NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     The accompanying unaudited consolidated 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.  Operating results for the
       three month period ended April 30, 1994 are not necessarily
       indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal
       year ended January 28, 1995 due to the seasonal nature of the
       business.  For further information, refer to the consolidated
       financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
       Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
       January 29, 1994.

2.     The retail last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory method is used
       to value merchandise inventories, with such LIFO merchandise
       inventories not being carried in excess of current cost. 
       Under this method, at April 30, 1994, and May 1, 1993, the
       LIFO cost of merchandise inventories was approximately $14.5
       million less than current cost.  At January 29, 1994, the LIFO
       cost of merchandise inventories was approximately $13.2
       million less than current cost. 

3.     Net sales include leased department sales of $8.9 million and
       $14.2 million for the quarters ending April 30, 1994 and May
       1, 1993, respectively.  Leased department sales for the twelve
       months ending April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 were $61.2
       million and $89.5 million respectively. 

4.     The effective income tax rate was 38% for the first quarter of
       1994 and 37% for the first quarter of 1993.  No allocation
       between current and deferred income taxes was made during the
       interim periods as such amounts would not be material to the
       consolidated balance sheets.  The provision for income taxes
       is based on an estimated annual effective tax rate.  Net
       income for the three months ended April 30, 1994 was $48.3
       million as compared to $48.2 million for the three months
       ended May 1, 1993.  For the twelve month period ended April
       30, 1994, the increase was 1% over the prior period.

     Net income for the three months ended April 30, 1994 was $48.3
     million as compared to $48.2 million for the three months
     ended May 1, 1993.  For the twelve month period ended April
     30, 1994, the increase was 1% over the prior period.  

     Sales for the first quarter of 1994 were $1,283.9 million as
     compared to $1,163.2 million for the first quarter of 1993. 
     This is an increase of 10%.  The sales increase for comparable
     stores was 7%.  The twelve month sales increase for 1994 over
     1993 was 8%, for comparable stores the increase was 4%.

     Cost of sales increased from 64.8% of net sales for the first
     quarter of 1993 to 66.4% for the first quarter of 1994.  This
     increase was caused by lower initial markups on merchandise 
     purchases and by a higher level of markdowns taken to clear
     seasonal merchandise.  For the twelve months ended
     April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993, the increase was from 64.6% to 64.9%.  

     Advertising, selling, administrative and general expenses
     decreased from 25.2% of net sales for the first quarter of
     1993 to 24.2% for the first quarter of 1994.  For the twelve
     months ended April 30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 the percent to net
     sales decreased from 24.3% to 23.9%.  The Company continues to
     control these expenses as sales grow.  

     Depreciation and amortization expense remained constant as a
     percentage of sales for the first quarter of 1994 compared to
     the first quarter of 1993.  For the twelve months ended April
     30, 1994 and May 1, 1993 the depreciation and amortization
     expense as a percentage of sales increased from 3.0% to 3.4%. 
     This is due to a higher proportion of the Company's properties
     being owned rather than leased.  

     Rental expense decreased from 1.1% of net sales for the first
     quarter of 1993 to 1.0% of net sales in the three months ended
     April 30, 1994.  For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994
     and May 1, 1993 rental expense as a percent of net sales
     decreased slightly from 1.3% of net sales to 1.2% of net
     sales.  This is due to a higher proportion of the Company's
     properties being owned rather than leased.

     Interest and debt expense decreased from 2.8% of net sales for
     the first quarter of 1993 to 2.4% of net sales for the first
     quarter of 1994.  For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994
     interest and debt expense decreased slightly from 2.6% of net
     sales in 1993 to 2.4% of net sales in 1994.  This is due to a
     lower level of debt this year compared to last year.

     Service charges, interest and other income decreased to 3.7%
     of net sales in the first quarter of 1994 from 4.1% of net
     sales in 1993.  For the twelve months ended April 30, 1994
     this decreased to 3.5% of net sales from 3.6% of net sales in
     1993.  This decline is caused by a decline in credit sales as
     a percentage of total sales.

     The effective federal and state income tax rate was 38% for
     the first quarter of 1994 and 37% for the first quarter of
     1993.

     Financial Condition

     The Company's working capital was $1,684.1 million at April
     30, 1994, $1,660.6 million at January 29, 1994, and $1,620.9
     million at May 1, 1993.  The current ratio for these periods
     was 2.9, 3.1 and 2.9, respectively.  The ratio of long-term
     debt and capitalized lease obligations as a percentage of
     equity was 59.2%, 61.0% and 71.9% at April 30, 1994, January
     29, 1994, and May 1, 1993, respectively.  This ratio has
     decreased due to a lower level of long-term debt as well as
     growth in stockholders' equity.    

     The Company invested $42.9 million in capital expenditures for
     the three months ended April 30, 1994 as compared to $66.7
     million for the three months ended May 1, 1993.  In 1994, the
     Company plans to build eight new stores, one replacement store
     and to  remodel significantly four additional stores.  In
     1993, the Company opened ten new stores and remodeled
     significantly and expanded three stores.

     Merchandise inventories increased by 7% from $1,378.9 million
     at May 1, 1993 to $1,480.9 million at April 30, 1994.  This
     increase is due to the opening of ten new stores in 1993 and
     two stores in the first quarter of 1994.  On a comparable
     store basis, the rate of increase in merchandise inventories
     was lower than the rate of increase for comparable stores
     sales.

     Fluctuations in certain other balance sheet accounts between
     January 29, 1994 and April 30, 1994 reflect normal seasonal
     variations within the retail industry.
