      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
1995 Compared to 1994

     Net sales for the first fiscal quarter of 1995 were

$41,433,000 as compared to $40,584,000 in 1994, an increase

of 2.1%.  Overall Company shipments and bookings during the 

quarter were on a comparable level with last year although

divisional product mix was less favorable.  March 1995 sales were

ahead by approximately 10% from year-ago levels.

     Gross profit for the quarter declined to 14.8% from 18.9%. 

A less favorable product mix together with increases in certain raw

material prices exerted downward pressures on profit margins. In

addition, plant operations were also adversely impacted by the

current product mix as operating rates at certain related 

manufacturing facilities declined from year-ago levels. The

comparative effect of changes in LIFO inventory reserves for the

quarter was negligible.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses declined by 

$440,000, and as a percentage of sales to 9.6% from 10.9%.  The 

decline relates primarily to lower incentive-based compensation and 

fringe benefits.

     Interest and dividend income rose by 10% in the quarter to 

$949,000 as higher rates more than offset lower average balances

of income-producing investments.  The market value of the Company's 

investment securities increased by $1,135,000 in the quarter.   

However, under the recently adopted Statement of Financial

Accounting Standards No. 115 (SFAS 115), this gain is not reflected 

in the accompanying Statement of Income.

<PAGE>
     The effective income tax rate for the current quarter was 

34.5% as against 36.1% in 1994.  The decline was primarily 

attributable to the fact that tax exempt interest represents a 

higher percentage of pre-tax income than in the comparative 1994 

period. 

     As a result of these aforementioned factors, net income 

declined to $1,978,000 from $2,624,000.  Earnings per share,

which are based upon the weighted average number of shares 

outstanding (6,002,244 vs. 6,214,724), were $0.33 as compared to

$0.42.  There was no stock option related dilution in either

comparative quarter.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's principal source of funds is expected to

be cash flow generated from operations.  Operating activities used

cash of $5,289,000 for the 13 weeks ended March 4, 1995 whereas 

such activities provided cash of $3,243,000 in the comparative 1994 

period.  Of this change, approximately $5,300,000 related to 

comparative declines in accounts receivable.

     Capital expenditures for the three months were $1,450,000

as against $935,000 in the 1994 period.  The Company purchased

additional high speed knitting machines for two of its knitting

mills to increase manufacturing efficiencies and reduce unit costs.

<PAGE>
     During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 26,671 

shares of its Common Stock at an average price of $31.30.  In

addition, the Company paid $3,798,000 for shares which were

repurchased in the fourth quarter of 1994. 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.

     The Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share,

payable March 10, 1995, to stockholders of record as of February

23, 1995.

     Stockholders' equity rose to $130,417,000, or $21.69 per 

share, from $129,533,000, or $21.52 per share, at the previous

year-end December 3, 1994, and $126,167,000, or $20.35 per
