Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities Disclosure [Text Block]	C. ACCRUED LIABILITIES: At December 31, 2024, accrued liabilities consisted of payroll $9,761,000, contract liabilities $7,345,000 (see Note A(13)), product liability $4,982,000, payroll taxes $361,000, environmental $925,000, and other $1,192,000.

The Company is self-insured for health care costs, although it does carry stop loss and other insurance to cover health care claims once they reach a specified threshold. The Company is also subject to product liability claims in the normal course of business. It is partly self-insured for product liability claims, and therefore records an accrual for known claims and estimated incurred but unreported claims in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company utilizes historical trends and other analysis to assist in determining the appropriate accrual. An increase in the number or magnitude of claims could have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company's policy is to accrue for legal fees expected to be incurred in connection with loss contingencies. See Note K for a discussion of environmental remediation liabilities.
