NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note A - Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and therefore do
not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.  However, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary to a fair statement of the operations of
the interim period have been made.  These adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1994, are
not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Note B - Accounting Changes

During the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions" which requires the projected
future costs of providing postretirement benefits, such as health care and life
insurance, be recognized as an expense as employees render service instead of
when benefits are paid.  The Company has applied the new rules using the
cumulative effect method, resulting in a charge of $5,055,000 (net of income
taxes of $3,095,000).

Also during the quarter ended March 31, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".  The
cumulative effect as of January 1, 1993, of adopting Statement 109 increased
net income by $4,000,000.  As permitted by the Statement, prior year financial
statements have not been restated to reflect the impact of the change in
accounting method.

The impact of adopting Statements 106 and 109 did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements or its results of operations.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The Company reported record sales and earnings in the second quarter and for
the first six months of 1994.  Sales for the quarter were $1.2 billion, up 10%
over the same period in 1993.  Net income in the quarter advanced 8% to $71.0
million.  On a per-share basis, net income for the quarter was $.57 versus $.53
in the same quarter of the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 1994, sales totaled $2.4 billion, up 11% over
the first half of 1993, while net income was $133.9 million, an increase of
10%.  Earnings per share were $1.08 for the first six months of 1994 and $.98
for the same period in 1993.

                                                                       FORM 10-Q

Sales for the Automotive Parts Group advanced 8% for the quarter and 9% for the
first six months, reflecting the strength of NAPA programs in the marketplace
and increased market penetration.  Sales for the Industrial Parts Group
increased 13% for the quarter and 12% for the six months ended June 30, 1994,
as industrial production continues to increase.  The Office Products Group was
up 15% for the quarter and 17% for the six month period, reflecting innovative
marketing programs, an outstanding level of service and geographic expansion.
Each of these groups continue to outpace growth in their respective industries
and to improve market share.  Cost of goods sold decreased slightly as a
percentage of net sales over the same quarter the prior year.  Selling,
administrative and other expenses increased 12% for the quarter and the
percentage to net sales increased slightly, due mostly to increased salaries,
employee benefits and expenses associated with the automotive total growth
strategy.

The first quarter results for 1993 included the net effect of adoption of FAS
106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pension", of
a charge of $5,055,000 (net of income taxes of $3,095,000) and an increase in
net income of $4,000,000 for the adoption of FAS 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes".  The adoption of FAS 106 and 109 did not have a material impact on the
Company's financial statements or its results of operations.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 4.2,
and the Company's cash position is excellent.
