Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements


See notes to financial statements included in the Corporation's 10-K for the
year ended November 3, 1996, for information concerning accounting policies,
long-term debt, stock options and other financial matters.  There have been
no material changes in financial matters since November 3, 1996.  In February
1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 128,
Earnings Per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31, 1997.  At
that time, the Corporation will be required to change the method currently
used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under 
the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive
effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of Statement 128 on the
calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share for the periods
reported is not expected to be material.

In the opinion of the Corporation, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only
normal accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
April 20, 1997 and November 3, 1996, and the results of operations and
cash flows for the three and six 4-week periods ended April 20, 1997 and
April 14, 1996.

The results of operations for the three and six 4-week periods ended April
20, 1997 and April 14, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for the full year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of the
Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income


Comparison of Second Quarter 1997 to Second Quarter 1996 and Two Quarters of
1997 to Two Quarters of 1996   (See pages 3 and 4 for dollar and percent
changes.)
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The lower net sales in the second quarter and two quarters of 1997 were due
primarily to lower demand for the Corporation's product.  Fewer units were
shipped in both the second quarter and first half of 1997 than in 1996, at 
higher average selling prices in 1997.

Production costs were lower as a percentage of sales in the second quarter 
and two quarters of 1997 due primarily to improved operational efficiencies
and increases in sales prices.  Selling and administrative expenses were
higher as a percentage of sales in 1997 due primarily to the lower sales
volume.  Interest expense declined due to lower levels of outstanding debt.
Net income increased during the second quarter of 1997 despite lower ship-
ments due mainly to the lower cost of sales.



Capital Resources and Liquidity
- --------------------------------

Working capital provided by operations was $3,943,000 for the two quarters
ended April 20, 1997 compared to $3,736,000 for the two quarters ended April
14, 1996.  Net working capital decreased by $3,402,000 during the first two
quarters of 1997 compared with an increase of $400,000 in the first two
quarters of 1996.

During the second quarter of 1997, the Corporation's average amount of 
outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money was $39,542,505.  The weighted
average rate of interest on such indebtedness was approximately 5.4% per
annum.
