Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Provision for Income Taxes	Provision for Income Taxes The provision for income taxes was $10,964,000 and $9,468,000, in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, and represented 31% and 32% of pre-tax income. The effective tax rate of 31% in the first nine months of 2015 was lower than the Company's statutory tax rate primarily due to the distribution of the Company's worldwide earnings and an adjustment to increase deferred tax assets, which was offset in part by an increase in non-deductible expenses, state tax expense, and the U.S. tax cost of foreign operations. The effective tax rate of 32% in the first nine months of 2014 was lower than the Company's statutory tax rate primarily due to the distribution of the Company's worldwide earnings, the release of tax reserves that resulted from the expiration of tax statutes of limitations, and the release of state tax reserves in the U.S. These tax benefits were offset in part by tax expense associated with an increase in nondeductible expenses and a reduction in deferred tax assets.
