1.  The statements for the three months ended April 29, 1995
    and April 30, 1994 are unaudited; in the opinion of the
    Company such unaudited statements include all adjustments
    (which comprise only normal recurring accruals) necessary
    for a fair presentation of the results for such periods.
    The consolidated financial statements for the year ending
    January 27, 1996 are subject to adjustment at the end of
    the year when they will be audited by independent
    auditors. The results of operations for the three months
    ended April 29, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
    the results of operations to be expected for the year
    ending January 27, 1996. The consolidated financial
    statements and notes thereto should be read in
    conjunction with the financial statements and notes for
    the years ended in January 1995 and 1994 included in the
    Company's January 28, 1995 Annual Report to the
    Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

2.  The provision for income taxes is based on pre-tax income
    for financial statement purposes with an appropriate
    deferred tax provision to give effect to changes in
    temporary differences between the financial statements
    and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  The temporary
    differences arise principally from postretirement
    benefits, depreciation, and other employee benefits.

3.  Earnings per share are based on the weighted average
    number of shares of common stock outstanding.  The
    weighted average number of shares for earnings per share
    includes the potentially dilutive effect of shares
    issuable under the employee stock purchase and stock
    option plans.  The shares owned by the Company's employee
    stock ownership plan are treated as outstanding for
    purposes of the earnings per share calculation only to
    the extent they have been allocated.

4.  Included in the long-term debt caption on the balance
    sheet are various senior notes. The note agreements
    relating thereto contain provisions which restrict
    borrowings, business investments, acquisition of the
    Company's stock and payment of cash dividends. At April
    29, 1995 the maximum amount available for payment of
    dividends was $6,727.

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          Quarter ended April 29, 1995 compared with
               the quarter ended April 30, 1994
                         (Thousands)

Operations

Consolidated net sales, for the quarter ended April 29, 1995
increased $10,785, over the same quarter a year ago.


Net Sales                       1995       1994     % Change

  Tableware Division:
    Consumer Products........ $ 47,451   $ 42,471      11.7%
    Foodservice..............   32,815     31,816       3.1%
      Total Tableware........   80,266     74,287       8.0%
  Industrial Wire Division...   41,541     36,735      13.1%
      Total.................. $121,807   $111,022       9.7%

All of the Company's divisions reported sales increases, as a
result of a stronger economy. Within the tableware division,
sales were positively impacted by the introduction of well
received new patterns.  Sales of industrial wire were up due
to rising copper costs that were passed along to customers.

Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, was equal to
27.9% for the first quarter of 1995, compared to 26.3% for
the same quarter in 1994.  Adjusted for rising copper prices,
gross margin for the quarter was approximately 30%.  This
improvement reflects a richer product mix in both divisions,
as well as improved efficiencies in all of the Company's
manufacturing facilities.

Operating Expenses             1995       1994     % Change

  Tableware Division......... $22,787    $21,128       7.8%
  Industrial Wire Division...   3,145      3,318      (8.9%)
      Total.................. $25,932    $24,446       6.1%

Operating expenses increased by $1,486 from the same quarter
last year.  Selling and distribution costs increased by $680
while administrative costs increased by $806.  The increase
in selling costs is related to the higher overall sales
level. The increase in administrative costs primarily
reflects higher profit sharing accruals, made in relation to
the increased level of operating profits.

          Quarter ended April 29, 1995 compared with
               the quarter ended April 30, 1994
                         (Thousands)



Interest expense, prior to capitalized interest, was $2,212
for the quarter, an increase of $553 from the first quarter
of 1994.  This increase is the result of higher average
interest rates and debt levels in the current quarter versus
the same period last year. The total debt outstanding
increased $4,969 or 4.4% over the same period last year.  The
additional debt was necessary to finance working capital
needs.




Liquidity & Financial Resources

During the first quarter of this year, the company expended
approximately $4,900 in conjunction with its long-term
capital expansion and modernization program. The company
expects to invest another $15,000 during the remainder of the
current fiscal year.  Included in the planned capital
investments are expenditures of approximately $5,100 related
to a major expansion of the Camden Wire Division.  This four
year project, which will total $24,000, was approved by the
Company's Board of Directors in May of this year.

Management believes that sufficient liquidity to support the
company's future funding requirements will be provided by
cash from future operations as well as the availability of
bank lines of credit.  At April 29, 1995, the Company had
unused credit lines equal to $54,500 and working capital of
$121,680.
