                                  ------

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
- -----------------

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

(a)   Angelica Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries
      provide products and services to a wide variety of
      institutions and individuals, which are in primarily three
      markets: health services, hospitality and other service
      industries.  The Company was founded in 1878 and was
      incorporated as Angelica Corporation in 1968.

(b)   The Company's businesses are reported in three industry
      segments: Rental Services, Manufacturing and Marketing and
      Retail Sales.  Information about the Company's industry
      segments appears on page 23 of the Company's Annual Report to
      Shareholders for the year ended January 29, 1994 and is
      incorporated by reference.  This information includes sales
      and rental service revenues, earnings, identifiable assets for
      each segment, depreciation and capital additions for each of
      the five years in the period ended January 29, 1994.

(c)   1 (i)  RENTAL SERVICES
             ---------------

              This segment has 35 plants generally in or near major
              metropolitan areas in the United States providing
              textile rental and laundry services for health care
              institutions, presently servicing 865 institutions with
              approximately 136,000 beds.  This segment also provides
              general linen services in selected areas, principally
              to hotels, casinos, motels and restaurants.

              MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING
              ---------------------------

              The Company's Manufacturing and Marketing operations
              consist of the Angelica Uniform Group in the United
              States and operations in Canada, and the United
              Kingdom, collectively engaged in the manufacture and
              sale of uniforms and business career apparel for a wide
              variety of institutions and businesses.

              RETAIL SALES
              ------------

              The Retail Sales segment is a specialty retailer
              offering uniforms and duty shoes primarily for nurses
              and other health care professionals through a
              nationwide chain of 244 retail stores, located
              primarily in malls and strip shopping centers.

      (ii)    Not applicable.


                                    -1-
<PAGE> 3
      (iii)   The raw materials used by the Company (principally by
              the Angelica Uniform Group) in the conduct of its
              business consist principally of textile piece goods,
              thread, and trimmings, such as buttons, zippers and
              labels.  The Company purchases piece goods from most
              major United States manufacturers of textile products.
              These materials are available from a number of sources.


      (iv)    The Company does not hold any material patents,
              licenses, franchises or concessions.

      (v)     The Company does not consider its business to be
              seasonal to any significant extent.

      (vi)    Not applicable.

      (vii)   No segment of the Company's business is dependent on a
              single customer or a few customers.

      (viii)  Since the bulk of the Company's sales are to
              institutional users which buy on a regular recurring
              basis, the Company's backlog of orders at any given
              time consists principally of firm orders in the process
              of being filled and is not considered significant to
              the Company's business.

      (ix)    Not applicable.

      (x)     The markets in which the Rental Services segment
              operates are very competitive.  Industry statistics are
              not available, but the Company believes that its Rental
              Services segment constitutes the largest supplier of
              textile rental and laundry services to health care
              institutions in the United States.  Competition is on
              the basis of quality, reliability and price.

              The Manufacturing and Marketing operations compete with
              more than four dozen firms, including divisions of
              larger corporations, in the United States, Canada and
              England.  Competition is also provided by local firms
              in most major metropolitan areas.  The nature and
              degree of competition varies with the customer and
              market where it occurs.  Industry statistics are not
              available, but the Company believes that it is the
              leading supplier of garments to hospitals, hotels and
              motels, and food service establishments and one of the
              leading suppliers of uniforms to linen suppliers in the
              United States.  Competition is extensive and is based
              on many factors, including design, quality, consistency
              of product, delivery, price and distribution.

              The Company believes there are approximately 2,000
              retail stores in the U.S. offering merchandise
              comparable to


                                    -2-
<PAGE> 4
              that offered by the Company's Retail Sales segment.  Retail
              operations are conducted under highly competitive conditions
              in the local area where each of the Company's stores is
              located, with competition being on the basis of store
              location, merchandise selection and value.  Industry
              statistics are not available, but the Company believes its
              Retail Sales segment is the nation's largest specialty
              retailer offering uniforms and duty shoes to nurses and
              other health care professionals.

      (xi)    The Angelica Uniform Group carries on research,
              development and testing programs both internally and in
              cooperation with independent laboratories and research
              institutions, and works with suppliers to develop
              specialized fabrics to improve performance and to meet
              specific technological requirements.  The dollar amount
              spent is not significant.

      (xii)   The Company does not expect any material expenditures
              will be required in order to comply with any Federal,
              state or local environmental regulations.

     (xiii)   The Company employs approximately 9,500 persons
              (including approximately 690 part-time employees).

(d)   The information required by Section (d) of this Item is hereby
      incorporated by reference to Note 9 of "Notes to Consolidated
      Financial Statements" appearing on page 23 of the Company's
      Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended January 29,
      1994.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES
- -------------------

      The Company's real estate, both owned and leased, which is
used in its Manufacturing and Marketing segment, at January 29,
1994 was comprised of 16 manufacturing plants in the United States,
one plant in Canada, one plant in Costa Rica, and one plant in
Great Britain, plus appropriate warehouses and sales facilities in
the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom.  As of January
29, 1994, 35 laundries plus warehouse facilities located in 15
states were used in the Rental Services segment, and 244 retail
specialty stores located in 36 states were used in the Retail Sales
segment.  In the opinion of the Company, all such facilities are
maintained in good condition and are adequate and suitable for the
purposes for which they are used.  The manufacturing facilities are
normally fully utilized and operate generally on a one-shift basis.
Laundry facilities generally are not fully utilized, although some
of them operate on a multi-shift basis.  The Company estimates that
output of these facilities could be increased by 20 percent with
existing equipment by working longer hours and by an additional 25
percent (for a total of 45 percent) by working longer hours plus
installation of additional equipment.  A substantial portion of the
real estate utilized by the Company is leased.  Capitalized leases,
primarily

                                    -3-
<PAGE> 5
utilized by the Manufacturing and Marketing segment, represent
approximately .01% of the net book value of all fixed assets at January
29, 1994.  No difficulty in renewing leases which expire in the near
future is anticipated by the Company.

      Real estate which is owned by the Company is approximately
50.8% of the net book value of all fixed assets.  There is no
individual parcel of real estate owned or leased which is of
material significance to the Company's total assets.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------

Management believes that liabilities, if any, resulting from
pending routine litigation in the ordinary course of the Company's
business should not materially affect the financial condition or
operations of the Company.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
- ----------------------------------------------------------

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the
fourth quarter of the Company's year ended January 29, 1994.

           required by this item (Exhibit Nos. 10.1 through 10.21) and

 (b)  Reports on Form 8-K
      -------------------

      The Registrant filed no reports on Form 8-K during the last
      quarter of the year ended January 29, 1994.

Other Matters
- -------------

      For the purposes of complying with the amendments to the rules
governing Form S-8 (effective July 13, 1990), under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, the undersigned registrant hereby
undertakes as follows, which undertaking is hereby incorporated by
reference into registrant's Registration Statements on Form S-8
Nos. 33-5524 (filed May 8, 1986), 33-22850 (filed June 29, 1988),
2-77932 (filed June 9, 1982), 2-97291 (filed April 25, 1985), and
33-625 (filed October 3, 1985).

      Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in
the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant
will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
                 ----------------------------------------


To Angelica Corporation:

We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated financial statements included in the
Annual Report to Shareholders of Angelica Corporation and
subsidiaries incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, and have
issued our report thereon dated March 15, 1994.  Our audit was made
for the purpose of forming an opinion on those statements taken as
a whole.  The schedules listed in Item 14(a)2(ii) on page 10 are
the responsibility of the Corporation's management and are
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and are not part of the basic
consolidated financial statements.  These schedules have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly
state in all material respects the financial data required to be
set forth therein in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole.

                        ! Financial Condition !
                        -----------------------

At the end of fiscal 1994, the financial condition of the Company
continued to be quite strong. Working capital of $157.2 million and a
current ratio of 4.0 to 1 were both very strong, although slightly lower
than working capital of $161.1 million and a current ratio of 4.7 to 1
at the end of the prior year. Total current assets rose $5.4 million in
the year, including a small decrease in cash and short-term investments
and modest increases in all other categories. Receivables increased by
$1.7 million, and days outstanding were 67 versus 66 at the same time
last year. A $2.2 million increase in linens in service was largely due
to the Colton, California and Las Vegas, Nevada laundry acquisitions
made in fiscal 1994. Current liabilities rose by $9.4 million, as a
result of $9.9 million of short-term bank loans outstanding at year end
which were used principally to finance acquisitions during the year.
  Long-term debt decreased
$5.9 million in fiscal 1994 as a result of normal sinking fund payments
and repayment of life insurance policy loans. No new long-term debt was
issued during the year. The ratio of long-term debt to total long-term
debt and equity at year end dropped to 27.3% compared with 29.2% last
year. Pre-tax interest coverage in fiscal 1994 was lower than the prior
year due to lower income, but still 3.4 times.
  Cash flow from operating activities in fiscal 1994 was $21.1 million,
down from $30.8 million in the prior year due to lower income and
increased working capital requirements. Receivables and linens in
service, both of which decreased providing cash flow in fiscal 1993,
showed modest increases requiring cash use in fiscal 1994. Cash used
in investing activities was
$17.4 million this year compared with $15.0 million the prior year.
Capital expenditures of $8.8 million were lower than the $9.9 million
invested in fiscal 1993, but acquisition expenditures of $8.6 million
this year versus $5.1 million last year more than offset the difference.
Cash flow used in financing activities was $4.4 million in fiscal 1994,
which included
$8.4 million of dividends paid and $5.9 million of long-term debt
repayments, offset in part by the external, short-term bank financing of
$9.9 million.
  No material change in the Company's future aggregate cash requirements
is foreseen at the present time. In addition, it is Management's opinion
that the Company's financial condition is such that internal and
external resources are sufficient to satisfy the Company's future
requirements for capital expenditures, dividends and working capital.

In fiscal 1994, combined sales
and rental service revenues of $427.1 million were $3.7 million or 0.9
percent lower than last year. Excluding acquisitions made this year and
last, the decline would have been 2.8 percent. In the Rental Services
segment, revenues were down $3.2 million (1.5 percent). The impact on
revenues of the previously-announced loss of two large customers in
California at midyear last year was offset in part by new customer
additions and by acquisitions this year. Sales of the Manufacturing and
Marketing segment, before deduction for intersegment sales, were $3.1
million or 1.7 percent lower than the prior year. Excluding
acquisitions, sales would have been 3.7 percent lower. In the U.S.
operations of this segment, sales to the hospitality market showed
strong increases while sales to the health care market were down. Sales
of the Canadian and United Kingdom operations also were lower due to the
effect of recessions there

continuing to be felt and to the loss during the year of
Canada Post, the largest Canadian customer. Life Retail Stores sales
rose $2.2 million (4.0 percent) due to acquisitions and a 1.7 percent
same-store sales increase.
  The gross profit percent to combined sales and rental service revenues
was 27.2 percent, unchanged from the prior year. In the Rental Services
segment, margins were slightly higher than the prior year largely due to
good cost control offsetting the impact of competitive pricing
pressures. Margins of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment were down
versus last year, principally the result of a change in sales mix and
competitive pricing pressures causing price reductions to retain
business. As in the previous year, margins of the Life Retail Stores
segment were fractionally lower due to higher discounts.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses in fiscal 1994 were $2.3
million or 2.8 percent higher than the prior year and increased as a
percent to combined sales and rental service revenues. Most of this
increase was due to acquisitions. Interest expense of
$7.4 million in fiscal 1994 compared with $7.5 million in the prior
year, reflecting sinking fund payments and the repayment of loans on
company-owned life insurance policies. Due to the federal income tax
increase, the effective tax rate in fiscal 1994 was 38.3 percent
compared with 38.0 percent in fiscal 1993.

                       ----------------------
Combined sales and rental service revenues of $430.8 million in fiscal
1993 were slightly lower (0.9 percent) than the prior year. Excluding
acquisitions made in fiscal 1993 and the prior year,
the decline would have been 3.8 percent. Revenues of the Rental Services
segment were down $11.8 million (5.1 percent), reflecting the midyear
loss of two large customers in California plus increased competitive
pricing pressures. Sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment,
before deduction for intersegment sales, were essentially flat compared
with last year. Excluding acquisitions, sales of this segment would have
been lower by 4.9 percent as a result of the continued impact of
recessions in the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom. In the Life
Retail Stores segment, sales rose $4.6 million (9.3 percent) due to
acquisitions plus a 6.1 percent increase in same-store sales.
  The overall gross profit percent to combined sales and rental service
revenues declined to 27.2 percent in fiscal 1993 from 29.5 percent in
the prior year as margins were down in all three businesses. Margins of
the Rental Services segment were down because of new customers being
added at lower-than-normal margin levels and the necessity, in some
cases, to lower prices to retain existing customers. In the
Manufacturing and Marketing segment, the margin decrease reflected price
reductions needed to retain business as well as some change in sales mix
to lower margin products. Margins of the Life Retail Stores were only
fractionally lower due to slightly higher discounts.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million
(2.7 percent) in fiscal 1993 and also increased as a percent to combined
sales and rental service revenues. However, excluding the selling,
general and administrative expenses of businesses acquired, these
expenses actually were lower than in fiscal 1992 and also lower as a
percent to combined sales and rental service revenues. Interest expense
of $7.5 million in fiscal 1993 was $0.5 million (7.6 percent) higher
than in the prior year due to higher rates associated with permanent
financing completed in late fiscal 1992.

               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
  All subsidiaries are wholly-owned and are included in the consolidated
financial statements. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal years 1994 and 1993 included
52 weeks; fiscal year 1992 included 53 weeks.
  Net sales are recognized at the time the merchandise is shipped to or
picked up by the customer. Rental service revenues are recognized at the
time the service is provided to the customer.
  Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to
current year presentation.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
  The Company accounts for foreign currency translation in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52. The cumulative
effect of this method is reflected as a separate component of
shareholders' equity.

INVENTORIES
  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis)
or market. Cost includes material, labor and factory overhead, as
applicable.
<TABLE>
  Inventories were comprised of the following:

=========================================================
</TABLE>

LINENS IN SERVICE
  Linens in service are stated at depreciated cost, not in excess of
market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
  Property and equipment are stated at cost. Renewals and betterments are
capitalized. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the
lives of the related assets, are charged against income when incurred
and amounted to $8,555,000, $8,935,000 and $8,427,000 for 1994, 1993 and
1992, respectively.
  Property and equipment are depreciated over their expected useful lives
(buildings - 15 to 40 years; machinery and equipment - three to ten
years). Depreciation is computed principally on the straight-line
method. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
method over their useful lives or lease terms, as appropriate.

INCOME TAXES
  The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," effective February 2, 1992. SFAS No. 109
utilizes the liability method, and deferred taxes are determined based
on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial
statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions
of the enacted tax laws. Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 109, the
Company accounted for income taxes using Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 11.

GOODWILL AND OTHER ACQUIRED ASSETS
  Goodwill, the excess of cost over net assets of businesses acquired, is
being amortized on the straight-line basis over periods not exceeding 40
years. Other acquired assets, including customer contracts and
non-competition agreements, are being amortized on the straight-line
basis generally over periods of three to five years.

NET INCOME PER SHARE
  Net income per share is computed by dividing the
net income applicable to Common Stock by the weighted average number of
Common and Common equivalent shares outstanding.

CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
  For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company
considers short-term, highly liquid investments (securities with an
original maturity date of less than three months), as cash equivalents.
  Cash payments for income taxes were $7,220,000, $9,521,000 and
$12,457,000 in 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively; and in these periods
interest payments were $7,515,000, $7,686,000 and $6,763,000,
respectively.

7 STOCK OPTIONS

Under the Company's stock option plan, incentive stock options may be
granted to certain employees at no less than the fair market value on
the date of grant. The plan also provides for the granting to certain
employees and directors of non-qualified stock options, which, under
certain conditions, may have an option price below fair market value
(although none, to date, have been granted at an option price below fair
market value). The non-qualified stock options may be associated with
stock appreciation rights. Such rights allow the optionee to obtain
shares of Common Stock (or a combination of shares and cash) equal in
value to the excess of the market price of such shares on the exercise
date over the option price of the related non-qualified stock option.
  The maximum number of Common Stock shares which may be issued in
connection with the plan is 775,000 shares. Options granted under the
plan become exercisable ratably over periods of three to five years
beginning one year from date of grant and expire after three to eight
years. Proceeds received from the exercise of options are credited to
the capital accounts.

  The Company is a party to various claims and legal proceedings which
arose in the ordinary course of its business. Although the ultimate
disposition of these proceedings is not presently determinable,
Management does not believe that an adverse determination in any or all
of such proceedings will have a material adverse effect upon the
financial condition or operating results of the Company. In connection
with a dispute with a customer, the Company established a reserve
against receivables during the fourth quarter of 1993. The Company
resolved the dispute during 1994 and reduced the reserve accordingly.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT
                         PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
TO ANGELICA CORPORATION:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Angelica
Corporation (a Missouri corporation) and subsidiaries as of January 29,
1994 and January 30, 1993, and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years
in the period ended January 29, 1994. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's Management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
  We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by Management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Angelica
Corporation and subsidiaries as of January 29, 1994 and January 30,
1993, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of three years in the period ended January 29, 1994, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.
  As discussed in Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements,
effective February 2, 1992, the Company changed its method of accounting
for income taxes.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS


To Angelica Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Angelica Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Angelica Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
investments and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                          --------------------------


1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
   -------------------

General
- -------

The Angelica Corporation Retirement Savings Plan (the Plan), as amended
and restated, was adopted by the Board of Directors of Angelica
Corporation (the Company) to provide participants an opportunity to defer
portions of their earnings so as to provide supplementary retirement
income and a measure of economic security.  The Company is the Plan
Administrator and the assets of the Plan are held in Trust by Boatmen's
Trust Company (the Trustee).

Eligible Participants
- ---------------------

The participating employers in the Plan are the Company and its
subsidiaries.  All full-time employees who are residents of the United
States and who have either (i) completed one year of service with the
Company and are age 21 or older or (ii) completed three years of service,
are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Investment Programs
- -------------------

The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

     Participants' contributions - Participants may contribute up to 12%
     of their annual compensation to the Plan through payroll deferrals.
     Upon enrollment or reenrollment, each participant shall direct that
     his or her contributions be invested in one or more of the
     investment options below in increments of 10%.  Such direction may
     be revised by participants on a monthly basis.

         Company Stock Fund
           This includes the tax credit and salary deferral funds.  These
           funds are invested in Angelica Corporation Common Stock.

         Mutual Fund
           This fund invested in the Washington Mutual Investors Fund.

         Interest Income Fund
           This fund is invested in group annuity contracts with General
           American Life Insurance Company, IDS Trust Company Collective
           Income Fund, LaSalle National Income Fund Plus and Society
           National Bank MGD GIC Fund.

         Directed Purchase of Life Insurance
           Each participant has the right to direct a portion of his or
           her contributions to purchase insurance for the participant
           life or the lives of his or her spouse and children under age
           23.  Only participants contributing to this fund as of
           October 31, 1989, are allowed to continue contributions in the
           future.

<TABLE>
The number of participants with an account balance in each fund at
December 31, 1993, was as follows:

         <S>                                   <C>
         Company Stock Fund                      403
         Mutual Fund                             412
         Interest Income Fund                  1,958
         Directed Purchase of Life Insurance     175
         PAYSOP                                  740
</TABLE>

The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the sum of the
number of participants shown above because many were participating in
more than one fund.

Employer Contributions
- ----------------------

The Company provides a matching contribution of 1/4 of 1% for each 1% (up
to a maximum of 6%) of the total amount of compensation deferred by the
participant per year; provided that the maximum amount of matching
contribution on behalf of any one participant will be $600.

Under the employee stock ownership arrangement established by the Plan,
the Company has also contributed cash equal to that percentage of the
total annual compensation to all participants and all other employees
eligible to participate in the Plan which was permitted under Section 41
of the Internal Revenue Code as a credit against its income tax.  As a
result of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, however, the Company discontinued
this contribution as of January 31, 1987.  This cash was used by the
Trustee only to acquire common stock of the Company.  The common stock so
acquired was then allocated on a per capita basis among the accounts of
all eligible employees, whether or not they had elected to make salary
deferrals under the Plan.  Common stock of the Company allocated to
participants' accounts pursuant to the employee stock ownership
arrangement is not subject to a participants' investment direction.

Vesting and Distributions
- -------------------------

The salary deferral and company matching contributions of each
participant's account are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.
The Company's tax credit contribution portion of each account became
fully vested when the contribution was allocated to the participants'
accounts upon contribution by the Company.

Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their accounts upon
death, total disability, retirement or termination of employment, or upon
request after reaching age 59-1/2.  Any participants who have suffered a
hardship (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the Plan) may
also withdraw all or any portion of their account balances.  As of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan had $2,442 and $75,657,
respectively, in net assets available for plan benefits that had been
requested to be paid to terminated participants.

Loan Provision
- --------------

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts, subject to
certain limitations.  Such loans made prior to November 1989 bear
interest at a rate equal to the rate being earned by the Interest Income
Fund at the time the loan was made.  Loans made subsequent to October
1989 bear interest at the prime rate plus 1/2% at the time the loan was
made.  All loans must be secured by the participant's account and are
repayable in installments by payroll deductions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   ------------------------------------------

Accounting Principles
- ---------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis.
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined by the
Trustee, based on publicly stated price information.  The "average cost"
method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.

Income Tax Status
- -----------------

The Company has received a determination letter dated March 12, 1986,
from the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan qualifies under
the Internal Revenue Code; as such the Plan is exempt from federal income
tax, and amounts contributed by the Company and its employees are not
taxable to the participants until distributed.  The Plan Administrator
believes that the Plan as amended and as currently operating is in
compliance with all applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

Costs of administering the Plan are generally borne by the Company and
are not charged to the Plan.

Gains and Losses on Sale of Investments
- ---------------------------------------

In compliance with reporting regulations of the Department of Labor, the
Plan calculates the net realized gains and losses on investments sold or
distributed and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments
based on the market value of the assets at the beginning of the Plan year
or at the time of purchase during the year.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

3. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN:
   -----------------------

The Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in the Plan
as of any specified current or future date.

Until the assets held in the Trust have been fully distributed, the
Trustee shall continue to possess all powers with which it was empowered
by the Trust Agreement, and shall have all such other powers as are
necessary or appropriate for the completion of such distribution.

Upon complete termination of the Plan, plan assets are not insured by the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as the Plan is not covered by
Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
In addition, termination of the Plan must be approved by the Internal
Revenue Service.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Angelica Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Angelica Corporation Collinwood 401(K) Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in
net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Angelica Corporation Collinwood 401(K) Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
investments and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

</TABLE>

The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the sum of
the number of participants shown above because some were participating
in more than one fund.

Employer Contributions
- ----------------------

The Company provides a matching contribution of up to five cents for
each hour worked by a participant.

Vesting and Distributions
- -------------------------

The salary deferral and company matching contributions of each
participant's account are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their accounts upon
death, total disability, retirement or termination of employment, or
upon request after reaching age 59-1/2.  Any participants who have
suffered a hardship (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the
Plan) may also withdraw all or any portion of their account balances.
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan had $-0- and $47,
respectively, in net assets available for plan benefits that had been
requested to be paid to terminated participants.

Loan Provision
- --------------

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts, subject to
certain limitations.  Such loans made prior to November 1989 bear
interest at a rate equal to the rate being earned by the Interest
Income Fund at the time the loan was made.  Loans made subsequent to
October 1989 bear interest at the prime rate plus 1/2% at the time the
loan is made.  All loans must be secured by the participant's account,
and are repayable in installments by payroll deductions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   -------------------------------------------

Accounting Principles
- ---------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are maintained on an accrual
basis.  The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined
by the Trustee, based on publicly stated price information.  The
"average cost" method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.
Investments in group annuity contracts are stated at contract value.

Income Tax Status
- -----------------

The Company has received a determination letter dated October 7, 1992,
from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan qualifies under the
Internal Revenue Code; as such the Plan is exempt from federal income
tax, and amounts contributed by the Company and its employees are not
taxable to the participants until distributions from the Plan are made.
The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan as amended and as
currently operating is in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

Costs of administering the Plan are generally borne by the Company and
are not charged to the Plan.

<PAGE> 11


Gain and Losses on Sale of Investments
- --------------------------------------

In compliance with reporting regulations of the Department of Labor,
the Plan calculates the net realized gains and losses on investments
sold or distributed and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments based on the market value of the assets at the beginning of
the Plan year or at the time of purchase during the year.

Reclassifications
- -----------------

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.

3. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN:
   ------------------------
The Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in the
Plan as of any specified current or future date.

Until the assets held in the Trust have been fully distributed, the
Trustee shall continue to possess all powers with which it was
empowered by the Trust Agreement, and shall have all such other powers
as are necessary or appropriate to the completion of such distribution.

Upon complete termination of the Plan, plan assets are not insured by
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as the Plan is not covered by
Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).  In addition, termination of the Plan must be approved by the
Internal Revenue Service.

December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These
financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Angelica Corporation Savannah 401(K) Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
investments and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

The number of participants with an account balance in each fund at
December 31, 1993, was as follows:

</TABLE>

The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the sum of
the number of participants shown above because some were participating
in more than one fund.

Employer Contributions
- ----------------------

The Company provides a matching contribution of up to five cents for
each hour worked by a participant.

Vesting and Distributions
- -------------------------

The salary deferral and company matching contributions of each
participant's account are fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their accounts upon
death, total disability, retirement or termination of employment, or
upon request after reaching age 59-1/2.  Any participants who have
suffered a hardship (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the
Plan) may also withdraw all or any portion of their account balances.

Loan Provision
- --------------

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts, subject to
certain limitations.  Such loans made prior to November 1989 bear
interest at a rate equal to the rate being earned by the Interest Income
Fund at the time the loan was made.  Loans made subsequent to October
1989 bear interest at the prime rate plus 1/2% at the time the loan is
made.  All loans must be secured by the participant's account, and are
repayable in installments by payroll deductions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   -------------------------------------------

Accounting Principles
- ---------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are maintained on an accrual basis.
The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined by the
Trustee, based on publicly stated price information.  The "average cost"
method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.  Investments in
group annuity contracts are stated at contract value.

Income Tax Status
- -----------------

The Company has received a determination letter dated October 6, 1992,
from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan qualifies under the
Internal Revenue Code; as such the Plan is exempt from federal income
tax, and amounts contributed by the Company and its employees are not
taxable to the participants until distributions from the Plan are made.
The Plan Administrator believes that the Plan as amended and as
currently operating is in compliance with all applicable provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

Costs of administering the Plan are generally borne by the Company and
are not charged to the Plan.


                                    -10-
<PAGE> 11


Gains and Losses on Sale of Investments
- ---------------------------------------

In compliance with reporting regulations of the Department of Labor, the
Plan calculates the net realized gains and losses on investments sold or
distributed and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of investments
based on the market value of the assets at the beginning of the Plan
year or at the time of purchase during the year.

3. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN:
   ------------------------

The Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in the
Plan as of any specified current or future date.

Until the assets held in the Trust have been fully distributed, the
Trustee shall continue to possess all powers with which it was empowered
by the Trust Agreement, and shall have all such other powers as are
necessary or appropriate to the completion of such distribution.

Upon complete termination of the Plan, plan assets are not insured by
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as the Plan is not covered by
Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
In addition, termination of the Plan must be approved by the Internal
Revenue Service.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Angelica Corporation:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
plan benefits of the Angelica Corporation Missouri Plants 401(K) Plan
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes
in net assets available for plan benefits for the year ended
December 31, 1993, and the eleven-month period ended December 31,
1992.  These financial statements and the schedules referred to below
are the responsibility of the Plan Administrator.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedules
based on our audits.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Angelica Corporation Missouri Plants 401(K) Plan as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1993, and the eleven-month
period ended December 31, 1992, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of
investments and reportable transactions are presented for purposes of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic financial
statements but are supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the
audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN:
   -------------------

General
- -------

The Angelica Corporation Missouri Plants 401(K) Plan (the Plan) was
adopted by the Board of Directors of Angelica Corporation (the Company)
on January 28, 1992, effective as of February 1, 1992, for participant
eligibility.  The purpose of the Plan is to provide participants an
opportunity to defer portions of their earnings so as to provide
supplementary retirement income and a measure of economic security.
The Company is the Plan Administrator and the assets of the Plan are
held in trust by Boatmen's Trust Company (the Trustee).

Eligible Participants
- ---------------------

The participating employers in the Plan are the Company and its
subsidiaries.  All full-time union employees at the Company's Missouri
Plants who have either (i) completed one year of service with the
Company and are age 21 or older or (ii) completed three years of
service, are eligible to participate in the Plan.

Investment Programs
- -------------------

The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

     Participants' contributions - Participants may contribute up to
     12% of their annual compensation to the Plan through payroll
     deferrals.  Upon enrollment or reenrollment, each participant
     directs his or her contributions be invested in one or more of the
     investment options below in increments of 10%.  Such direction may
     be revised by participants on a monthly basis.

         Company Stock Fund
           This fund is invested in Angelica Corporation Common Stock.

         Mutual Fund
           This fund is invested in the Washington Mutual Investors Fund.

         Interest Income Fund
           This fund is invested in IDS Trust Company Collective Income
           Fund, and Society National Bank MGD GIC Fund.

<TABLE>
The number of participants with an account balance in each fund at
December 31, 1993, was as follows:

         <S>                                     <C>
         Company Stock Fund                       35
         Mutual Fund                              18
         Interest Income Fund                    126
</TABLE>

 The total number of participants in the Plan was less than the sum of
the number of participants shown above because some were participating
in more than one fund.

Vesting and Distributions
- -------------------------

The salary deferral contributions of each participant's account are
fully vested and nonforfeitable at all times.

Participants are entitled to receive the balance of their accounts upon
death, total disability, retirement or termination of employment, or
upon request after reaching age 59-1/2.  Any participants who have
suffered a hardship (as defined by the Internal Revenue Service and the
Plan) may also withdraw all or any portion of their account balances.
As of December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Plan had $57 and $-0-,
respectively, in net assets available for plan benefits that had been
requested to be paid to terminated participants.

Loan Provision
- --------------

The Plan allows participants to borrow from their accounts, subject to
certain limitations.  Loans bear interest at the prime rate plus 1/2%
at the time the loan was made.  All loans must be secured by the
participant's account and are repayable in installments by payroll
deductions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
   ------------------------------------------

Accounting Principles
- ---------------------

The financial statements of the Plan are maintained on an accrual
basis.  The Plan's investments are stated at fair value, as determined
by the Trustee, based upon publicly stated price information.  The
"average cost" method is used to determine the cost of securities sold.

Income Tax Status
- -----------------

The Company has received a determination letter dated October 6, 1992,
from the Internal Revenue Service that the Plan qualifies under the
Internal Revenue Code; as such the Plan is exempt from federal income
tax, and amounts contributed by the employees are not taxable to the
participants until distributions from the Plan are made.  The Plan
Administrator believes that the Plan as amended and as currently
operating is in compliance with all applicable provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------

Costs of administering the Plan are generally borne by the Company and
are not charged to the Plan.

Gains and Losses on Sale of Investments
- ---------------------------------------

In compliance with reporting regulations of the Department of Labor,
the Plan calculates the net realized gains and losses on investments
sold or distributed and unrealized appreciation and depreciation of
investments based on the market value of the assets at the beginning of
the plan year or at the time of purchase during the year.

3. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN:
   -----------------------

The Company reserves the right to terminate its participation in the
Plan as of any specified current or future date.

Until the assets held in the Trust have been fully distributed, the
Trustee shall continue to possess all powers with which it was
empowered by the Trust Agreement, and shall have all such other powers
as are necessary or appropriate to the completion of such distribution.

Upon complete termination of the Plan, plan assets are not insured by
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation as the Plan is not covered by
Title IV of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
(ERISA).  In addition, termination of the Plan must be approved by the
Internal Revenue Service.
