NEW STORES AND EXPANSION STRATEGY

     The most important factors considered by the Company when deciding to
open new stores are the population density of the target area and the
automotive traffic count at the site of the proposed store.  The most
important factors considered by the Company when deciding whether to close a
store are profitability and whether the store is outmoded by virtue of store
size, location and surroundings, number of service bays, number of other
stores within the same market area and the cost/benefit of establishing a
replacement store rather than expanding or otherwise upgrading an older
store.

     The Company introduced a new supplemental store format in fiscal 1994,
which operates under the name PARTS USA.  At the end of fiscal 1995, the
Company operated 31 PARTS USA stores.  This store format carries
over 22,000 stock-keeping units, excludes tires, and does not have service bays
("SUPERCENTERS" carry approximately 26,000 stock-keeping units).  PARTS USA 
stores are generally located in certain urban areas and areas located between 
"SUPERCENTERS."  The Company believes the utilization of this secondary format 
will enable it to grow at a faster rate and achieve greater economies of scale 
by providing more retail outlets as well as increase its market penetration and 
share.  

     In 1996, a new PARTS USA prototype will average approximately 8,000
square feet and a new "SUPERCENTER" prototype will average approximately 19,500 
square feet. While the overall size of both formats will be reduced, the number 
of stock-keeping units offered in each format will not decrease.  The Company
expects to open approximately 100 new stores in 1996: 50 PARTS USA stores
and 50 "SUPERCENTERS", all of which are expected to be in existing markets. 
If all 100 stores are opened, the Company anticipates spending approximately
$177,000,000 in addition to the $10,223,000 it had already spent as of
February 3, 1996 in connection with certain of these locations.  Funds
required to finance this expansion are expected to come primarily from
operating activities with the remainder provided by unused lines of credit
or from accessing traditional lending sources which may include the public
capital markets.

     During fiscal 1995, the Company opened 46 "SUPERCENTERS", all of which
include service bays, and 29 PARTS USA stores. Four units were closed, two of
which were replaced by PARTS USA stores and two of which were replaced by new
"SUPERCENTERS."   

     The Company's ability to meet its expansion goals will depend, in large 
measure, upon the availability of suitable sites, prevailing economic conditions
, its success in completing negotiations to purchase or lease properties, and
its ability to obtain governmental approvals and meet construction deadlines.

MERCHANDISING

     Each Pep Boys' automotive "SUPERCENTER" and PARTS USA store carries the
same basic product line, with variations based on the number and type of
cars registered in the different markets.  A full complement of a SUPERCENTER
and a PARTS USA store's inventory currently includes approximately 26,000 and
22,000 items, respectively.  The Company's automotive product line includes:
tires (not included in PARTS USA stores); batteries; new and rebuilt parts for
domestic and imported cars, including suspension parts, ignition parts,
mufflers, engines and engine parts, oil and air filters, belts, hoses,
air conditioning parts, and brake parts; chemicals, including oil, antifreeze,
polishes, additives, cleansers and paints; mobile electronics, including
sound systems, alarms and cellular telephones; car accessories, including
seat covers, floor mats, gauges, mirrors and booster cables; and a large
selection of truck and van accessories.

     In addition to offering a wide variety of high quality, branded
products, the Company sells an array of high quality products under the Pep
Boys and various other private label names.   The Company sells oil,
transmission fluid, chemicals, and paints under the Pep Boys name. The
Company sells antifreeze under the name PURE AS GOLD(R).  The Company sells
starters and alternators under the name PRO-START(R), water pumps under the
name PRO-COOL(tm) and batteries under the name PROSTART(R). Brakes are sold 
under the names SHUR GRIP(R), PROSTOP(tm) and ELITE(tm) and tires under the 
names CORNELL(R) and FUTURA(R).  The Company also sells shock absorbers under
the name "ProRyder", and trunk and hatchback lift supports under the name
PROLIFT(tm).  All products sold by the Company under the Pep Boys and various
other private label names accounted for approximately 25.2% of the Company's
merchandise sales in fiscal 1995.  The remaining merchandise is sold under the
brand names of others. Except for revenues from maintaining or repairing
automobiles and installing products, which accounted for approximately 13.3%,
13.9% and 15.0% of the Company's total revenues in fiscal years 1993, 1994 and 
1995, respectively, no class of products or services accounted for as much as
10% of the Company's total revenues.

     The Company has a point-of-sale system in all of its stores which
gathers sales and gross profit data by stock-keeping unit from each store on
a daily basis.  This information is then used by the Company to help
formulate its pricing, marketing and merchandising strategies.

     The Company has an electronic work order system in all of its service
centers.  This system creates a service history for each vehicle, provides
customers with a comprehensive, professional sales document and has enabled
the Company to establish a service customer database. 

     The Company uses an "Everyday Low Price" (EDLP) strategy in
establishing its selling prices.  Management believes that EDLP provides
better value to its customers on a day-to-day basis, helps level customer
demand and allows more efficient management of inventories.

     The Company uses various forms of advertising to promote its category
dominant product offering, its state-of-the-art automotive service and
repair capabilities and its commitment to customer service and satisfaction. 
The Company's advertising vehicles include, but are not limited to,
multipage catalogs, television and radio commercials and in-store
promotions.  A large portion of the gross cost of the advertising directed
by the Company is customarily borne by the suppliers of the products
advertised.  

     In fiscal 1995, approximately 67% of the Company's total revenues were
cash transactions (including personal checks), and the remainder were credit
and charge card sales.

     The Company does not experience significant seasonal fluctuation in the
generation of its revenues.

STORE OPERATIONS AND MANAGEMENT

     All Pep Boys' stores are open seven days a week.  Each "SUPERCENTER" 
has a manager, a service manager, a parts manager and two or more assistant
managers.  Each PARTS USA store has a manager, a parts manager and two or more
assistant managers.  A store manager's average length of service with the 
Company is approximately seven years.

     The Company has service bays in 469 of its 506 locations.  Each service
department can perform a variety of services which include: engine tune-ups,
wheel alignments, state inspections, air conditioning service; the repair
and installation of parts and accessories including brake parts, suspension
parts, exhaust systems, front end parts, ignition parts, belts, hoses,
clutches, filters, radios, alarms, sun roofs, cruise controls, and various
other merchandise sold in Pep Boys' stores; installation and balancing of
tires, and oil and lubrication services.

     The Company coordinates the operation and merchandising of each store
through a network of district and regional managers.  The regional managers
report to one of three Vice Presidents - Store Operations who report to the
Company's Senior Vice President - Store Operations who reports to the
Company's Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer.  Supervision and
control over the individual stores are facilitated by means of the Company's 
computer system, operational handbooks and regular visits to the individual 
stores by the district operations managers and loss prevention personnel.

     All of the Company's advertising, accounting, management information
systems, purchasing and most administrative functions are conducted at its
corporate headquarters in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  Certain
administrative functions for the Company's western, southwestern, southeastern 
and Puerto Rico operations are performed at various regional offices of the
Company.  See "Properties."

INVENTORY CONTROL AND DISTRIBUTION

     Almost all of the Company's merchandise is distributed to its stores
from its warehouses by Company-owned or leased trucks.  Target levels of
inventory for each product have been established for each of the Company's
warehouses and stores and are based upon prior shipment history, sales
trends and seasonal demand.  Inventory on hand is compared to the target
levels on a weekly basis at each warehouse.  If the inventory on hand at a
warehouse is below the target levels, the Company's buyers order merchandise
from its suppliers.

     Each Pep Boys store has an automatic inventory replenishment system
that automatically orders additional inventory when a store's inventory on
hand falls below the target level. In addition, the Company's centralized
buying system, coupled with continued advancement in its warehouse and 
distribution systems has greatly enhanced the Company's ability to control
its inventory.  

SUPPLIERS

     During fiscal 1995, the Company's ten largest suppliers accounted for
approximately 33% of the merchandise purchased by the Company.  No single
supplier accounted for more than 8% of the Company's purchases.  The Company
has no long-term contracts for the purchase of merchandise. Management
believes that the relationships the Company has established with its
suppliers are generally good.

     In the past, the Company has not experienced difficulty in obtaining
satisfactory sources of supply and believes that adequate alternative
sources of supply exist, at substantially similar cost, for virtually all
types of merchandise sold in its stores.
<PAGE>
COMPETITION

     The business of the Company is generally highly competitive.  The
Company encounters competition from nationwide and regional chains and from
local independent merchants.  Some of the Company's competitors are general,
full range, discount or traditional department stores which carry automotive
parts and accessories and/or have automotive service centers, and others,
similar to the Company, are specialized automotive service retailers. 
Certain of its competitors are larger in terms of sales volume, store size,
and/or number of stores, have access to greater capital and management resources
and have been operating longer in particular geographic areas than the Company.

     Although the Company's competition varies by geographical area, the
Company believes that it generally has a favorable competitive position in
terms of depth and breadth of product line, price, quality of personnel and
customer service.

     In addition, the Company believes that its operation of service bays in
its "SUPERCENTERS'" automotive service centers positively differentiates it
from most of its competitors.  The Company believes that the warranty
policies in connection with the higher priced items it sells, such as tires,
batteries, brake linings and other major automotive parts and accessories,
are comparable or superior to those of its competitors.

<PAGE>
FISCAL 1995 vs. FISCAL 1994

     Total revenues for fiscal 1995, which included 53 weeks, increased 13%
over fiscal 1994 due to a higher store count (506 at February 3, 1996 compared
with 435 at January 28, 1995).  Comparable store revenues (revenues generated
by stores in operation during the same months of each period) increased 1%. 
Total revenues for fiscal 1995, excluding the extra week, increased 11% on an
overall basis and were unchanged on a comparable store basis. Comparable store
merchandise sales decreased 1% while comparable store service revenue increased
7% over fiscal 1994 on a 52 week basis.

     The increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was due primarily to higher merchandise margins offset, in
part, by increases in store occupancy and warehousing costs.  

     The increase in gross profit from service revenue, as a percentage of
service revenue, was due primarily to decreases in service payroll and service
center occupancy costs.

     The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to increases in store, general
office and employee benefits expenses offset, in part, by a decrease in media
costs.

     The 24% increase in interest expense was due to higher debt levels
incurred during the year to fund the Company's store expansion program coupled
with higher interest rates.

     The 2% increase in earnings before the cumulative effect of a change
in accounting principle in fiscal 1995, as compared with fiscal 1994, was due
primarily to an increase in total revenues due to a higher store count, and
increases in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, and gross profit from service revenue, as a percentage of
service revenue, mostly offset by increases in selling, general and
administrative expenses and interest expense, as a percentage of total
revenues.

FISCAL 1994 vs. FISCAL 1993

     Total revenues for fiscal 1994 increased 13% over fiscal 1993 due to a
higher store count (435 at January 28, 1995 compared with 386 at January 29,
1994) coupled with a 5% increase in comparable store revenues (revenues
generated by stores in operation during the same months of each period). 
Comparable store merchandise sales increased 5% while comparable store service
revenue increased 8% over fiscal 1993.

     The increase in gross profit from merchandise sales, as a percentage of
merchandise sales, was due primarily to significantly higher merchandise
margins and a slight decrease in store occupancy costs.  

     The small decrease in gross profit from service revenue, as a percentage
of service revenue, was due primarily to an increase in service payroll costs,
offset, in part, by a decrease in service employee benefits costs.

     The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of total revenues, was due primarily to an increase in store
expenses, offset, in part, by a decrease in employee benefits costs.  

     The 32% increase in interest expense was due to higher debt levels
incurred to fund the Company's store expansion program coupled with higher
interest rates.

     The 22% increase in earnings before the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle in fiscal 1994, as compared with fiscal 1993, was due to
increases in comparable store revenues and gross profit from merchandise sales,
as a percentage of merchandise sales, offset, in part, by increases in selling,
general and administrative expenses and interest expense, as a percentage of
total revenues.

EFFECTS OF INFLATION

     The Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation.  Thus, the cost
of merchandise sold approximates current cost. Although the Company cannot
accurately determine the precise effect of inflation on its operations, it does
not believe inflation has had a material effect on revenues or results of
operations during fiscal 1995, fiscal 1994 or fiscal 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's cash requirements arise principally from the need to finance
the acquisition, construction and equipping of new stores and to purchase
inventory.  The Company opened 75 stores in fiscal 1995, 51 stores in fiscal
1994 and 37 stores in fiscal 1993.  In fiscal 1995, with an increase in cash
from operating activities, the Company decreased its debt by $22,507,000.  In
fiscal 1994, with increased levels of capital expenditures, coupled with cash
utilized to purchase its stock for transfer to the flexible employee benefits
trust (established on April 29, 1994 to fund a portion of the Company's
obligations arising from various employee compensation and benefit plans), the
Company increased its debt by $182,859,000.  In fiscal 1993, with increased
levels of capital expenditures coupled with cash utilized to purchase its stock
for transfer to the benefits trust, the Company increased its debt by
$77,525,000.

</TABLE>

     Inventories have increased in the past three years as the Company added a
net of 149 stores while stock-keeping units per store rose during the period
from approximately 24,000 to approximately 26,000, many of which are higher
cost hard parts.

     The Company currently plans to open approximately 100 new stores in fiscal
1996.  Management estimates that the cost to open all 100 stores, coupled with
capital expenditures relating to existing stores, warehouses and offices during
fiscal 1996, will be approximately $200,000,000.  In addition to the funds
required to finance the Company's store expansion, the Company has $107,040,000
in debt that matures on April 15, 1996.  Funds required to finance the store
expansion, including related inventory requirements, and to repay the debt
maturing on April 15, 1996 are expected to come from operating activities, with
the remainder provided by unused lines of credit which totalled $249,500,000 at
February 3, 1996, or from accessing traditional lending sources which may
include the public capital markets.

     On August 25, 1994, the Company sold $86,250,000 of 4% convertible
subordinated notes due September 1, 1999.  Proceeds were used to repay portions
of the Company's short-term variable rate bank debt.

     On April 21, 1995, the Company amended and restated a revolving credit
agreement with several major banks to increase the amount of borrowings
provided from up to $100,000,000 to up to $200,000,000.

     On June 12, 1995, the Company sold $100,000,000 of 7% Notes due June 1,
2005.  Proceeds were used to repay portions of the Company's long-term variable
rate bank debt, and for general corporate purposes.

     The Company's working capital decreased to $39,868,000 at February 3, 1996
from $121,858,000 at January 28, 1995.  The Company's long-term debt decreased,
as a percentage of its total capitalization, to 36% at February 3, 1996 from
39% at January 28, 1995.

FUTURE ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," will be adopted by the Company in fiscal
year 1996 as required by this statement.  This statement requires that long-
lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used by an
entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Also, in
general, long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be disposed
of should be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost
to sell.  The impact of this new standard is not expected to have a material
effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," will be adopted
by the Company in fiscal year 1996 as required by this statement.  The Company
has elected to continue to measure such compensation expense using the method
prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock
Issued to Employees," as permitted by SFAS No. 123.  When adopted, SFAS No. 123
will not have any effect on the Company's financial position or results of
operations, but will require the Company to provide expanded disclosure
regarding its stock-based employee compensation plans.

ITEM 8   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA




INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack


     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of 
The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe & Jack and subsidiaries as of February 3, 1996
and January 28, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of earnings,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended February 3, 1996.  Our audits also include the financial statement
schedule listed in the index at Item 14.  These financial statements and the
financial statement schedule 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of The Pep Boys - Manny, Moe &
Jack and subsidiaries at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended February 3, 1996 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.  Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when 
considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a
whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth 
therein.

     As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, in 1994
the Company changed its method of accounting for postemployment benefits to
conform with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112.

THE PEP BOYS- MANNY, MOE & JACK AND SUBSIDIARIES 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    

Years ended February 3, 1996, January 28, 1995 and  January 29, 1994 
(dollar amounts in thousands, except per share amounts)


NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS  The Pep Boys-Manny, Moe & Jack and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is
engaged principally in the retail sale of automotive parts and accessories,
automotive maintenance and service and the installation of parts through a
chain of 506 stores at February 3, 1996.  The Company currently operates stores
in 33 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.

FISCAL YEAR END  The Company's fiscal year ends on the Saturday nearest to
January 31.  Fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993 were comprised of 53 weeks, 52
weeks and 52 weeks, respectively.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION  The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
necessarily requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

MERCHANDISE INVENTORIES  Merchandise inventories are valued at the lower of
cost (last-in, first-out method) or market.  If the first-in, first-out method
of valuing inventories had been used, inventories would have been approximately
$10,491 and $15,319 higher at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995,
respectively.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT  Property and equipment are recorded at cost. 
Depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over
the following estimated useful lives:  building and improvements, 5 1/2 to 40
years; furniture, fixtures and equipment, 3 to 10 years.

CAPITALIZED INTEREST  Interest on borrowed funds is capitalized in connection
with the construction of certain long-term assets.  Capitalized interest
amounted to $1,407, $1,850 and $1,254 in fiscal years 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.

SERVICE REVENUE  Service revenue consists of the labor charge for installing
merchandise or maintaining or repairing vehicles, excluding the sale of any
installed parts or materials.

COSTS OF REVENUES  Costs of merchandise sales include the cost of products
sold, buying, warehousing and store occupancy costs.  Costs of service revenue
include service center payroll and related employee benefits and service center
occupancy costs.  Occupancy costs include utilities, rents, real estate and
property taxes, repairs and maintenance and depreciation and amortization
expenses.

PENSION EXPENSE  Annual pension expense is actuarially computed using the
"projected unit credit method" which attributes an equal portion of total
projected benefits to each year of employee service.  

INCOME TAXES  The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income
taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."   Under
the liability method, deferred income taxes are determined based upon enacted
tax laws and rates applied to the differences between the financial statement
and tax basis of assets and liabilities.  

ADVERTISING  The Company expenses the production costs of advertising the first
time the advertising takes place.  No advertising costs were reported as an
asset as of February 3, 1996.  Net advertising expense for fiscal years 1995,
1994 and 1993 was $973, $2,999 and $2,665, respectively.

POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS  Effective January 30, 1994 the Company adopted SFAS
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  This statement
establishes accrual accounting standards for employer-provided benefits which
cover former or inactive employees after employment, but before retirement. As
a result of adopting this standard, the Company recognized a charge to earnings
in fiscal 1994 of $4,300, net of income tax benefit of $2,552.

IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS  SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of," is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.  This statement requires
that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to be held and used
by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable.  Also, in general, long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles to be disposed of should be reported at the lower of carrying
amount or fair value less cost to sell.  The impact of this new standard is not
expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.

ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-
Based Compensation," will be adopted by the Company in fiscal year 1996 as
required by this statement.  The Company has elected to continue to measure
such compensation expense using the method prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," as permitted
by SFAS No. 123.  When adopted, SFAS No. 123 will not have any effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations, but will require the
Company to provide expanded disclosure regarding its stock-based employee
compensation plans.

RECLASSIFICATIONS  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years'
consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year's
presentation.

NOTE B - DEBT 

SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS  The Company had short-term borrowings of $97,200 at
January 28, 1995.  The Company had short-term lines of credit with several
banks totalling $194,000 at January 28, 1995.  The interest rates on these
lines were negotiated based upon market conditions.  The weighted average
interest rate on borrowings from these lines was 4.7% during 1994 and 5.9% at
January 28, 1995. The average and maximum month end balances on these
borrowings were $78,488 and $97,200 in 1994.  There were no borrowings
classified as short-term at February 3, 1996.

 .............................................................................


(a)   In fiscal 1994, the Company had a revolving credit agreement with seven
    major banks providing for borrowings of up to $100,000.  On April 21, 1995,
    the Company amended and restated this agreement with ten major banks to
    increase the amount of borrowings provided from up to $100,000 to up to
    $200,000.  Funds may be drawn and repaid anytime prior to March 31, 2000.
    Sixty days prior to each anniversary date, the Company may request and upon
    agreement of each bank, extend the maturity of this facility an additional
    year.  If one of the banks fails to agree to this extension, the Company
    has the right to replace that bank.  At the Company's option, the interest
    rate on any loan may be based on (i) the higher of the federal funds rate
    plus 1/4% or the prime rate, (ii) LIBOR plus up to .63% or (iii) a
    negotiated rate based upon market conditions.  The interest rate on these
    borrowings at February 3, 1996 was a negotiated rate based upon market
    conditions.  The weighted average interest rate was 5.8% at February 3,
    1996 and 6.1% at January 28, 1995. 

(b)   The Company has short-term lines of credit with several banks totaling
    $144,000 at February 3, 1996.  Borrowings under these lines of credit at
    February 3, 1996 totaling $24,500 have been classified as long-term debt. 
    The Company has both the intent and ability, through its revolving credit
    agreement, to refinance these amounts on a long-term basis.  The weighted
    average interest rate on borrowings from these lines was 6.1% during 1995
    and 5.5% at February 3, 1996.  The interest rates on these lines were
    negotiated based upon market conditions.  The average and maximum month end
    balances on these borrowings were $44,400 and $102,300 in 1995.  The
    Company has a revolving credit agreement with a bank which permits the
    Company to borrow an aggregate of $10,000.  Upon the bank's demand, this
    line is due and payable in 13 months.  Borrowings outstanding under this
    revolving credit agreement totaled $10,000 at January 28, 1995.  There were
    no borrowings outstanding under this agreement at February 3, 1996.  The
    interest rate on this line, at the Company's election, is based on the
    prime rate, a "CD-based" rate, a "LIBOR-based" rate or a negotiated rate
    based upon market conditions.  The weighted average interest rate was 6.2%
    at January 28, 1995.

(c)   The 9.3% senior notes were extinguished on May 30, 1995.

(d)   The weighted average interest rate on the mortgage notes payable was 6.9%
    at February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995.  These notes, which mature at
    various times through August 2016, are collateralized by land and building
    with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $8,005 at February 3,
    1996.

CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES On August 24, 1994, the Company sold $86,250 of
4% convertible subordinated notes.  These notes are convertible by the holders
into the common stock of the Company anytime on or before September 1, 1999
(the maturity date) at a conversion price of $41 per share subject to
adjustment in certain events.  The notes are redeemable, in whole or in part,
at the option of the Company at any time on or after September 15, 1997, at a
redemption price of 101% of the principal amount and at par on or after
September 1, 1998.  

    Several of the Company's debt agreements require the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and covenants.  Approximately $109,095 of the Company's net
worth was not restricted by these covenants at fiscal year end. The Company is
in compliance with all debt covenants at February 3, 1996.

    The annual maturities of all long-term debt for the next five years are
$108,206 in 1996, $146 in 1997, $157 in 1998, $86,420 in 1999 and $80,183 in
2000.  Any compensating balance requirements related to all revolving credit
agreements and debt were satisfied by balances available from normal business
operations.

    The Company was contingently liable for outstanding letters of credit in
the amount of approximately $28,583 at February 3, 1996.

NOTE C - LEASE COMMITMENTS

    The Company leases certain property and equipment under operating leases
which contain renewal and escalation clauses.  Aggregate minimum rental
commitments for leases having noncancelable lease terms of more than one year
are approximately:  1996 - $23,223; 1997 - $22,152; 1998 - $21,132; 1999 -
$20,551; 2000 - $20,530; thereafter - $259,287.  Rental expenses incurred for
operating leases in 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $22,302, $18,474 and $16,786,
respectively.

NOTE D - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

RIGHTS AGREEMENT On December 31, 1987, the Company distributed as a dividend
one common share purchase right on each of its common shares.  The rights will
not be exercisable or transferable apart from the Company's common stock until
a person or group, as defined in the rights agreement (dated December 17, 1987
and as amended on June 6, 1989), without the proper consent of the Company's
Board of Directors, acquires 20% or more, or makes an offer to acquire 30% or
more of the Company's outstanding stock, exclusive of stock holdings as of
December 17, 1987.  When exercisable, the rights entitle the holder to purchase
one share of the Company's common stock for $55.  Under certain circumstances, 
including the acquisition of 20% of the Company's stock by a person or group,
the rights entitle the holder to purchase common stock of the Company or common
stock of an acquiring company having a market value of twice the exercise price
of the right.  The rights do not have voting power and are subject to
redemption by the Company's Board of Directors for $.02 per right anytime
before a 20% position has been acquired and for 15 days thereafter, at which
time the rights become nonredeemable.  The rights expire on December 31, 1997.

BENEFITS TRUST On April 29, 1994 the Company established a flexible employee
benefits trust with the intention of purchasing up to $75,000 worth of the
Company's common shares.  The repurchased shares will be held in the trust and
will be used to fund the Company's existing benefit plan obligations including
healthcare programs, savings and retirement plans and other benefit
obligations.  The trust will allocate or sell the repurchased shares over the
next 15 years to fund these benefit programs.  As shares are released from the
trust, the Company will charge or credit additional paid-in capital for the
difference between the fair value of shares released and the original cost of
the shares to the trust.  For financial reporting purposes, the trust is
consolidated with the accounts of the Company.  All dividend and interest
transactions between the trust and the Company are eliminated. As of February
3, 1996, the Company has repurchased 2,232,500 shares of its common stock at a
cost of $60,269 which is shown as "Cost of shares in benefits trust" on the
Company's consolidated balance sheets.                           

NOTE E - PENSION AND SAVINGS PLANS

    The Company has a pension plan covering substantially all of its full-time
employees hired on or before February 1, 1992.  Normal retirement age is 65. 
Pension benefits are based on salary and years of service.  The Company's
policy is to fund amounts as are necessary on an actuarial basis to provide
assets sufficient to meet the benefits to be paid to plan members in accordance
with the requirements of ERISA.  

    The actuarial computations using the "projected unit credit method" assumed
a discount rate on benefit obligations of 8.5% in 1995 and 7.8% in 1994 and 8%
in 1993, and an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets of 8.5%.  The
assumption for annual salary increases over the average remaining service lives
of employees under the plan was 4% in 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Variances between
actual experience and assumptions for costs and returns on assets are amortized
over the remaining service lives of employees under the plan.

    Pension expense includes the following:

NOTE G - NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

   Net earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding after reduction for treasury shares
and shares held in benefits trust and assuming exercise of dilutive stock
options computed by the treasury stock method using the average market price
during the period.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share are
essentially the same.

   The weighted average number of shares and share equivalents used in
computing net earnings per share were:  62,588,000 in 1995, 60,565,000 in 1994
and 61,891,000 in 1993. 


NOTE H - STOCK OPTIONS AND AWARDS

   Options to purchase the Company's common stock have been granted to key
employees and certain members of the Board of Directors.  The option prices are
at least 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the grant date.

   Under the terms of the Company's Incentive Stock Option Plan adopted in
1982, options to purchase up to 3,600,000 shares of the Company's common stock
were authorized.  Options granted prior to 1988 are exercisable from the date
of grant.  Options granted in 1988 and thereafter are exercisable on the second
anniversary of the grant date.  All options under this plan cannot be exercised
more than ten years from the grant date.  As of May 21, 1990, no additional
options will be granted under this plan.

   Under the terms of the Company's Nonqualified Stock Option Plans, adopted in
1984 and 1985, options to purchase up to 3,300,000 shares of the Company's
common stock were authorized.  The options became exercisable over a five-year
period with one-fifth exercisable on the grant date and one-fifth on each
anniversary date for the four years following the grant date.  Options granted
cannot be exercised more than ten and one-half years after the grant date.  As
of May 21, 1990, no additional options will be granted under these plans.

   On May 21, 1990, the stockholders approved the 1990 Stock Incentive Plan

available to management as of February 3, 1996 and January 28, 1995.  Although
management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the
estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively
revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that date, and
current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from amounts presented
herein.
