                NOTES TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
                    REPORT FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTER ENDED
                                  March 31, 1996

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, 1995.
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.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding was 4,226,719
    and 4,239,290 in the first three months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                     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 quarter of 1996 primarily due to funding increased
inventories and capital expenditures. The registrant generally produces
additional inventory during this quarter in anticipation of sales volume in
excess of production capabilities during the summer and early fall.

Results of Operations

     The registrant experienced insignificant changes in sales volume and a
moderate increase in sales prices during the first quarter of 1996 as compared
to the first quarter of 1995 resulting in minor changes in net sales and cost
of sales.  Demand for cement and ready-mixed concrete in the registrant's
market area was excellent during both the first quarter of 1996 and the first
quarter of 1995 and is expected to continue during the balance of 1996.
     During 1995, other expense was adversely affected by the settlement of a
disputed contract requiring the purchase of a specified volume of rock for use
in the ready-mixed concrete produced by one of the registrant's subsidiaries. 
This conflict was resolved during the first quarter of 1995 with the payment
of $265,000 plus $39,000 interest.
