1.  Basis of presentation:

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  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 only
normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the 13
weeks ended February 26, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the entire year ended December 3,
1994. The balance sheet at November 27, 1993 has been derived from
the audited balance sheet at that date.  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 year ended November 27, 1993.





2.  Stockholders' Equity:

     Earnings Per Share:

      Earnings per share has been computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and common
stock equivalents outstanding during the period.  The weighted
average number of shares used in computing earnings per share for
the first quarter ended February 26, 1994 and February 27, 1993,
were 6,214,724 and 6,125,950 respectively.



     Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

      The second of 15 equal annual principal installments of
$790,500 plus interest at prime was paid by the ESOP to the Company
on August 2, 1993. The balance on the ESOP indebtedness of
$10,277,000 is reflected as a reduction of the Company's
Stockholders' Equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

4.  Inventories:

     The Company's inventories are valued at the lower of cost  or
market. Cost is determined principally by the last-in,  first-out
(LIFO) method with the remainder being determined by the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method. Because the inventory  valuation under the
LIFO method is based upon an annual determination of inventory
levels and costs as of the fiscal year-end, the interim LIFO
calculations are based on management's estimates of expected
year-end inventory levels and costs.

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

Results of Operations
First Quarter 
1994 Compared to 1993
- ---------------------

     Net sales for the first fiscal quarter of 1994 were
$40,584,000, or 5.2% higher than the comparable 1993 period.  The
major portion of this increase represents additional units shipped
with the balance resulting from a more profitable product mix. 
Although severe winter conditions adversely affected retail demand
in the final segment of the quarter, customer bookings and
shipments generally continued at the comparatively high level of
the 1993 fourth quarter.  
     Gross profit rose significantly to 18.9% from 16.5% last
year.  An improved product mix with comparatively high seasonal
operating rates at manufacturing plants helped sustain favorable
margins.  Adjustments to LIFO inventory reserves in both
comparative quarters were minimal.  
     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to
10.9% from 9.9% last year as dollar expenditures rose by $591,000.
The increase relates primarily to comparatively lower
incentive-based sales compensation in 1993 and increased sales
related salaries in the current period.  
     Interest and dividend income rose by 14.2% in the quarter, or
$107,000 as a result of higher average balances of interest-earning
assets in 1994 compared to last year.  Gain on marketable
securities declined from $205,000 in 1993 to $6,000 as the market
value of investments fell as a result of a recent rise in interest
rate levels.  
     The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was
36.1% as against 34.6% in 1993.  The corporate statutory rate
utilized in the initial quarter of 1993 of 34.0% was raised
(retroactively) to 35.0% in August 1993.  
     As a result of these aforementioned factors, net income rose
to $2,624,000, or 6.5% of sales compared to $2,271,000, or 5.9% of
sales, an increase of 15.5%.  Earnings per share were $0.42 as
compared to $0.37. There was no earnings dilution relative to
common stock equivalents in either comparative quarter.  

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
     The Company's principal source of funds is expected to be cash
flow generated from operations.  Cash provided by operating
activities for the thirteen weeks ended February 26, 1994,
increased to $3,243,000 as compared to $21,000 in 1993.  Of this
increase, approximately $5.6 million arose from a comparative
decrease in accounts receivables.  Working capital rose to $101.6
million from  $99.3 million at the prior fiscal year-end.  
     Capital expenditures for the three months were $935,000 as
against $406,000 in 1993. The Company purchased additional dyeing
and finishing equipment for its two dyehouses in order to service
expanded marketing activities. 
     During and subsequent to the first quarter, the Company
repurchased 39,000 shares of its Common Stock at an average price
of $35.00. The Company intends to continue to purchase its shares
of Common Stock from time-to-time as market conditions warrant and
price criteria are met.  
<PAGE>
     The Company has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per
share, payable April 15, 1994, to stockholders of record as of
March 30, 1994. 
     Stockholders' equity rose to $126,167,000, or $20.35 book
value per share, from $124,326,000, or $19.98 per share, at the
previous year-end November 27, 1993.  
     Management believes that the current financial position of the
Company is more than adequate to internally fund any future
expenditures to maintain, modernize and expand its manufacturing
facilities, pay dividends and make acquisitions of textile related
businesses if criteria relating to indebtedness, market expansion
and existing management are met.
