Dear Mr. Humphrey:

We are in receipt of your letter, dated November 8, 2012 regarding CLARCOR Inc.'s Annual Report for its 2011 fiscal year, filed with the Commission on Form 10-K on January 27, 2012. Following my discussion with Ms. Kristin Shifflett today, I write to confirm her agreement to extend our period of response until Friday, November 30, 2012. We requested this additional time due to the upcoming holidays and the demands of our year-end close process.

Many thanks for your assistance and understanding.

Sincerely,
