PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General-
- -------
Illinois Tool Works Inc. (the "Company") was founded in 1912 and incorporated
in 1915. The Company manufactures and markets a variety of products and systems
that provide specific, problem-solving solutions for a diverse customer base
worldwide. The Company has more than 300 operations in 34 countries. The
Company's business units are divided into two segments: Engineered Components,
and Industrial Systems and Consumables. Products in the Company's Engineered
Components segment include short lead-time plastic and metal components,
fasteners and assemblies; industrial fluids and adhesives; fastening tools and
welding products. Industrial Systems and Consumables' products include longer
lead-time systems and related consumables for consumer and industrial packaging;
marking, labeling and identification systems; industrial spray coating equipment
and systems; and quality assurance equipment and systems.
In the first quarter of 1993, the Company acquired the Miller Group Ltd., a
manufacturer of arc welding equipment, through an exchange of ITW voting Common
Stock for all of the voting Common Stock of Miller. As a result, the acquisition
has been accounted for as a pooling of interests in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles, specifically paragraphs 46 through 48 of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 16. Accordingly, the results of
operations have been included in the Statement of Income as of the beginning of
1993. The impact of Miller on consolidated operating revenues, net income and
net income per share for 1993 and 1992 was not significant. Therefore, the 1992
financial statements have not been restated to reflect the acquisition of
Miller.
In early 1996, the Company acquired all of the common stock of Hobart Brothers
Company ("Hobart") in exchange for shares of ITW voting common stock. The
acquisition will be accounted for as a pooling of interests in accordance with
APB No. 16. For the two months ended February 29, 1996, combined operating
revenues for the Company and Hobart were $731,843,000 and combined net income
was $60,511,000.
During the five-year period ending December 31, 1995, the Company acquired and
disposed of numerous operations, none of which individually had a material
impact on consolidated results.

Operating results of the segments are described on pages 20, 21 and 26 of the
Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
Backlog-
Backlog generally is not considered a significant factor in the Company's
businesses as relatively short delivery periods and rapid inventory turnover are
characteristic of many of its products.

The following summarizes backlog by industry segment as of December 31, 1995
and 1994:

</TABLE>
Backlog orders scheduled for shipment beyond calendar year 1996 were not
material in either industry segment as of December 31, 1995.
The following information is equally applicable to both industry segments of
the business unless otherwise noted:
Competition-
The Company's global competitive environment is complex because of the wide
diversity of products the Company manufactures and the markets it serves.
Depending on the product or market, the Company may compete with few other
companies or with many firms, some of which may be the Company's own licensees.
The Company is a leading producer of plastic and metal fastening components
and assemblies; adhesives and fluids; packaging systems and related consumables;
finishing and static control systems and products; quality measurement
equipment; tooling for specialty applications; and arc welding equipment and
related systems.
Raw Materials-
The Company uses raw materials of various types, primarily metals and
plastics that are available from numerous commercial sources. The availability
of materials and energy has not resulted in any business interruptions or other
major problems, nor are any such problems anticipated.
Research and Development-
The Company's growth has resulted from developing new and improved products,
broadening the application of established products, continuing efforts to
improve and develop new methods, processes and equipment, and from acquisitions.
Many new products are designed to reduce customers' costs by eliminating steps
in their manufacturing processes, reducing the number of parts in an assembly,
or by improving the quality of customers' assembled products. Typically, the
development of such products is accomplished by working closely with customers
on specific applications. Identifiable research and development costs are set
forth on page 27 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders.
4
<PAGE>
The Company owns approximately 1,664 unexpired United States patents covering
articles, methods and machines. Many counterparts of these patents have also
been obtained in various foreign countries. In addition, the Company has
approximately 395 applications for patents pending in the United States Patent
Office, but there is no assurance that any patent will be issued. The Company
maintains an active patent department for the administration of patents and
processing of patent applications.
The Company licenses some of its patents to other companies, from which the
Company collects royalties. The Company believes that many of its patents are
valuable and important. Nevertheless, the Company credits its leadership in the
markets it serves to engineering capability; manufacturing techniques, skills
and efficiency; marketing and sales promotion; and service and delivery of
quality products to its customers.
Trademarks-
- ----------
Many of the Company's products are sold under various trademarks owned or
licensed by the Company. Among the most significant are: ITW, Signode, Apex,
Buildex, Deltar, Devcon, DeVilbiss, Fastex, Hi-Cone, Hobart, Keps, Magnaflux,
Miller, Minigrip, Newtec, Oxo, Paktron, Paslode, Powcon, Ramset, Ransburg, Red
Head, Shakeproof, Teks, Tenax and Zip-Pak.
Environmental Protection-
- ------------------------
The Company believes that its plants and equipment are in substantial
compliance with applicable environmental regulations. Additional measures to
maintain compliance are not expected to materially affect the Company's capital
expenditures, competitive position, financial position or results of operations.
Various legislative and administrative regulations concerning environmental
issues have become effective or are under consideration in many parts of the
world relating to manufacturing processes, and the sale or use of certain
products. To date, such developments have not had a substantial adverse impact
on the Company's sales or earnings. The Company has made considerable efforts to
develop and sell environmentally compatible products resulting in new and
expanding marketing opportunities.
Employees-
- ---------
The Company employed approximately 21,200 persons as of December 31, 1995 and
considers its employee relations to be excellent.
5
<PAGE>
International-
- -------------
The Company's international operations include subsidiaries, joint ventures
and licensees in 34 countries on six continents. These operations serve such
markets as automotive, food and beverage, construction, general industrial,
industrial capital goods and others on a worldwide basis. The Company's
international subsidiaries contributed approximately 38% and 36% of operating
revenues in 1995 and 1994, respectively.
Refer to pages 20 through 22 in the Company's 1995 Annual Report to
Stockholders for additional information on international activities.
International operations are subject to certain risks inherent in conducting
business in foreign countries, including price controls, exchange controls,
limitations on participation in local enterprises, nationalization,
expropriation and other governmental action, and changes in currency exchange
rates.

appointments or titles. The chairman shall report such appointments to the
Compensation Committee at least annually.

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS
EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS
SECTION 1. NON-DERIVATIVE ACTIONS AND CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. To
the extent permitted by applicable law from time to time in effect, the
corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to
be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or
proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that he
is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or
was serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner
he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any
action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a
presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he
reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had
reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.
SECTION 2. DERIVATIVE ACTIONS. The corporation shall indemnify any
person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any
threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the
corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is
or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was
serving at the request of the corporation as a Director, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other
enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably
incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or
suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no
indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to
which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or
misconduct in the performance of his duty to the corporation unless and only to
the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall
determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in
view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably
entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
-16-
<PAGE>
SECTION 3. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. To the extent that a
Director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation has been successful on
the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to
in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter
therein, he shall be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection
therewith.
SECTION 4. WHERE NO ADJUDICATION. Any indemnification under
Sections 1 and 2 of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by
the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination
that indemnification of the Director, officer, employee or agent is proper in
the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set
forth in said Sections 1 and 2. Such determination shall be made (i) by the
Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors who
were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) if such a quorum is
not obtainable, or, even if obtainable and a quorum of disinterested Directors
so directs, by independent legal counsel (compensated by the corporation) in a
written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.
SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or
criminal action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of
the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the
Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the Director, officer, employee or agent to repay such amount unless
it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the
corporation as authorized in this Article.
SECTION 6. NON-EXCLUSIVE. The indemnification provided by this
Article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his
official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such
office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director,
officer, employee, or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
SECTION 7. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or
agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation
as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against
him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as
such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him
against such liability under the provisions of this Article or of applicable
law.

of Directors, shall be numbered and shall be entered in the books of the

of shares and shall be signed by the chairman, the chairman of the Executive
Committee, or a vice president and the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or
the secretary or an assistant secretary, and shall be sealed with the seal of
the corporation. If a stock certificate is countersigned (a) by a transfer
agent other than the corporation or its employee, or (b) by a registrar other
than the corporation or its employee, any other signature on the certificate may
be a facsimile. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed
or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have
ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate
is issued,
-18-
<PAGE>
it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such
officer, transfer agent or regis-trar at the date of issue.
SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may from time
to time make such provision as it deems appropriate for the replacement of lost,
stolen or destroyed stock certificates, including the requirement to furnish an
affidavit and an indemnity.
SECTION 3. TRANSFERS OF STOCK. Upon surrender to the corporation
or the transfer agent of the corporation of a stock certificate duly endorsed or
accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment of authority to
transfer, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to
the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the
transaction upon the books of the corporation. The person in whose name shares
of stock stand on the books of the corporation shall be deemed the owner thereof
for all purposes as regards the corporation.

provisions of these by-laws or under the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation or under the provisions of The General Corporation Law of

equivalent to the giving of such notice. Attendance of any person at a meeting
for which any notice whatever is required to be given under the provisions of
these by-laws, the Certificate of Incorporation or The General Corporation Law
of Delaware shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the
person attends for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the
meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully
called or convened.

Exhibit 10(j)
Directors' Compensation
Compensation for non-employee directors has three components, the first being
paid in cash and the remaining two being tied to the Company's common stock.
First, a $25,000 annual retainer is paid, together with an attendance fee of
$1,000 for each Board of Directors' meeting and committee meeting. (Committee
Chairmen receive an additional $600 for each meeting chaired.) The Company's
deferred fee plan permits non-employee directors to defer receipt of all or any
part of their fees. Amounts deferred are credited with interest at current rates
and are paid after an individual ceases to be a director.
Second, since 1992 the directors' compensation plan has linked a portion of
their compensation directly with the interest of the stockholders. In 1995
incumbent non-officer directors received 900 shares of the Company's Common
Stock pursuant to a restricted stock grant program. One-third of these shares
vested on January 2, 1996 and the remaining two-thirds will vest equally on the
first business day of 1997 and 1998, except that all shares vest on the date of
death or retirement. The 300 shares that vested on January 2, 1996 were worth
$17,663 on such date. Under the program a non-officer director who joins the
Board between January 3, 1995 and January 2, 1998 will receive on the first
business day of January following election a grant of 300 shares for each full
year of service remaining during such period. The shares granted to the
directors pursuant to this program are included in the table under "Security
Ownership," as are shares under the 1992 program.
Third, the Company adopted in 1995 a phantom stock plan for non-officer
directors which grants to each such director 1,000 units of phantom stock. Each
unit is equal in value to the market value of one share of the Company's common
stock. The phantom stock account is credited with additional units in an amount
equivalent to dividends on the Company's Common Stock and is adjusted for any
stock dividends, stock splits, combinations or similar changes. (Certain long-
term directors with short remaining service periods until retirement received a
higher number.) The phantom stock units granted to eligible directors pursuant
to this plan are included in the table under Security Ownership. A director is
eligible for a cash distribution from his or her phantom stock account at
retirement or approved resignation in the form of a lump sum or up to ten annual
installments as elected by the director at the time of grant. In addition, the
value of each director's phantom stock account will be distributed immediately
to the director in the event of a corporate change of control, as defined in
"Proposal to Approve 1996 Stock Incentive Plan."
In 1995 the Company discontinued its directors' retirement plan for incumbent
and future non-officer directors. Each of the eight surviving non-officer
directors who retired prior to 1995 will continue to receive an annual payment
during his lifetime equal to one-half of the annual retainer paid at retirement
so long as such director serves the Company in an advisory capacity and refrains
from any activity adverse to the best interests of the Company.
Harold B. Smith has entered into a one-year agreement with the Company
providing for a consulting fee of $85,000. After his retirement from the Company
on March 31, 1995, H. Richard Crowther served on a transitional basis until June
30, 1995 at a retainer of $5,000 per month.

(1) The dollar amounts under these columns are the result of calculations at
0% and at the 5% and 10% rates set by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. They are therefore not intended to forecast possible future
appreciation, if any, of the Company's Common Stock price and reflect
neither the income tax liability of the individual recipients nor the time
value of money. The Company did not use
8
<PAGE>
an alternative formula for a grant date valuation as the Company is not
aware of any formula which will determine with reasonable accuracy a
present value based on future unknown or volatile factors.
(2) These grants become exercisable as to 25% of the shares underlying the
options on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant, and are
generally fully exercisable after the first anniversary in the event of
retirement, disability or death. A restorative option right as described
under the section "Proposal to Approve 1996 Stock Incentive Plan" applies
to these grants so long as the option holder is employed by the Company.

RETIREMENT PLANS
The Company's principal non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covers
employees of participating business units. Executive Officers participate in
this plan on the same basis as do approximately 10,000 other eligible
employees. Benefit amounts are based on years of service and average monthly
compensation for the five highest consecutive years out of the last ten years
of employment. The following table illustrates the maximum estimated annual
benefits to be paid upon normal retirement at age 65 to individuals in
specified compensation and years of service classifications. The table does
not reflect the limitations contained in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 on
benefit accruals under the Pension Plan. Under a plan adopted by the Board of
Directors, supplemental payments in excess of those limitations will be made
to participants designated by the Compensation Committee in order to maintain
benefits upon retirement at the levels provided under the Pension Plan's
formula.
