ITEM 2.   IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.
          ----------------------- 

          (a) This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D is filed by the Original

("Efficiency"). The shareholders of Efficiency (the "Efficiency Shareholders")

and Cathy Ellen Onufrychuk, each of whom is an Original Reporting Person and a
child of Herman Merinoff; and (ii) Patricia North, Nancy Stone and Steven

"LLC") and Efficiency may be deemed to be a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-
5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") by
virtue of the family relationship among Mr. Merinoff, the members of the LLC and
the Efficiency Shareholders. The members of the LLC are Linda Merinoff, Barbara
Merinoff, Spencer Merinoff, Charles Merinoff and Cathy Ellen Onufrychuk (the
"LLC Members"). Spencer Merinoff serves as manager of the LLC. The Original

aggregate of 261,214 shares of Common Stock in connection with their sale to the
Company of all of their shares of common stock, no par value per share, of Blair
Importers Ltd., a New York corporation ("Blair") (such transaction, the
"Merger"), which shares constituted all of the outstanding shares of common
stock of Blair. In addition to the shares of Common Stock acquired pursuant to
the Merger, on May 3, 1995, Herman Merinoff acquired an additional 2,000 shares
of Common Stock on the open market at a price of $10.75 per share, or an
aggregate of $21,500. The LLC became an Original Reporting Person by virtue of
its acquisition on May 5, 1995, of 3,000 shares of Common Stock on the open
market at a price of $10.00 per share, or an aggregate of $30,000. The LLC
acquired an additional 2,000 shares of Common Stock on July 31, 1995, on the
open market at a price of $9.58 per share, or an aggregate of $19,160.

          On October 28, 1998, all of the Original Reporting Persons other than
Herman Merinoff and the LLC agreed to sell all of their shares of Common Stock
to Efficiency.  The Original Reporting Persons and Efficiency are filing this
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D on their own behalf and not on behalf of any
other parties.  The agreement by the Original Reporting Persons other than the
LLC to sell their shares of common stock of Blair to the Company is more fully
described in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D and Item 5 of this Amendment No. 1 to
Schedule 13D.  The agreement by all of the Original Reporting Persons other than
Herman Merinoff and the LLC to sell their shares of Common Stock to Efficiency
is more fully described in Items 4 and 5 of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule
13D.

          (b) The address of Efficiency and each of the Original Reporting
Persons is as set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto.

address of the corporation or other organization in which such employment is

Reporting Person has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).

          (e) During the last five years, neither Efficiency nor any Original
Reporting Person has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or

or it was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

          (f) Each Original Reporting Person other than the LLC is a United
States citizen.

          IN August 1994, all of the Original Reporting Persons other than the
LLC sold their shares of common stock of Blair to the Company. As partial
consideration for their shares of common stock of Blair, the Original Reporting
Persons other than the LLC received an aggregate of 261,214 shares of Common
Stock, which shares were placed in escrow. During the time such shares were held
in escrow, the Original Reporting Persons other than the LLC had no voting or
dispositive powers with respect to such shares. Such shares were released from
escrow on August 21, 1998. The Original Reporting Persons other than the LLC
filed the Schedule 13D as a "group" pursuant to Rule 13-d(5)(b)(1) under the Act
due to their collective agreement to acquire the 261,214 shares of Common Stock
in exchange for their shares of common stock of Blair. The LLC filed the
Schedule 13D with the Original Reporting Persons to report its acquisition of an
aggregate of 5,000 shares of Common Stock and to report the family relationship
among the LLC Members and certain of the other Original Reporting Persons.

          On October 28, 1998, all of the Original Reporting Persons other than
Herman Merinoff and the LLC sold their shares of Common Stock to Efficiency in a
private transaction pursuant to which Efficiency became the beneficial owner of
an aggregate of 212,635 shares of Common Stock.  Each selling Original Reporting
Person received $8.25 per share for each share of Common Stock sold.  The
aggregate sales price for the 212,635 shares of Common Stock purchased by
Efficiency was $1,754,238.75.  Accordingly, the Original Reporting Persons other
than Herman Merinoff, the LLC, the LLC Members (who are identified in Item 2 of
this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D) and the Efficiency Shareholders (who are
identified in Item 2 to this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D) are filing this
Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D to report that they no longer beneficially own
any shares of Common Stock and are no longer a part of the reporting "group" for
purposes of Rule 13-d(5)(b)(1) under the Act.  Herman Merinoff, the LLC, the LLC
Members, Efficiency and the Efficiency Shareholders (the "New Reporting
Persons") are filing this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D to report the sale of
the shares of Common Stock to Efficiency.

          The New Reporting Persons have acquired the shares of Common Stock for
investment purposes.  The primary interest of the New Reporting Persons is to
maximize the value of their respective investments in the Company.  To this end,
Herman Merinoff, the LLC and Efficiency intend to review, individually or
together, from time to time, the Company's business affairs and financial
position and future prospects, as well as conditions in the securities markets
and general economic and industry conditions.  Based on such evaluation and
review and other factors, Herman Merinoff, the LLC and Efficiency, individually
or together, will continue to consider various alternative courses of action and
will in the future take such actions, individually or together, with respect to
their respective investments in the Company as they deem appropriate in their
discretion in light of the circumstances existing from time to time.  Such
actions may involve the purchase of additional shares of Common Stock and,
alternatively, may involve the sale of all or a portion of the shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned by them in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions to one or more purchasers.

          Other than as stated in Item 4 hereof, the New Reporting Persons do
not currently have any definitive plans or proposals which relate to or would
result in:

          (a)  The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the
               Company, or the disposition of securities of the Company;

          (b)  An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
               reorganization or liquidation, involving the Company or any of
               its subsidiaries;

          (c)  A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company
               or any of its subsidiaries;

          (d)  Any change in the present board of directors or management of the
               Company including any plans or proposals to change the number or
               term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board
               of directors;

          (e)  Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend
               policy of the Company;

          (f)  Any other material change in the Company's business or corporate
               structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a
               registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals
               to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is
               required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940;

          (g)  Changes in the Company's charter, bylaws or instruments
               corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the
               acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

          (h)  Causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from
               a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be
               quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered
               national securities association;

          (i)  A class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for
               termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the
               Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

          (j)  Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

          The summary of the agreements discussed in this Item are not intended
to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text

herein by reference.

          (a)  As of October 28, 1998, each Original Reporting Person and
Efficiency beneficially owned such number of shares of Common Stock as is set
forth beside such party's name on Exhibit 1 attached hereto. Such shares in the
aggregate represent approximately 5.4% of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock. As a result of the family relationship among Herman Merinoff, the LLC
Members (who are identified in Item 2 of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D)
and the Efficiency Shareholders (who are identified in Item 2 of this Amendment
No. 1 to Schedule 13D), Mr. Merinoff, the LLC, the LLC Members, Efficiency and
the Efficiency Shareholders may be deemed to be acting as a "group" for purposes

Reporting Persons may constitute a "group" for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1)
under the Act, Herman Merinoff, the LLC, the LLC Members, Efficiency and the
Efficiency Shareholders disclaim beneficial ownership of any shares owned by
each other. The LLC Members and the Efficiency Shareholders may be deemed to
share voting and dispositive power over the shares of Common Stock owned by the
LLC and Efficiency, respectively. Each LLC Member and Efficiency Shareholder
disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock owned by the LLC
and Efficiency, respectively. Other than the agreement by the Original Reporting
Persons to acquire the 261,214 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Merger,
the separate acquisitions by Herman Merinoff and the LLC of an aggregate of
7,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market and the agreement by the

sixty days.

          (d)  Other than Charles Merinoff, Spencer Merinoff, Cathy Ellen
Onufrychuk, Peter Baronoff, the LLC and Efficiency, no person other than each
respective record owner of shares of Common Stock referred to herein is known to
have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from
or the proceeds of sale of such shares of Common Stock.

          (e)  Not applicable.
