ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
        AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

I. Results of Operations:
          Quarter ended October 29, 1994 compared to quarter ended 
          October 30, 1993.

          Sales for the first quarter of 1995 increased 12% over the 
          first quarter of 1994.  If foreign exchange rates had remained
          unchanged relative to the first quarter of 1994, sales would
          have increased by 8 1/2%, all of which is attributable to
          unit growth.

          The Company's pre-tax margin increased to 11.9% of sales in
          the first quarter of 1995 from 10.8% in the 1994 period.  A
          decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
          percentage of sales to 42.2% in the 1995 period, from 43.1% 
          in the 1994 period, was the principal factor in the improved 
          pre-tax margin.

          The Company's effective tax rate increased to 30.0% in the
          first quarter of 1995 from 28.0% in the 1994 period, such 
          increase resulting mainly from reduced benefits of the Puerto
          Rico operations due to changes in the U.S. tax laws.

          Prior to the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting 
          principle, net earnings for the first quarter of fiscal 1995
          increased 20% to $13.3 million from $11.1 million in the prior
          year period.

          In the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company adopted 
          Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 112 
          (Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits).  The 
          effect of initially applying this Statement ($1,200,000 pre-
          tax, $780,000 after taxes, 1 cent per share) is reported as 
          the cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle.

II. Liquidity and Capital Resources:
          The Company's working capital increased by $5.6 million
          during the first quarter of fiscal 1995.  Had foreign exchange
          rates not changed from July 30, 1994, working capital would 
          have declined by $1.7 million.

          Capital expenditures totalled $14.3 million, and depreciation
          expense totalled $10.1 million, in the quarter ended
          October 29, 1994.

          On November 15, 1994, the Company announced that it reached
          an agreement in principle to acquire Filtron Technology 
          Corporation.  The transaction, valued at a revised price of 
          $27.65 million, is subject to certain conditions, and is 
          expected to be completed by the end of the Company's second
          quarter.
