the Company to fix the number of  directors  of the  Company at five;  and (iii)
repealing each provision of the Amended and Restated Bylaws or amendment thereto

          -- Moore Corporation Says Its Suggestion to Meet Rejected by
                      Wallace Computer Services' Board --

  -- Moore Submits Proposals to Remove Present Wallace Board of Directors and
                         Elect Three Moore Nominees --

                 -- Moore Seeks to Dismiss Wallace Complaint --

                        -- Moore Extends Tender Offer --

TORONTO (August 28, 1995) -- In a statement  released today,  Moore  Corporation
Limited (TSE, ME, NYSE: MCL) said, "We are very  disappointed to report that the
Board of Directors of Wallace Computer Services rejected outright our suggestion
to meet last week in order to  discuss  Moore's  $56 per share  cash  offer.  By
requesting to meet to discuss the transaction,  we had hoped to allow Wallace to
avoid a prolonged  proxy  contest that would be  disruptive to its customers and
employees,  and could  result in  diminishing  Wallace's  value.  It seems  that
Wallace's  Board is  willing  to  expend  corporate  assets in an effort to deny
Wallace shareholders an opportunity to accept Moore's offer.

"We had invited  Wallace's Board and advisors to meet with us to demonstrate why
they believe our $56 per share offer is "inadequate." As we have said many times
in public and in private,  we remain open to the possibility that the Board will
elect  to sit  down  with us in the  near  future  and are  ready at any time to
discuss any aspect of our  proposed  combination.  In the  meantime,  Moore will
proceed with the necessary steps to facilitate its effort to acquire Wallace."

Moore will formally notify Wallace Computer  Services (NYSE: WCS) today that, in
addition  to seeking to elect its three  nominees,  Moore  intends to  introduce
three proposals at Wallace's next annual meeting. Based on information from last
year's proxy statement,  Wallace's annual meeting is currently anticipated to be
held on November 8, 1995.

Moore's  proposals,  if  successful,  will remove all of the present  members of
Wallace's  Board of  Directors,  amend  Wallace's  bylaws  to set the  number of
directors at five, and repeal any changes to Wallace's  bylaws which may be made
after February 15, 1995 and prior to the annual meeting. In order to be adopted,
the first two proposals must be approved by 80 percent of Wallace's shareholders
and the third must be approved by a simple majority.  Moore previously submitted
to Wallace its slate of three nominees to Wallace's Board of Directors.

Moore also announced that it filed a motion in the United States  District Court
for the Southern  District of New York to dismiss  antitrust and  securities law
claims  filed by  Wallace  against  Moore or,  alternatively,  to  transfer  and
consolidate  those  claims  with the  lawsuit  previously  filed by Moore in the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

Moore  continued,  "Since we first  announced our intention to commence a tender
offer for Wallace  shares,  we have secured  financing  allowing us to waive the
financing condition to our offer and cleared Hart-Scott-Rodino without receiving
a second request from the antitrust division of the U.S.  Department of Justice.
The steps we are taking  today will move us further  along in a process to which
we are  committed.  The  Wallace  Board of  Directors'  failure to disarm  their
defenses is the only real obstacle to their shareholders'  ability to accept our
offer."

Moore's wholly-owned subsidiary, FRDK, Inc. will extend its tender offer for all
outstanding shares of Wallace common stock, including associated preferred stock
purchase  rights,  until 5:00 p.m. EST on Tuesday,  September  19,  1995.  As of
Friday, August 25, 1995, 165,856 shares had been tendered and not withdrawn.

                                      ###

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                  As  you  know,   FRDK,  Inc.,  a  New  York  corporation  (the
"Stockholder")  which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Moore Corporation Limited,
commenced  a tender  offer  (the  "Offer")  on August 2,  1995 to  purchase  all

                  In connection  with the Offer,  the Stockholder has previously
delivered to the Company a notice in accordance  with Section 3.3 of the Amended

nominate at the Company's 1995 Annual Meeting (the "Annual  Meeting")  Curtis A.
Hessler,  Albert W. Isenman, III and Robert P. Rittereiser to serve as directors
of the Company.



<PAGE>


                  In addition to making  such  nominations,  pursuant to Section
2.11(a) of the  Bylaws,  the  Stockholder  hereby  notifies  the  Company of the
Stockholder's intent to bring before the Annual Meeting business for the purpose
of: (i)  removing  all of the members of the Board of  Directors  of the Company
other than Messrs.  Hessler,  Isenman and Rittereiser,  if then directors of the
Company;  (ii) amending the Bylaws to fix the number of directors of the Company
at five; and (iii)  repealing each provision of the Bylaws or amendment  thereto
adopted  subsequent  to  February  15,  1995 and  prior to the  approval  of the
Stockholder  Proposals (as defined  below).  The proposals that the  Stockholder
intends to bring before the Annual  Meeting are each set forth in Annex I hereto
(the "Stockholder Proposals"),  and the foregoing description of the Stockholder
Proposals is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Annex I.

                  The  Stockholder  has previously  delivered to the Company its
Offer to Purchase  dated August 2, 1995 and Tender  Offer  Statement on Schedule
14D-1,  as  amended,  containing  its reasons for  introducing  the  Stockholder
Proposals at the Annual  Meeting and a description  of any material  interest of
the Stockholder in the Stockholder Proposals. A copy of the Offer to Purchase is
attached hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

                  The  Stockholder  represents that it is the owner of record of

c/o David Wilf,  Chadbourne & Parke,  30 Rockefeller  Plaza,  New York, New York

address as it appears on the Company's  books to the principal place of business
of the Stockholder c/o Moore Corporation  Limited,  1 First Canadian Place, 72nd
Floor, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5X 1G5.

                  The  Stockholder  does not  acknowledge  the  validity  of the
requirements  set forth in Section 2.11(a) of the Bylaws,  and the execution and
delivery of this letter and the notification  herein by the Stockholder does not
constitute a waiver of the  Stockholder's  right to contest the validity of such
requirements.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Stockholder  reserves
the right, in its sole discretion, to modify or amend the Stockholder Proposals,
to propose  additional  matters,  and to  decline  to propose  any or all of the
Stockholder Proposals.
