                       INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT
                       -------------------------

     THIS AGREEMENT, is made and entered into as of the _____ day of
___________, 199__, by and between ANGELICA CORPORATION, a Missouri
corporation ("Company"), and ________________________ ("Indemnified
Person").

                          W I T N E S S E T H:
                          --------------------

     WHEREAS, Indemnified Person is a member of the Board of Directors
and/or an officer of Company and in such capacity is performing a
valuable service for Company; and

     WHEREAS, Company presently maintains a policy or policies of
Directors and Officers Liability Insurance ("D & O Insurance"), insuring
against certain liabilities which may be incurred by its directors and
officers in the performance of their services for the Company; and

     WHEREAS, the cost of such insurance is increasing substantially
and the coverage of such insurance is decreasing, and Company deems it
desirable, with the consent and approval of its stockholders, to enter
into agreements with the Directors and Officers to provide to them
broader indemnities and greater protection against liabilities incurred
by them on account of their services for the Company;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the continued service of
Indemnified Person as a Director and/or officer after the date hereof,
the parties hereto agree as follows:

     1.   Indemnity
          ---------

          1.1.  Company shall indemnify and hold Indemnified Person
harmless to the full extent authorized or permitted by the provisions of
The General and Business Corporation Law of Missouri, as in effect at
the date of this Agreement, or by any amendment thereof or any other
statutory provisions authorizing or permitting such indemnification
which may be adopted after the date hereof.

          1.2.  Without limiting the indemnity provided under Section
1.1 hereof, and subject only to the limitations set forth in Section 4
hereof, if Indemnified Person was or is a party or is

                                  -3-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, or whether an action by a third party or by or in the
right of Company) by reason of the fact that Indemnified Person is or
was a director or officer of Company (or, if his service is or was at
the request of Company, as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise), then Company shall indemnify Indemnified Person against
expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by Indemnified Person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding.

          1.3.  The costs and expenses incurred by Indemnified Person
in connection with any proceedings described in this Section 1 shall be
paid by Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding
with the understanding and agreement hereby made and entered into by
Indemnified Person that Indemnified Person shall repay to Company such
amount, or the appropriate portion thereof, so paid or advanced if it
shall ultimately be determined that Indemnified Person was not entitled
to be indemnified by Company hereunder.

          1.4.  If Indemnified Person is deceased and is or was
entitled to indemnification under any provision of this Agreement, such
indemnification shall continue and shall inure to the benefit of the
heirs, executors and administrators of Indemnified Person.

     2.   Maintenance of Insurance
          ------------------------

          2.1.  Company has in force and effect D & O Insurance which
provides insurance protection to its directors and officers against
certain liabilities which may  be incurred by them on account of
services for Company.  Company may, but shall not be required to,
continue all or any part of said insurance coverage in effect.  If such
insurance coverage shall be maintained by Company, such insurance, to
the extent of the coverage provided thereby, shall be primary and
Company's agreement of indemnity hereunder shall be effective only to
the extent that the Indemnified Person is not reimbursed pursuant to
such insurance coverage, and if Company shall have advanced any amount
to or for Indemnified Person which is later recovered by Indemnified
Person under such insurance coverage, Indemnified Person shall repay
such recovered amount to

                                  -4-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Company.  If such insurance shall not be maintained by Company,
Indemnified Person shall be indemnified fully by Company in accordance
with the provisions of Section 1 of this Agreement.

     3.   Determination of Right to Indemnification
          -----------------------------------------

          3.1.  The indemnification under Section 1 hereof shall be
made by the Company unless a determination is reasonably and promptly
made that indemnification is not proper in the circumstances because of
the limitations set forth in Section 4 hereof.  Any such determination
shall be made (unless ordered by a court) by the Board of Directors of
Company, by a majority vote of quorum consisting of directors who were
not parties to such action, suit or proceeding.

          3.2.  In the event that a quorum of directors who were not
parties to such action, suit or proceeding is not available, or even if
available, if a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, such
determination shall be made by independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.  The fees and expenses of counsel in connection with making
said  determination contemplated hereunder shall be paid by Company.

          3.3.  If the person (including the Board of Directors,
independent legal counsel or a court) making the determination hereunder
shall determine that Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification
as to some claims, issues or matters involved in the action, suit or
proceeding but not as to others, such person shall reasonably prorate
the expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts
paid in settlement with respect to which indemnification is sought by
Indemnified Person among such claims, issues and matters.

     4.   Limitations on Indemnity  No indemnity pursuant to Section 1
          ------------------------
hereof shall be paid by Company:

          (a)  In respect of remuneration paid to Indemnified Person
               if it shall be determined by a final judgment or other
               final adjudication that such remuneration was in
               violation of law;

          (b)  On account of any suit in which judgment is rendered
               against Indemnified Person for an accounting



                                  -5-

<PAGE>
               of profits made from the purchase or sale by
               Indemnified Person of securities of Company pursuant
               to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities
               Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or similar
               provisions of any federal, state or local statutory
               law; or

          (c)  If Indemnified Person's conduct is finally adjudged to
               have been knowingly fraudulent, deliberately
               dishonest, or willful misconduct.

     5.   Continuation of Indemnity   All agreements and obligations
          -------------------------
of Company contained herein shall continue during the period Indemnified
Person is a director and/or officer of Company (or is or was serving at
the request of Company as a director and/or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) and
shall continue thereafter so long as Indemnified Person shall be subject
to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed action, suit
or proceeding, whether civil, criminal or investigative, by reason of
the fact that Indemnified Person is or was a director and/or officer of
Company or serving in any other capacity referred to herein.

     6.   Notice to Company; Defense and Settlement of Claims
          ---------------------------------------------------

          6.1.  Indemnified Person shall promptly notify Company in
writing upon being served with any citation, petition, complaint,
indictment or other document relating to any proceeding which could give
rise to indemnification hereunder.  The omission so to notify Company
shall not relieve Company from any liability which it may have to
Indemnified Person otherwise than under this Agreement.

          6.2.  With respect to any action, suit or proceeding as to
which Indemnified Person notifies Company of the commencement thereof:

               (a)  Company will be entitled to participate therein
                    at its own expense.

               (b)  Except as otherwise provided below, to the
                    extent that it may wish, Company jointly with
                    any other indemnifying party similarly notified
                    will be entitled to assume the defense




                                  -6-
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
                    thereof, with counsel satisfactory to
                    Indemnified Person.  After notice from Company
                    to Indemnified Person of its election so to
                    assume the defense thereof, Company will not be
                    liable to Indemnified Person under this
                    Agreement for any legal or other expenses
                    subsequently incurred by Indemnified Person in
                    connection with the defense thereof other than
                    as otherwise provided below.  Indemnified Person
                    shall have the right to employ his or her own
                    counsel in such action, suit or proceeding, but
                    the fees and expenses of such counsel incurred
                    after notice from Company of its assumption of
                    the defense thereof shall be at the expense of
                    Indemnified Person unless (i) the employment of
                    counsel by Indemnified Person has been
                    authorized by Company; or (ii) Company shall not
                    in fact have employed counsel to assume the
                    defense of such action, in each of which cases
                    the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the
                    expense of Company.

               (c)  Company shall not be liable to indemnify
                    Indemnified Person under this Agreement for any
                    amounts paid in settlement of any action or
                    claim effected without its written consent.
                    Company shall not settle any action or claim in
                    any manner which would impose any penalty or
                    limitation on Indemnified Person without
                    Indemnified Person's written consent.  Neither
                    Company nor Indemnified Person will reasonably
                    withhold its consent to any proposed settlement.

     7.   Other Rights and Remedies   The indemnification and advance
          -------------------------
payment of expenses provided by any provision of this Agreement shall
not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnified Person
may be entitled under any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or
By-Laws of Company, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors, or otherwise.
