                NOTES TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
                    REPORT FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                                September 30, 1995

l.  The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
    the registrant, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
    the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
    disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
    accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
    condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the
    registrant believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the
    information presented not misleading.  The accompanying financial
    statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of
    management, necessary to a fair statement of the results of operations
    for the interim periods presented.  It is suggested that these condensed
    financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements
    and notes thereto included in the registrant's latest annual report on
    Form 10-K.
2.  For a summary of accounting policies, the reader should refer to Note 1
    of the consolidated financial statements included in the registrant's
    annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
3.  The net income per share of capital stock has been calculated based on
    the weighted average shares outstanding during each of the reporting
    periods after giving retroactive effect to a stock dividend of one share
    of Class B capital stock for each share of Capital stock outstanding. 
    The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,239,290 in the
    third quarter and the first nine months of 1995 and 1994.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Liquidity

     The registrant's ability to generate cash adequate to meet its needs has
been derived primarily from operations.  Cash and short term investments
decreased during the first nine months of 1995 primarily due to capital
expenditures and funding increased receivables and inventories. 

Results of Operations

     Adverse weather conditions, which prevailed throughout the registrant's
market area during the first six months of 1995, cleared during the third
quarter of 1995.  As construction projects resumed, sales of cement and ready-
mixed concrete increased.  By the end of the third quarter of 1995, the
registrant's year-to-date net sales surpassed its net sales for the first nine
months of 1994 by 10%.  Net sales for the third quarter of 1995 alone were 34%
greater than 1994 third quarter net sales.  These increases in net sales were
the result of an increase in the volume of cement sold along with moderate
increases in the price of cement and ready-mixed concrete sold. 
     By the beginning of the third quarter of 1995, the modifications to the
registrant's two preheater kilns and the installation of the vibrating grizzly
were substantially complete. These improvements increased the plant's
production capacity and allowed the registrant to eliminate the purchase of
cement and to substantially reduce the purchase of clinker from other market
areas. These cement and clinker purchases, which began in June and September
of 1994, respectively, were at prices above the registrant's production costs
and increased per unit cost of sales primarily during the last quarter of 1994
and the first half of 1995.  
     Operating efficiencies achieved through higher sales volumes, reduction
of costs associated with producing versus purchasing cement and clinker and a
moderate increase in the price of cement and ready-mixed concrete combined to
increase gross profit from operations 67% and 21% for the third quarter and
first nine months of 1995 as compared to similar periods in 1994.  The
registrant's gross profit margin during the third quarter of 1995 was 29%,
which was 25% higher than its gross profit margin for the third quarter of
1994.
     Demand for cement and ready-mixed concrete in the registrant's market
area has been excellent and is expected to continue at high levels for the
balance of 1995 or until adverse weather returns.  The registrant believes its
inventory levels and production capabilities are adequate to fulfill its
customers needs. 
     The increase in other expense was primarily due to the settlement of a
disputed contract during the first quarter of 1995 requiring the purchase of a
specified volume of rock for use in ready-mixed concrete produced by one of
the registrant's subsidiaries.  This conflict was resolved with the payment of
$265,000 plus $39,000 interest.

Seasonality

     The registrant's highest revenue and earnings historically occur in its
second and third fiscal quarters, April through September.
