               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      QUARTER ENDED APRIL 29, 1995



(1)  The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements
     are unaudited, and it is suggested that these consolidated
     statements be read in conjunction with the fiscal 1995 Annual
     Report, including Notes to Financial Statements.  However, it
     is the opinion of the Company that all adjustments, consisting
     only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
     statement of the results during the interim period have been
     included.

(2)  See Index to Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules on
     page 1.  Those pages of the Angelica Corporation and
     Subsidiaries Quarterly Report to Shareholders for the quarter
     ended April 29, 1995, listed in such index are incorporated
     herein by reference.  The pages of the Quarterly Report to
     Shareholders which are not listed on the index and therefore
     not incorporated herein by reference are furnished for the
     information of the Commission but are not to be deemed "filed"
     as a part of this report.  The Quarterly Report to
     Shareholders referred to herein is located immediately
     following page 4 of this report.

(3)  For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the
     Company considers short-term, highly liquid investments which
     are readily convertible into cash, as cash equivalents.

     Cash payments for income taxes were $323,000 and $1,016,000 in
     the 1995 and 1994 periods, respectively; and in these periods
     interest payments were $950,000 and $705,000, respectively.

Combined sales and rental service revenues were up 5.8 percent for
the first quarter ended April 29, 1995 over last year's first
quarter, and gross profit was up 4.5 percent.  Revenues of the
Rental Services segment increased 6.3 percent in the first quarter,
with nearly all the increase being the result of acquisitions made
last year.  Continued cost control efforts were not sufficient to
overcome lower margins due to price reductions over the past two
years, resulting in a first quarter gross profit reduction of 1.0
percent for this segment.  First quarter sales of the Manufacturing
and Marketing segment increased 4.8 percent compared with the same
quarter last year, and gross profit increased 11.6 percent.  The
U.S. and United Kingdom portions of this segment had modest sales
increases, while the Canadian operation's sales decreased.  All
three divisions of this segment had better operating results.  Life
Retail Stores had a 3.9 percent increase in sales, resulting from
a 2.7 percent increase in same-store sales together with new volume
from acquisitions made since the first quarter of last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $709,000 or
3.0 percent in the first quarter compared with the same period last
year.  These expenses decreased as a percent of combined sales and
rental service revenues from 20.4 percent to 19.9 percent in the
first quarter.  Interest expense and other expense, net, reflects
increased costs associated with acquisitions made last year.

Financial Condition
- -------------------
The Company had working capital of $154,215,000 and a current ratio
of 3.2 to 1 at April 29, 1995, down from $156,455,000 and 3.6 to 1
a year ago and compared with $150,734,000 and 3.2 to 1 at the
beginning of the year.  The ratio of long-term debt to debt-plus-
equity was 25.9 percent at the close of the first quarter, down
from 26.2 percent at the beginning of the year and 27.3 percent a
year ago.

Operating activities provided a total cash flow of $3,576,000 in
the first quarter compared with $1,216,000 in the first quarter
last year, with most of the difference being due to decreased
requirements for working capital.  Investing activities used
$2,176,000 of cash flow, primarily for capital expenditures.  The
payment of dividends was the principal use of financing activities
cash flow.  No material change in the Company's future aggregate
cash requirements is foreseen at the present time.

Following the close of the quarter, the Company completed a private
placement financing of $30,000,000 with four insurance companies.
The interest rate on the 10-year financing was 8.225 percent, and
all short-term debt incurred over the last two years to help
finance acquisitions has been repaid.

Based on the Company's cash generation from operations, as well as
its strong working capital position, current ratio and ratio of
long-term debt to debt-plus-equity, Management believes that
internal funds available from operations plus external funds
available from the issuance of additional debt and/or equity as
needed in the future, will be sufficient for all planned operating
and capital requirements, including acquisitions.

                      ANGELICA CORPORATION

                                                            May 18, 1995

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to report to you that the first quarter ended April
29, 1995 was the seventh consecutive quarter that earnings exceeded
the comparable prior year period.  Combined sales and rental
service revenues for the first quarter were $123,827,000, up 5.8
percent from $117,055,000 in last year's first quarter.  Excluding
acquisitions made since the first quarter of last year, combined
sales and revenues increased by only a modest 1.0 percent.  Pretax
income of $5,590,000 was up 9.3 percent compared with $5,114,000 in
last year's first quarter, and net income of $3,438,000 also rose
9.3 percent from the $3,145,000 earned in the first quarter last
year.  Net income per share was $.38 versus $.35 in the first
quarter of last year, an increase of 8.6 percent.

Improved first quarter earnings in the Manufacturing and Marketing
segment and Life Retail Stores were partially offset by lower
earnings in the Rental Services segment and increased costs
associated with acquisitions made last year. Overall control of
operating costs continued to be good in the quarter, with those
expenses rising 3.0 percent while combined sales and rental service
revenues rose by a larger 5.8 percent.

First quarter revenues of the Rental Services segment increased 6.3
percent, with nearly all of that increase coming from the Buffalo,
New York and Houston, Texas acquisitions made during last year.
The cumulative effect of price reductions over the past two years
caused a reduction in margins resulting in a decrease in first
quarter earnings for this segment.  Based on our current estimates,
this should be the worst quarter of the year for the Rental
Services segment, and we continue to expect to achieve a slight
earnings increase for the full year.  The continuing emphasis on
cost reduction by our health care customers is negatively affecting
operating results, but as we go forward, we believe this cost-
reduction focus will provide more opportunities for revenue and
earnings improvement.  Our laundry services, together with reusable
textiles and uniforms, offer hospitals opportunities for
significant cost reductions over the methods and procedures being
used today.  We have noted that many more hospitals with on-premise
laundries and hospital co-ops are contacting us for information on
how our contract services can save them money.  We continue to
emphasize our cost reduction capabilities to the health care
community, and expect improved results over the remainder of this
year as well as for many years to come.

Sales of the Manufacturing and Marketing businesses in the first
quarter increased 4.8 percent compared with the same quarter last
year, with almost all of that increase coming from the Marlin
Manufacturing Company acquisition made in the third quarter last
year.  Excluding acquisitions, sales increases in the U.S. and
England were largely offset by lower sales in Canada.   All three
divisions of the Manufacturing and Marketing segment had better
operating results.  In the United States, the Uniform Group had a
modest increase in sales and an excellent increase in earnings.
This earnings increase was a result of a slight improvement in
margins, due to a change in sales mix, combined with operating
costs increasing at a rate less than the sales increase.  Incoming
business during the first quarter was down slightly overall, with
the largest decline coming from the health care market.  Increases
in business from outpatient clinics and nursing homes were offset
by declines in business from acute care hospitals, which constitute
the largest customer group in the health care market segments on
which we call.  We believe the decline in this portion of the
health care market is being caused by the rapid pace of hospital
consolidations, combined with numerous cost reduction actions they
are taking.  During the remainder of this year, we expect to see
business from the health care market improve as compared with the
first quarter.  Both the Canadian operations and the U.K.
operations had improved results in the first quarter due to better
margins combined with good cost

control.  We expect both of these operations to continue to improve
as the year progresses.  We were pleased with the higher earnings of
the Manufacturing and Marketing segment for the first quarter, and
we expect this segment will show continued improvement over the
remainder of this year.

First quarter sales of Life Retail Stores increased 3.9 percent,
with a little over half of that increase coming from acquisitions
made since the first quarter of last year.  Earnings increased at
a significantly more rapid rate than the sales increase.  Although
the same-store sales increase did not achieve the near double-digit
rates that were common last year, we nevertheless had a 2.7 percent
increase compared with last year's first quarter.  Sales of
uniforms to employees of acute care hospitals continued to rise as
many of these hospitals no longer are purchasing uniforms for their
employees.  At the end of the quarter, Life was operating 267
stores compared with 264 at the same time last year.  During the
first quarter, Life purchased two stores and opened one new store.
Life Retail Stores had a very good first quarter, and we look
forward to this segment having continued success throughout this
fiscal year.

Following the close of the quarter, we completed a private
placement financing of $30,000,000 with four insurance companies.
The interest rate on the 10-year financing was 8.225 percent, and
we have repaid all of our short-term bank loans incurred over the
last two years to help finance acquisitions.

On an overall basis, we believe our first quarter performance was
good, but not great.  Results were essentially as we expected them
to be as we entered the new year.  The continuing changes taking
place in the health care market will moderate our opportunity for
significant growth in the near term, but we do expect to see
growth.  We continue to believe that the fundamentals of all of our
businesses remain sound, and we are optimistic about our long-term
performance.  For the remainder of this current year, we presently
believe we will experience good increases in earnings.
