Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES The Company's 2018 and 2017 effective tax rates differ from the statutory federal tax rate due principally to state income taxes. The Company’s effective income tax rate was 24.5% and 24.4% for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was 30.3% and 34.0%, respectively. This reduction is primarily the result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, which reduced the statutory Federal tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, partially offset by the loss of tax benefits available in the prior period related to the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 that expired effective December 31, 2017. The reduced effective tax rate resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 increased earnings per share by 4¢ and 29¢ for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018. Income tax payments for the three and nine months ended September 29, 2018 totaled $7.3 million and $15.3 million, respectively. Income tax payments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 totaled $1.3 million and $18.6 million, respectively.
