 3.   On April 19, 1994, the Company acquired A.B. Chance Industries, Inc., a
      manufacturer of  electrical apparatus, anchors, hardware, insulators,
      hot-line tools and other safety equipment.  The acquisition was for $110
      million in cash and was recorded under the purchase method of accounting.
      Accordingly, the results of operations for the acquired business has been
      included  in the consolidated statement of income only from its
      acquisition date.  Had the business been  acquired on the first day of
      1994 unaudited proforma net sales and net income for the year-to-date
      period ending September 30, 1994 would have been $778,174,000 and
      $79,135,000 respectively.  The proforma results are not necessarily
      indicative of the results that would have  been obtained had the
      acquisition occurred on January 1, 1994, nor are they necessarily
      indicative of the results that may occur in the future.

      dividend paid on February  3, 1995 to shareholders of record on January

 5.   Subsequent Event -- On October 3, 1995, the Company completed a public
      debt offering.  The  offering consisted of $100,000,000 of 6 5/8% notes
      due October 1, 2005.  The proceeds from the offering were used to reduce
      the oustanding amount of commercial paper.

 6.   In the opinion of management, the information furnished in Part
      I-Financial Information on  Form 10-Q reflects all adjustments (which
      include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
      the financial statements for the periods indicated.

      September 30, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results
      to be expected for the full year.

 ITEM 2                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 1995 increased by 7% as
substantially all operating units reported increases with particularly strong
growth for the Lighting, Industrial Controls, Ohio Brass, Pulsecom and Premise
Wiring businesses.  The sales growth primarily reflects the improved economic
conditions in the United States and Canadian markets from a year ago.
Operating income increased 18% on the higher sales volume and the benefit of
improved operating efficiencies from the Company's restructuring program.
Year-to-date net sales and operating income increased by 17% and 20%,
respectively, on generally improved market conditions and the inclusion for the
full nine months of 1995 of A.B. Chance which was acquired in April 1994.  The
inclusion of A.B. Chance was approximately four percentage points of the
increases, respectively.

      Low Voltage segment sales for the third quarter increased 8% reflecting
the improved market conditions in the United States and Canada.  While all
product lines in the segment showed improvement, fluorescent lighting and
industrial controls were particularly strong.  Operating profits increased 9%
on higher sales which include a higher mix of lower margined products.
Year-to-date net sales and operating profits increased by 13% and 14%,
respectively, as sales during the third quarter continued to increase but at a
marginally lower rate than the first and second quarters.

      For the quarter, High Voltage segment sales were essentially even with
last year as the higher sales of power cables, surge arresters and insulators
offset a decline in test and measurement equipment.  Operating profits
increased 10% on higher operating volumes, benefits from the realignment of
administrative and sales functions within the segment, and improved
manufacturing efficiencies in power cables.   Year-to-date sales increased 19%
and operating profits increased 13% from the inclusion of A.B. Chance high
voltage products since its acquisition in April 1994, and moderate growth in
all product lines.

      Other industry segment sales increased 11% for the quarter on improved
shipments in almost all categories with especially strong improvements in
telecommunications and wire management products.  Operating profits increased
34% on the improved sales volume of higher margined telecommunications products
and improved operating efficiencies.  Year-to-date sales and operating profits
increased by over 20% on improved market conditions and the inclusion products
used in the building and maintenance of electric power and telephone lines.

      On a year-to-date basis, sales through the Company's International based
subsidiaries increased 29% on the strong performance of the Canadian business
and inclusion of A.B. Chance's foreign operations.  Sales from our subsidiaries
in Asia and Europe were slightly ahead of last year while Mexican shipments
declined due to the economic recession brought on by the devaluation of the
peso.  Operating income increased on the higher sales volume and operating
efficiencies of the restructured Canadian operation.  As a percentage of total
consolidated sales, International subsidiaries were 6% in 1995 and 1994 with
the Canadian market representing approximately 60% of international sales.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              SEPTEMBER  30, 1995


      Interest income, year-to-date, increased as a result of higher interest
rates.  Interest expense increased due to a higher average level of commercial
paper outstanding during the first three months of 1995 combined with higher
interest rates.  The increase in other expenses is due to the costs associated
with the expansion of the corporate owned life insurance program to include the
A.B. Chance operations.  The effective tax rate for 1995 is 27%.  In the second
quarter of 1994, the effective tax rate was increased to 27% due to the impact
of the acquisition of A.B. Chance with its higher effective tax rate.  The
Company's tax rate benefits from the lower taxes on earnings in its Puerto Rico
operations and continued emphasis on generating tax-exempt income.  Net income
and earnings per share for the third quarter increased 16% and the
year-to-date comparisons also increased by 16%.

      The Company's restructuring program is proceeding according to
management's plan.  During the quarter, the second phase of capacity expansion
in Puerto Rico to accommodate plastic molding began; transfer of equipment and
operations into the new facility in Juarez, Mexico also began and consolidation
of warehousing and distribution operations is continuing.  With the high level
of business activity, certain operational realignments have taken somewhat
longer than originally planned to minimize any adverse impact on customer
service.  At September 30, 1995, the restructuring accrual balance was
$20,213,000 of which $12,000,000 is classified as a current liability.  Through
September 30, 1995, cumulative costs charged to the restructuring accrual were
$29,787,000 as follows (in thousands):

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                              SEPTEMBER  30, 1995
                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


      At September 30, 1995, the Company's financial position remained strong
with working capital of $194.4 million and a current ratio of  1.7 to 1.

      Net cash provided by operations was comparable to prior periods and has
been more than sufficient to fund increased working capital in support of
higher sales.   Depreciation and amortization has increased reflecting the
acquisition of A.B. Chance and a higher level of depreciable assets.  As sales
volumes increased, accounts receivable increased accordingly.  To support
service levels, inventories have also increased.

      Selected portfolio securities with low dividend yields were liquidated
during the second quarter of 1995 for $36.6 million which approximated carrying
value.  Commercial paper borrowings have been reduced by $31.5 million since
December 31, 1994.  The total of commercial paper and long term debt at
September 30, 1995, was 17.0% of shareholders equity.  As referred to in the
subsequent event note, the Company issued on October 3, 1995, $100.0 million of
ten year notes with a coupon interest rate of 6 5/8%.  The proceeds from the
offering were used to reduce the amount of outstanding commercial paper.

      The Company believes that currently available cash, borrowing facilities,
and its ability to increase its credit lines if needed, combined with
internally generated funds should be more than sufficient to fund capital
expenditures as well as any increase in working capital that would be required
to accommodate a higher level of business activity.
