Item 7.  Financial Statements and Exhibits

(a) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS ACQUIRED

The audited consolidated balance sheets of Super Food Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994 and the related
audited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for each of the
three fiscal years in the period ended August 26, 1995, including the
independent public accountant's report thereon, dated October 19, 1995, as
contained in Super Food Services, Inc.'s Form 10-K Annual Report for the
fiscal year ended August 26, 1995, are incorporated by reference herein.

The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of Super Food Services, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of May 4, 1996 and the related unaudited consolidated
statements of income and cash flows for the period ending May 4, 1996, as
contained in Super Food Services, Inc.'s Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the
quarterly period ended May 4, 1996, are incorporated by reference herein.

(b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

In November 1996, Nash Finch Company (the "Company") acquired substantially all
of the outstanding common stock, at $15.50 per share, of Super Food Services,
Inc. ("SFS").  The aggregate cash purchase price paid by the Company was $171
million.  The acquisition will be accounted for as a purchase.

In January 1996, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of 
Military Distributors of Virginia, Inc. ("MDV").  The aggregate purchase 
price paid by the Company consisted of $56.0 million in cash plus the 
assumption of liabilities totaling an additional $54.0 million.  The assets 
acquired included certain real property, leasehold interests in real property 
and equipment, fixed assets, inventory, receivables, supplies and contractual 
rights.  The terms of the acquisition were the result of arm's-length 
negotiations between the parties, and the acquisition was accounted for as a 
purchase.

The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are 
included herein as required by rules of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission ("SEC"). Such pro forma financial statements do not purport to be 
indicative of the results of future combined operations.  The pro forma 
combined financial statements are based upon the historical financial 
statements of the Company, MDV and SFS, and should be read in conjunction 
with those historical financial statements as they appear elsewhere in this 
filing or previous filings with the SEC, as applicable. The historical 
financial information for Nash Finch at December 31, 1995, is derived from 
audited financial statements. All other historical financial information 
presented in these pro forma financial statements is derived from unaudited 
historical financial statements.

The pro forma adjustments are based upon preliminary estimates, available
information and certain assumptions that management deemed appropriate.  Final
purchase accounting adjustments will be made on the basis of appraisals and
evaluations and, therefore, may differ from the pro forma adjustments presented
herein.  However, management does not expect that the final allocation of the
purchase price will materially differ from the amounts presented herein.

The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet was prepared as if the
transactions were consummated as of October 5, 1996.  The unaudited pro forma
combined statements of income for the year ended December 30, 1995 and for the
nine months ended October 5, 1996 assume the acquisitions had been consummated
as of January 1, 1995, the beginning of the fiscal year presented.  The pro
forma statements of income and the balance sheet presented have been adjusted
for the effects of costs, expenses, assets and liabilities which might have been
incurred or assumed had the acquisitions been effected on the dates indicated.


<PAGE>

The pro forma combination of the Company and MDV, and the Company (including
MDV) and SFS has been prepared under the purchase method of accounting.
Therefore, the purchase price for both acquisitions has been allocated based on
the estimated fair values of the identified assets acquired and liabilities
assumed.  The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired
has been recorded as goodwill in the accompanying pro forma financial statements
and amortized over periods of 15 years and 25 years for MDV and SFS,
respectively.

NOTE 1
- ------

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
(amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Super
Food Services, Inc., and subsidiaries (the "Company").  All
significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated.

Fiscal Year

The Company maintains its accounts on a fifty-two/fifty-three week
year.  The Fiscal years ended August 26, 1995, August 27, 1994 and
August 28, 1993 all consisted of fifty-two weeks.

Revenue Recognition

Sales are recorded as products are shipped and services are
rendered.

Merchandise Inventory

The Company uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method of
determining cost for most (75% in 1995 and 76% in 1994) of its
merchandise inventories.  Remaining inventories are valued at the
lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method.  The Company believes that the LIFO method more fairly
presents results of operations by eliminating the inflationary cost
increases from inventory and thereby more appropriately matching
current costs with current revenues.  The effect of using LIFO was
to reduce inventories at August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994 by
$11,869 and $11,120, respectively, and to increase cost of sales by
$750 for 1995 and $144 for 1994 and decrease cost of sales by
$1,436 for 1993.  During Fiscal 1994, the Company liquidated
certain LIFO inventories that were carried at lower costs
prevailing in prior years.  The effect of these liquidations was to
increase earnings before income taxes by $144 or $.01 per share
after tax for 1994.

Property and Equipment

Depreciation and amortization are provided over the estimated
useful lives of the assets or the remaining terms of leases using
the straight-line method.  The rates used are as follows:

Building . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .  . . . .  2% to 5% per annum
Equipment, vehicles and other. . . . .  . .10% to 33 1/3% per annum
Leasehold improvements . . . . . . . . . lesser of estimated useful
                                                 life or lease term
Capitalized leases . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . .lease term

Excess of Purchase Price

For acquisitions subsequent to November 1, 1970, the excess of
purchase price of acquired companies over amounts assigned to net
tangible assets (approximately $2,600) is being amortized over 40
years.  For acquisitions prior to November 1, 1970, the excess
(approximately $1,757) is not being amortized because, in
management's opinion, the value of net assets acquired has not
diminished.

Earnings Per Common Share

Earnings per common share is computed after deducting dividends on
preferred shares and is based on the weighted average number of
common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the year. 
The dilutive effects of unexercised stock options are not material
and, therefore, are not included in earnings per share.

Notes Receivable


The Company has notes receivable from certain of its retailers. 
Generally, these notes require periodic payments of principal and
interest and are secured by certain property, equipment, inventory
and personal guarantees of the retailers.  These notes bear
interest based upon the prime rate.  At August 26, 1995, the
interest rates ranged from 6.00% to 11.00%.  The Company generally
recognizes interest income on these notes as the interest is
collected.  The effective rate of interest collected was 10% and 7%
for 1995 and 1994, respectively.  These notes mature as follows:

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

Segment Information

The Company is engaged in a single line of business, the wholesale
distribution of groceries.  The Company supplies more than 850
allied retail stores in cities of varying sizes in six
predominantly midwestern states.  Although the Company monitors the
creditworthiness of its customers, adjusting credit policies and
limits as needed, a substantial portion of its customers' ability
to discharge amounts owed is dependent upon the retail grocery
economic environment.  Sales to one customer accounted for
approximately 13% of consolidated sales and other income of the
Company during 1995.  The Company does not believe that it is
currently dependent upon any single customer.


Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years' amounts to
make them comparable with the classification of such amounts for
Fiscal 1995.

INCOME TAXES
(amounts in thousands)

During the first quarter of Fiscal 1994, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109),
"Accounting for Income Taxes."  This statement requires deferred tax
recognition for all temporary differences in accordance with the
liability method and requires adjustment of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for enacted changes in tax laws and rates.  Prior to
the implementation of SFAS No. 109, the Company accounted for
income taxes using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11.  As
permitted under SFAS No. 109, prior years' financial statements
have not been restated to reflect the change in accounting method. 
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 as of August 29,
1993 was immaterial.  Additionally, the impact of the new standard
on the provision for income taxes for the year ended August 27,
1994 was immaterial.

DEBT OBLIGATIONS
(amounts in thousands)


Short-Term Credit Facilities

Notes payable to banks of $5,000 at August 26, 1995 consist of two
renewal notes bearing interest of 5.8125% and 6.0875%.

The Company had unused commitments at August 26, 1995 for
short-term borrowings of $59,000 at interest rates up to prime and
on other terms upon which the Company and the banks may agree. 
Average short-term borrowings outstanding during 1995 were $19,299,
with an average interest rate of 6.33%.  The maximum amount
outstanding at any period end was $31,000.  No significant
compensating balances were maintained at August 26, 1995.

Long-Term Debt Obligations

Long-term debt obligations consist of the following:

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

Unsecured Senior Notes


     The Company has $25,000 of 9.20% unsecured senior notes with
three insurance companies due January, 2000.  In 1993, the Company
entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank with a
$15,000 notional amount that expires in October, 1995, which is
accounted for as a hedge, and, accordingly, income or expense
related to the swap is recognized on an accrual basis.  The purpose
of the agreement is to modify the interest rate mix and to reduce
the amount of fixed rate interest the Company is now paying on its
long-term debt.  The effect of this swap was to increase the
Company's effective interest rate on $15,000 of borrowings from
9.20% to 9.96% in Fiscal 1995.

Notes Payable to Banks

     The Company has $30,000 available under revolving credit
agreements with three banks providing for a revolving credit
facility of up to $10,000 each through December, 1995.  At the end
of each year, the agreements may be extended for an additional year
if mutually agreed upon by the Company and the banks.  At the end
of the revolving period, the Company may convert the outstanding
amount into a term loan to be paid in sixteen quarterly
installments.  The Company, at its option, may borrow at prime plus
a spread over "LIBOR" or "CD" based interest rates, or at negotiated
interest rates.  At August 26, 1995, there was $10,000 borrowed
under the revolving credit agreements with interest rate of 6.75%. 
The Company pays a fee on the unused portion of this credit
facility.

Industrial Revenue Bonds

     The Industrial Revenue Bonds are secured by an irrevocable
letter of credit, bear interest at a variable rate equal to 50% of
a base lending rate (4.50% at August 26, 1995) and are subject to
a remarketing agreement under which the marketing agent may adjust
the interest rate within stated limits to facilitate remarketing. 
If the bonds are not remarketed, payment for the bonds redeemed
will be made by drawing upon the letter of credit.  In such event,
the Company has agreed to reimburse the letter of credit bank for
such draw in amounts similar in proportion to the amortization of
the then remaining outstanding principal amount of the bonds. 
Accordingly, the bonds have been classified as long-term debt.  In
July, 1986, the Company entered into a ten-year interest rate
exchange agreement with a bank pursuant to which it pays a 7.21%
fixed rate.  These bonds are being repaid in annual installments of
$800 through 1996.

Loan Covenants

    Certain loan agreements contain various financial
restrictions.  The most restrictive of these require that funded
debt may not exceed 60% of capitalization of the Company.  The
agreements also contain certain other restrictions with respect to
additional borrowings, commitments and guarantees.

FLORIDA DIVISION CLOSING
(amounts in thousands except per share amounts)

In the third quarter of 1992, the Company recorded a special pretax
charge of $22,986 in connection with the closing of the Company's
Florida Division and the disposition of its assets.  The closing
was required as a result of the loss by the Florida Division of its
single largest customer, Albertson's, which accounted for
approximately 85% of its sales.  This charge included provisions
primarily for losses incurred on the disposition of the inventory
and fixed assets, the estimated portion of the remaining lease
obligations and the related operating costs necessary to maintain
the Florida warehouse facilities until tenants could be found,


                                          16

<PAGE>

litigation costs in connection with the Company's lawsuit against
Albertson's and other costs relating to the closing.  The Company's
contract claims against Albertson's were dismissed by the Circuit
Court of Orange County, Florida in March, 1994 and the 5th District
Court of Appeals of the State of Florida on January 3, 1995
affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court.  The Company's motion
for a rehearing and/or clarification or certification was denied. 
The remaining Florida closing liabilities at August 26, 1995
relates primarily to employee benefit costs.

NOTE 5

PREFERRED SHARE PURCHASE RIGHTS PLAN

On January 27, 1989, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
dividend of one Preferred Share Purchase Right (Right) on each
outstanding Common Share of the Company.  A Right will be issued
with each Common Share of the Company that becomes outstanding
prior to the time the Rights become exercisable or expire.  Under
certain conditions, each Right may be exercised to purchase one
one-hundredth share of a new series of Junior Participating
Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $100.  The Rights may not
be exercised until ten days after (i) a public announcement that a
person or group acquired or obtained the right to acquire 20% or
more of the Company's Common Shares or (ii) commencement or public
announcement of an offer for 20% or more of the Company's Common
Shares.  These Rights may cause substantial ownership dilution to
a person or group who attempts to acquire the Company without
approval of the Company's Board of Directors.

The Rights, which do not have any voting privileges, expire on
January 26, 1999, and may be redeemed by the Company at a price of
$0.02 per Right at any time prior to a person's or group's
acquisition of 20% or more of the Company's Common Shares.  The
preferred stock that may be purchased upon exercise of the Rights
may not be redeemed and may be subordinate to other series of the
Company's preferred stock designated in the future.

In the event that the Company is acquired in a merger or other
business combination transaction, provision will be made so that
each holder of a Right will be entitled to buy the number of Common
Shares of the surviving company, which at the time of such
transaction would have a market value of two times the exercise
price of the Right.  In the event that any person or group owning
20% or more of the Common Shares of the Company (except pursuant to
an offer for all outstanding Common Shares that the independent
directors determine to be fair to and in the best interests of the
Company and its shareholders) combines the Company in a merger in
which the Company survives and its Common Shares are not changed,
each holder of a Right (except rights held by the 20% owner) will
be entitled to buy the number of Common Shares of the Company which
at the time of the transaction have a value equal to two times the
exercise price of the Right.

INCENTIVE PLANS

Stock Option Plan

The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan (the 1986 Plan) permits the
granting of incentive options, non-qualified options and/or stock
appreciation rights to executive and key employees of the Company. 
The option price of the incentive options may not be less than 100%
of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  The
option price of the non-qualified options may not be less than 85%
of the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  The
number of Common Shares which may be granted under the 1986 Plan
may not exceed 300,000 after adjustment for the anti-dilution
provisions of the Plan.  At August 26, 1995, incentive options for
197,277 Common Shares have been granted under the 1986 Plan and
67,672 Common Shares were available for grant.  The options
outstanding are for a term of ten years and are exercisable in
installments ranging from 10% to 25% per year on a cumulative basis
beginning one year from the date of grant.

Following is a summary of activity for the last three Fiscal years.

<PAGE>

recipient's employment is terminated prior to the end of the
restricted period, except in the event of the death or disability
of a recipient when a prorated number of shares will be issued
based on the number of full months of employment.  A recipient who
retires during the restricted period will receive the full number
of shares allocated under the Plan.  During the restricted period,
the recipient has the right to vote such shares and receive all
dividends payable thereon.  At August 26, 1995, there were no
awards of restricted stock outstanding.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

At August 26, 1995, 471,928 Common Shares are reserved under the

negotiated union contracts and generally are based on the number of
hours worked.  The Company does not have the information available
to determine its share of the accumulated plan benefits or net
assets available for benefits under the multi-employer plans.

Other Retirement Plans

The Company has adopted a non-qualified supplemental executive
retirement plan which is available to certain officers designated
as participants by the Board of Directors and provides for
retirement benefits that participants would be entitled to receive
under the qualified retirement plan were it not for limitations
imposed by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act and
federal tax law.  Benefits under the non-qualified plan are payable
to the participants and their spouses in the same manner and at the
same time as benefits are payable under the Company's qualified
retirement plan.  These benefits aggregated approximately $2
million and $1.3 million at August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994,
respectively.  The Company has established a grantor trust to
provide funding for the benefits payable under the non-qualified
plan.  The trust is irrevocable and, with certain exceptions, the
assets contributed to the trust can only be used to pay such
benefits.

The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan for eligible employees. 
This 401(k) plan is designed to encourage eligible employees to
save and invest regularly.  All employee contributions are
voluntary and no contributions are made by the Company.

Pension and Retirement Plan Expense

Aggregate cost for the Company's retirement plans includes the

Early Retiree Health Care Benefits

The Company provides early retiree health care benefits to certain
employees who retire from the Company after January 1, 1989.  These
early retirees generally must have attained age 55 with 15 years of
continuous service to be eligible for health care benefits.  These
benefits are subject to deductibles, copayment provisions and other
limitations.  Generally, company-provided health care benefits
terminate when covered individuals become eligible for Medicare
benefits or reach age 65, whichever comes first.  The Company
reserves the right to change or terminate the benefits at any time. 
In addition, certain union employees of the Company will continue
to be covered by collectively bargained multi-employer plans. 
Costs under these union plans are recognized as expense when paid.

The Company adopted the new method of accounting for
post-retirement benefits (Financial Accounting Standards No. 106)
effective August 29, 1993.  This new standard requires that the
expected cost of these benefits be charged to expense during the
years that the employees render service.  Prior to Fiscal 1994, all
early retiree health care benefit costs were recognized as expense
when paid and amounted to $202 in 1993.  The Company has chosen to
amortize the Accumulated Post-retirement Benefit Obligation (APBO)
over 20 years on a straight-line basis, which approximates the
average remaining service life of the participants.  The Company
has determined its SFAS No. 106 liability utilizing an outside
actuary and the current provisions of such plans.  These plans are
unfunded.  The Company's APBO at August 29, 1995 and August 27,
1994 was approximately $2.1 million and $2.5 million (pre-tax),
respectively, and was based upon the following key assumptions.


                                          19

<PAGE>

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted average
discount rate:                8%

Retirement rates:             Varies from 2% to 5% per year
                              between Ages 55 through 61.

                              Increases up to 10% to 25% per
                              year between Ages 62 through 64.

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Health care costs
trend rates:                  8.5% for Fiscal 1995 and decreasing
                              ratably to 4.5% by Fiscal 2003.

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

A one percentage point change in the assumed health care costs
trend rate would change the APBO by approximately $300.

The Company's net periodic post-retirement benefit cost during 1995
includes the following:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
                                        1995           1994

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost (benefits earned
  during the period)                    $ 70           $ 89
Interest cost on APBO                    163            188
Amortization of APBO                      97            127

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Net periodic post-retirement
  benefit cost                          $330           $404

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

In addition, the Company offers inactive employees other benefits
prior to retirement.  Management does not believe that such
benefits are material to the Company's financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

LEASES:
(amounts in thousands)

The Company leases the majority of its operating facilities and a
portion of its computers and warehouse equipment under leases
varying in terms of up to 30 years.  The Company also leases retail
store locations which it in turn subleases to certain of its retail
customers.  Most of the subleases contain provisions calling for
additional percentage rentals based on sales.

In addition, the Company leases a portion of the delivery equipment
used in its operations.  Some of the leases may be cancelled on any
anniversary date of the delivery of the equipment upon 120 days
prior notice; however, the Company may be required to acquire the
vehicle at its initial cost less accumulated depreciation, as
defined.  The annual rents are generally based on a flat charge
plus a fixed fee per mile for operating and maintenance costs.

Following is a summary of property and equipment under leases that
have been capitalized and included in the accompanying balance
sheets:

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES:
(amounts in thousands)

During the Fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993, the Company paid
$2,347, $2,284 and $2,999, respectively, to an insurance firm for
insurance premiums on various forms of coverage.  The Chairman of
the Board of the Company was a shareholder of said firm.  In Fiscal
1995, the Chairman sold his stock interest and he no longer is a
shareholder of said firm.  The above transactions were made in the
ordinary course of business and, in the opinion of the Company's
management, were at rates as favorable to the Company as could be
obtained from unrelated parties for comparable coverage.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES:
(amounts in thousands)

The Company is a defendant in various legal proceedings arising out
of the  conduct of business.  While the ultimate outcome of these
lawsuits cannot be determined at this time, management is of the
opinion that any liability, to the extent not provided for through
insurance or otherwise, would not have a material adverse effect on
the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of building leases for
certain customers.  The future minimum rentals aggregate
approximately $4,636, with expiration dates beginning in 1995
through 2009.  Certain of these leases also contain provisions for
contingent rentals and options to extend, which the Company has
also guaranteed.

The Company has also guaranteed the payment of principal and
interest on  notes of certain customers payable to banks.  The
principal amount guaranteed is approximately $2,159 as of August
26, 1995.  The guarantee agreements expire beginning in Fiscal 1996
through 2000.  The Company has determined that it is not practical
to estimate the fair value of either of the above guarantees.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
(amounts in thousands)

    The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate
the fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

    Cash, trade and supplier receivables, accounts payable and
notes payable to bank:  The carrying amount of these items
approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.

    Notes receivable from retailers:  The carrying amount
approximates fair value as the receivables bear interest at a
variable market rate which adjusts quarterly.

    Long-term debt obligations:  The fair value of long-term debt 
obligations (excluding capital leases) is estimated using
discounted cash flow analyses based on the current incremental
borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

    The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's
long-term obligations at August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994 are as
follows:

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
                                            1995         1994

- -----------------------------------------------------------------
Carrying amount                           $35,800      $34,529
Fair value                                $38,087      $36,109

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

Interest Rate Swap Agreement:  The estimated fair value of the
interest rate swap with a $15,000 notional value, based on a
financial institution's valuation model, at August 26, 1995 was a
payable of approximately $161, which is accrued at August 26, 1995.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTS:

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Super Food Services,
Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
Super Food Services, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries
as of August 26, 1995 and August 27, 1994, and the related
consolidated statements of income, cash flows and shareholders'
equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended
August 26, 1995.  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 Super
Food Services, Inc. and subsidiaries as of August 26, 1995 and
August 27, 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash
flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended August
26, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 7 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements, effective August 29, 1993, the Company changed its
method of accounting for income taxes and changed its method of
accounting for post-retirement benefits other than pensions.

            Super Food Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries

            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements


1.       Financial Statements -

         The condensed financial statements included herein have been
         prepared by the Company, 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 Company
         believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the informa-
         tion presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
         condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the
         financial statements and the notes thereto included in the
         Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K.


2.       Accounting Policies -

         The interim financial information presented in this report has
         been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies
         described in the Notes to the Company's financial statements
         filed on the most recent Form 10-K.  While management believes
         that the procedures followed in the preparation of interim
         information are reasonable, the accuracy of some estimated
         amounts is dependent upon facts that will exist or calculations
         that will be accomplished later in the fiscal year.  Examples
         of such estimates (none individually significant) include
         unpaid expenses not invoiced and pension costs.  In addition,
         an amount is expensed ratably for possible inventory shrinkage
         (based on prior experience and is adjusted to actual twice
         during the fiscal year) and to adjust the LIFO reserve (based
         upon the Company's best estimate of inflation to date).

         The information included in this Form 10-Q reflects all adjust-
         ments which are of a normal recurring nature and, in the
         opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the
         results of operations for the period presented.


3.       Reclassifications -

         Certain reclassifications have been made to prior years'
