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 three months ended March 31, 1996,
are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

Item 2.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations

Genuine Parts Company (the "Company") reported record sales and earnings in the
first quarter of 1996.  Sales for the quarter were $1.4 billion, up 9% over the
same period in 1995.  Net income in the quarter advanced 7% to $73.9 million.
On a per-share basis, net income in the quarter was 61 cents versus 56 cents in 
the same quarter of the prior year.

All three business segments reflected good sales progress in the first quarter.
The Automotive Parts Group advanced its sales by 7% over the first quarter of
1995 reflecting that the NAPA growth initiatives are working well and increased
market share.  The Industrial Parts Group had an excellent quarter with sales
advancing an impressive 11% over the same quarter last year.  The Industrial
Group benefited from geographic expansion and strong industrial production
during the quarter.  S.P. Richards Company, the Office Products Group,
continues to move steadily forward and posted a sales gain of 13% for the
quarter, reflecting continued geographic expansion and increased market share.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities remains very good at 3.4 to
1 and the Company's cash position is good.
