In the first nine months of 1994, $100,000,000 of the long-term commercial
paper balance was reclassified to short-term debt, due to earlier repayment
than was previously expected.  At September 30, 1994, the outstanding
commercial paper balance of approximately $10,000,000 is included in short-
term debt.

In July 1994, the Company canceled $150,000,000 of its $300,000,000 revolving
credit facility, which provides for borrowings under a number of options and
which may be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's option.  There
were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 1994.

For both the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1994,
continued volume growth in the construction businesses and increased penetra-
tion in a strong automotive market led to increased domestic revenues in 1994
compared with last year.  Domestic operating income and margins were higher for
both the third quarter and year-to-date 1994 as a result of this volume growth.

Internationally, revenues increased in the third quarter of 1994 compared with
last year due to increased penetration in the European automotive market and
volume gains in the European construction market.  Year-to-date 1994 revenues
increased versus 1993 primarily due to increased penetration in an advancing
European automotive market. Operating income and margins grew for both the
three-month and nine-month periods of 1994 due to volume gains and cost reduc-
tions in the construction businesses as well as improved productivity and vol-
ume gains in the European automotive businesses.

Domestically, revenues increased in the 1994 third quarter versus last year due
to increased volume in the industrial packaging group and the finishing systems
businesses.  The specialty engineered products businesses slightly moderated
revenue growth as a result of delayed shipment of some long lead-time quality
measurement machines.  For the first nine months of 1994, revenues were up in
the industrial and consumer packaging groups as well as the finishing systems
businesses, supported by a healthy domestic economy.  Operating income and
margins increased in the three months ending September 30, 1994, compared with
the same period last year due to volume gains and new product introductions in
the industrial packaging  group and continued margin improvement in the
finishing systems businesses.  The industrial and consumer packaging groups
along with the finishing systems businesses contributed to the operating income
and margin improvement for the first nine months of 1994.

Internationally, revenues increased in the three months ended September 30,
1994, versus last year as a result of volume growth in the industrial packaging
group, market share gains in the finishing systems businesses and a seasonally
healthier European beverage and food market for the consumer packaging group.
Year-to-date 1994 international revenues increased versus 1993 primarily due to
higher revenues in the industrial packaging group.  In the 1994 third quarter,
<PAGE>
operating income and margins improved largely in the finishing systems
businesses as well as the Japanese industrial packaging businesses.  Year-to-
date, the increase in operating income and margins in 1994 was primarily in
finishing systems businesses.  In the European industrial packaging businesses,
profitability was down for the first nine months of 1994 compared with last
year as a result of price pressure which slightly moderated overall operating
income and margin growth.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Operating costs as a percentage of revenues decreased to 66.7% in the first
nine months of 1994 versus 67.6% in the same period of last year. Selling,
administrative, and research and development expenses were 18.8% of revenues in
the first nine months of 1994 versus 20.2% in the first nine months of 1993.
These ratios were lower because of cost reductions as a result of a Company-
wide objective to reduce costs.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense declined to $21.1 million in the first nine months of 1994
from $27.3 million in the first nine months 1993, primarily due to a reduction
in commercial paper borrowings and foreign borrowings.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)

Other income (expense) increased to net other expense of $8.6 million in the
first nine months of 1994 from $.2 million in the first nine months of 1993.
Net other expense was $2.0 million in the third quarter of 1994 compared to net
other income of $1.6 million in the third quarter of 1993.  The year-to-date
and third quarter increases in expense are mainly due to nonrecurring costs
unrelated to operations and lower interest income, partially offset by gains on
the sale of operations and affiliates.

NET INCOME

Net income of $71.4 million ($0.63 per share) in the third quarter of 1994 was
40.1% higher than the 1993 third quarter net income of $50.9 million ($0.45 per
share).  Net income of $193.0 million ($1.70 per share) for the first nine
months of 1994 exceeded 1993 first nine months net income of $147.8 million
($1.31 per share).  For both the third quarter and first nine months of 1994, 
foreign currency had no material impact on earnings versus 1993.

Trade receivables increased primarily due to seasonally stronger domestic
revenues in the third quarter of 1994 versus the fourth quarter of 1993.
Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased at September 30, 1994, versus
December 31, 1993, due mainly to seasonal growth and an increase in accrued
retiree health care.

In the first nine months of 1994, $100,000,000 of the long-term commercial
paper balance was reclassified to short-term debt, due to earlier repayment
than was previously expected.  At September 30, 1994, the outstanding commer-
cial paper balance of approximately $10,000,000 is included in short-term debt.

In July 1994, the Company canceled $150,000,000 of its $300,000,000 revolving
credit facility, which provides for borrowings under a number of options and
which may be reduced or canceled at any time at the Company's option.  There
were no amounts outstanding under this facility as of September 30, 1994.
