            ITW Reports Record Revenues for 1999 Fourth Quarter
                    And Full Year; Net Income Grows 11%
                  Before 4th Quarter Merger Related Costs

       GLENVIEW, ILLINOIS-- (February 1, 2000)-Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW)
today reported record revenues for the 1999 fourth quarter and full year as a
result of improving base business growth and ongoing acquisition activity.  Net
income for the 1999 fourth quarter increased 11 percent before nonrecurring
transaction and compensation costs associated with the November 23, 1999 merger
with Premark International, Inc.

     For the 1999 fourth quarter, net income before the one time charge was
82 cents per share versus 74 cents on a restated basis for prior year
period. As a result of merger related costs, 1999 fourth quarter net income
was reduced to 59 cents per share. For full year 1999, net income before
the nonrecurring charge was $2.99 per share, a 12 percent increase compared
to a restated $2.66 in the prior year. Including the one-time charge,
full-year net income was a record $841 million, or $2.76 per share, a four
percent increase.

     Operating revenues increased 10 percent to $2.5 billion in the fourth
quarter and 11 percent to $9.3 billion for the full year. While operating
income increased 7 percent to $1.4 billion for the full year, operating
income grew 14 percent before merger related costs.

     "We are pleased with both our operating performance and our
acquisition program during 1999," said W. James Farrell, ITW's chairman and
chief executive officer. "Our base business growth rate was 4 percent in
the fourth quarter and 3 percent for the full year. As to acquisitions, we
completed 28 smaller transactions representing nearly $900 million in
revenues for the full year. As important, the process by which we will
improve the newly acquired food equipment and Wilsonart businesses is
underway. This ongoing process further validates our belief that these
operations will be strong additions to our more than 500 worldwide units."

       Segment highlights for the 1999 fourth quarter include:

     North American Engineered Products revenues increased 16 percent due
to acquisition activity and strong base business growth in the automotive,
construction and consumer packaging businesses. Operating income grew 14
percent largely as a result of revenue growth in the above businesses. For
the full year, revenues and operating income increased 16 percent and 18
percent, respectively.

     International Engineered Products revenues grew 28 percent and
operating income increased 14 percent primarily due to acquisitions as well
as contributions from base automotive and polymers businesses. Margins were
negatively impacted by restructuring costs in a number of European
businesses. Revenues were up 28 percent and operating income increased 4
percent for full-year 1999.

     North American Specialty Systems revenues increased 11 percent due to
contributions from base businesses and acquisitions. The base business grew
at its fastest rate in nearly two years, with welding, industrial
packaging, finishing and food equipment businesses all contributing to
growth. Operating income increased 15 percent thanks to improved operating
efficiencies in a variety of businesses. This translated into a 70 basis
point improvement in margins. For the full year, revenues and operating
income grew 9 percent and 15 percent, respectively.

     While International Specialty Systems revenues declined 3 percent,
operating income increased 18 percent. The 210 basis point improvement in
margins was primarily attributable to better productivity in the consumer
and industrial packaging businesses as well as finishing operations.
Revenues and operating income were essentially flat for the full year.

     Consumer products revenues were down 4 percent and operating income
declined significantly as a result of accounting adjustments at Florida
Tile. For the full year, revenues increased 3 percent and operating income
grew 19 percent.

     Leasing and investments operating income was down 19 percent, largely as a
result of strong gains on sales of assets from the prior year period. For
the full year, operating income grew 26 percent.
