              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS




NOTE A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore,
do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  The financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned
subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included and all such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.




NOTE B - Interim LIFO Calculations

An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the
end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on 
management's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since
these are affected by factors beyond management's control, interim results are
subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.




NOTE C - Supplementary Cash Flow Information

The Company made total cash payments for interest (including capitalized
interest) of approximately $3,308,000 and $2,807,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

The Company made total income tax payments of $951,000 and $2,202,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the quarter increased 17.3% over the same period for 1995.
Comparable-store sales (sales from stores in operation or expanded for a full
year or more) increased 5.6% over the year-earlier period.  An accelerated
rollout of new stores in late 1995, as well as expansion of existing locations,
also contributed to the increase in sales.  Management believes that its
overall marketing strategy has allowed the Company to attract more middle- to
upper-middle income consumers through its ongoing programs of upscaling the
store format and merchandise lines and the use of fully accessorized room
settings.

Gross margin as a percentage of net sales was 47.5% for the first quarter of
1996 as compared to 47.1% in 1995.  This increase is attributed to the
Company's ability to differentiate its products and improvement in the
Company's pricing discipline in certain markets.

Credit service charge revenue increased 7.6% in absolute dollars and the level
of charge sales decreased approximately 2% from approximately 80% in the
year-ago period.  The provision for doubtful accounts increased 0.1% of net
sales as the level of bad debt write-offs was as expected.  Management believes
that this percentage will remain at this slightly higher level during the
phase-in and early periods of the consolidation of the Company's credit
operations.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 0.6% as a percentage of
net sales.  This increase was primarily related to advertising expenditures
which were 1.0% of net sales greater than in the prior-year period.  Occupancy
costs also increased 0.5% as a percentage of net sales compared to the year ago
quarter reflecting the increased depreciation and insurance costs associated
with eight new and ten expanded stores.  Pre-opening expenses were also higher
than in the prior-year period.  These increases were partially offset by
decreases as a percentage of net sales in warehousing and administrative
expenses.

Interest expense increased 0.4% as a percentage of net sales as a result of an
increase in average borrowings.  The Company's effective interest rate
decreased 12 basis points compared to the year ago period.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

The Company has used internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance
its continuing operations and growth.  Net cash used in operations was $1.7
million in the first quarter of 1996.  The accounts receivable increase of $7.6
million during the quarter was partially offset by depreciation and
amortization of $3.1 million.

Investing activities used $7.4 million in cash, $7.2 million of which was used
for planned capital expenditures.  During the quarter, the Company completed
the construction of two new stores and the expansion of three existing stores.

Financing activities provided $10.2 million of cash during the first quarter
primarily from $11.4 million in short-term borrowings.

                          AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                  (continued)

                                       

The Company has arrangements with banks under line-of-credit agreements.  At
March 31, 1996, of these agreements, $74 million were committed lines ($12.4
million unused) and $30 million were uncommitted lines ($11.8 million unused).
Borrowings accrue interest at competitive money-market rates and all lines are
reviewed annually for renewal.  The Company increased an existing committed
line-of-credit agreement $20 million in April 1996.  The Company has a
revolving credit/term loan agreement with a commercial bank providing for
borrowings of $15 million through 1998, at which time it converts to a term
loan, maturing in 1998.  If utilized, this facility would replace a $15 million
short-term committed line.  The Company's financial covenants under various
loan agreements allow for securitization of up to approximately one-half of the
outstanding balances of accounts receivable.  The Company plans to enter into a
financing transaction of this type in 1996, the proceeds of which would reduce
accounts receivable and notes payable to banks.

In addition to cash flow from operations, the Company uses bank lines of credit
on an interim basis to finance capital expenditures and repay long-term debt.
Longer-term transactions such as sale/lease-backs, private placements and
mortgage financing may be used to reduce short-term borrowings and manage
interest-rate risk.  The Company pursues a diversified approach to its
financing requirements and balances its overall capital structure with
fixed-rate or capped-rate debt as determined by the interest rate environment
(75% of total debt was interest-rate protected at March 31, 1996).  The
Company's average effective interest rate on all borrowings (excluding capital
leases) was 7.0%.

Capital expenditures are presently expected to include for the remainder of
1996 the completion of four new stores and the remodeling and expansion of six
existing locations.  The preliminary estimate of capital expenditures remaining
for these projects and projects which will be started in 1996 and completed in
later years is approximately $25.0 million.  In addition, the Company has
committed to lease three stores and a distribution center commencing in 1996
under operating lease agreements.  Minimum lease commitments, including
guaranteed residual values, are expected to aggregate $31 million for the
initial five-year term.  Funds available from operations, bank lines of credit
and other possible financing transactions are expected to be adequate to
finance the Company's planned expenditures.
