
$2,971,000 in the first quarter of 1993.  The difference is due to increased
current year investment in operating assets.

Net cash used in current year first quarter investing activities totaled
$1,589,000, compared to $18,214,000 of net cash generated in the first quarter
of 1993.  This current quarter figure reflected investment in plant assets,
while the previous year's first quarter saw the collection of the proceeds
from the sale of the Precision Products Group, which totalled $20,700,000.

Current quarter financing activities used net cash of $4,197,000, compared to
$6,839,000 in the first quarter last year.  The difference is mainly
attributable to $3,369,000 used in the previous year to purchase shares of the
Company's stock for the treasury.

The current level of CLARCOR's operations continue to generate sufficient cash
to fund operating needs, add needed productive capacity, and provide for the
repayment of the Company's long-term debt.  Sufficient lines of credit remain
available to meet CLARCOR's current operating needs.
