           This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") amends and
supplements the Schedule 13D, as amended (the "Schedule 13D"), filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the acquisition (the
"Acquisition") by Associated Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Associated") of 17,201,839 shares of the common stock, $0.10 par value
("Common Stock"), of United Stationers Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), which was effected on March 30, 1995. Immediately following the
Acquisition, Associated was merged with and into the Company, and the separate
corporate existence of Associated thereafter ceased. Accordingly, the
information set forth in the Schedule 14D-1, as amended, of which the Schedule
13D formed a part, relating to the ownership of Associated (and, accordingly,
the beneficial ownership of the Company), is hereby further amended as set forth
in this Amendment. All share numbers reflect a 2-for-1 stock split effected by
the Company by way of a 100% stock dividend paid to holders of Common Stock on
September 28, 1998, subsequent to the Filing Parties' previous filing.
Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
