principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form

principles for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three-month and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1995.  For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1994.

Net income per common share is calculated based on the 6,630,260 and 6,891,104
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the three
months and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively, and 7,091,360

Annually, at the end of each year, management determines inventory levels based
on the taking of a physical inventory.  The amount of inventories at September
30, 1995, has been determined based upon inventory levels indicated by perpetual
inventory accounting records.  In addition, an actual valuation of inventory
under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the
inventory levels and costs at that time.  Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations
must necessarily be based on management's estimates of expected year-end
inventory levels and costs.  Since these are subject to many forces beyond
management's control, interim results are subject to the final year-end LIFO
inventory valuation.

NOTE C--CREDIT ARRANGEMENTS

The Company entered into a senior financing agreement on December 30, 1986, as
subsequently amended, that provides for revolving credit borrowings and term
loans. During 1994, the Company amended its senior credit agreement to permit
the Company to borrow $6 million in 1994 and provide for equivalent term
borrowing availability in 1995 under a new "Capital Expenditure Line" of credit.
The terms of the loan amendment also enabled the Company to reduce the interest
rates on its existing revolving credit line and term loans outstanding from the
greater of 7% or 3/4% over prime and the greater of 7% or 1% over prime,
respectively, to the Chemical Bank prime rate or LIBOR plus 1-3/4%; reduce the
annual revolving credit line commitment fee from 1/2% to 1/8% of the unused
balance; and extend the term of the revolving credit line to January 1, 1998. 
In addition, the amendment permits the Company to convert up to $7 million of
its indebtedness to a fixed interest rate.  The senior credit agreement may be
terminated by the Company or, on or after January 1, 1998 and upon 90 days
written notice, by the lender.  

Amounts outstanding under the term loan portion of the senior financing
agreement are scheduled to be repaid in quarterly principal installments
totaling as follows:  1995--$4,000,000; 1996--$5,000,000; 1997--$1,547,050.  The
Capital Expenditure Line portion of the loan agreement is required to be repaid
in 27 quarterly principal installments of $215,000, beginning January 1, 1995,
with a final principal payment of $195,000.  As of September 30, 1995, the
revolving credit line loan balance was $3,535,000 and the unused borrowing
availability approximated $6,465,000.  In addition, the  unused borrowing
availability on the Capital Expenditure Line approximated $6,000,000.

The Company's senior lending agreement contains various restrictive covenants,
including that the Company must maintain specified levels of working capital and
net worth (as defined in the agreement).  In addition, capital expenditures and
dividends are limited to the annual amounts set forth in the agreement.  At
September 30, 1995, the Company's retained earnings available for dividends in
1995 was $4,074,000.  As a result of the lending agreement, substantially all of
the Company's property, plant, and equipment, inventory and accounts receivable
are subject to a third party's security interests.

NOTE D--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is principally self-insured for employees' medical care costs and
workers' compensation claims up to certain specified dollar limits.  Under the
medical care program, the Company is insured by a private carrier for individual
claims in excess of specified dollar limits.  The Company also has excess
coverage provided by the West Virginia Workers' Compensation Fund (a state
agency) for certain work related injuries.  In connection with the self-insured
workers' compensation program, the Company has obtained an irrevocable standby
letter of credit in the amount of $1,000,000 (through July 1996).  A liability
has been established for those illnesses and injuries occurring on or before
September 30, 1995, for which an amount of expected loss could be reasonably
estimated.

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



Net Sales

Net sales decreased 4.6% in the third quarter of 1995 to $32,551,000 down
$1,555,000  from $34,106,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  Finished tonnage
sales decreased to 44,564 tons in the third quarter of 1995 from 48,236 tons for
the third quarter of 1994 primarily as a result of weakness in the truck trailer
market and the Company's not yet having fully realized the improved productivity
and increased output anticipated to be realized from the Company's 1994 capital
expenditure program.  Billet sales decreased to 10,967 tons for the third
quarter of 1995 from 13,544 tons in the third quarter of 1994.

Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased 3.4% to
$97,092,000 from $93,878,000 for the comparable period in 1994, primarily due to
higher average selling prices caused by favorable product mix and selected price
increases.  Finished tonnage sales decreased to 135,034 tons for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 from 140,934 tons for the comparable period in 1994. 
Billet sales increased to 23,980 tons for the same period in 1995 from 19,968
tons for the comparable period in 1994.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased to 82.3% of net sales or $26,789,000 for the third
quarter of 1995 from 83.9% of net sales for the third quarter of 1994.  The
percent decrease in cost of goods sold was principally due to increased finished
production, improved product mix and selected selling price increases.

Cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 decreased to 82.8% of
net sales from 83.0% of net sales for the comparable period in 1994.  The
percent decrease in cost of goods sold was principally due to increased finished
production which allocated fixed costs to inventory, improved product mix and
selected selling price increases.

Selling and Administrative Expenses

Selling and administrative expenses for the third quarter of 1995 were
$1,158,000 as compared to $1,645,000 for the third quarter of 1994.  This
decrease was due primarily to lower consulting expense.  As a percentage of net
sales, selling and administrative expense was 3.6% in the third quarter of 1995
and 4.8% for the comparable period in 1994.

Selling and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September
30, 1995 were $3,851,000, compared to $4,224,000 for the comparable period in
1994.  This decrease was due primarily to lower consulting expense.  As a
percentage of net sales, selling and administrative expense decreased to 4.0% in
the nine month period ended September 30, 1995, from 4.5% for the comparable
period in 1994.

Interest Expense and Other (Income) Expense 

Interest expense for the third quarter of 1995 was 1.4% of net sales or
$455,000, as compared to .8% of net sales or $280,000 for the third quarter of
1994.  Interest expense increased as a result of higher average debt outstanding
due to the modernization and expansion program and the Company's repurchase of
shares of its Common Stock.  Other (income) expense increased to $48,000 of
expense in the third quarter of 1995, compared to $3,000 of expense for the
third quarter of 1994.

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 increased to 1.3%
of net sales or $1,253,000, as compared to .7% of net sales or $634,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994.  Interest expense increased as a result of
higher average debt outstanding due to the expansion and modernization program
and the Company's repurchase of shares of its Common Stock.  Other (income)
expense changed to $185,000 of income for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 from $7,000 of income for the comparable period in 1994, principally due to
a reduction in losses from the disposal of fixed assets.

Net Income

As a result of the above, net income for the third quarter of 1995 increased by
$289,000 (13.4%) to $2,449,000 from $2,160,000 for the third quarter of 1994. 
As a percentage of net sales, net income was 7.5% in the third quarter of 1995
and 6.3% for the third quarter of 1994.

As a result of the above, net income of $7,157,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 increased by $389,000 (5.7%) from $6,768,000 for the
comparable period in 1994.  As a percentage of net sales, net income increased
to 7.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from 7.2% for the
comparable period in 1994.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

The Company's primary ongoing cash needs are for working capital requirements,
debt service and capital expenditures.  The three present sources for the
Company's liquidity needs are internally generated funds, a capital expenditure
term loan line, and the Company's revolving credit facility, which the Company
anticipates will be sufficient for its ongoing cash needs.  Working capital at
the end of the third quarter of 1995 was $13,567,000, compared to $10,516,000 at
the end of the prior fiscal year.  This increase in working capital was due
primarily to working capital provided by operations.  The Company's expenditures
for required capital replacements are currently anticipated to average
approximately $1,000,000 annually over the next several years.  In addition,
from time to time, the Company evaluates discretionary capital expenditures and
acquisition opportunities.  Any such expenditure would be subject to
availability of funds and approval by the Company's Board of Directors.
