              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, of a normal
     recurring nature, necessary to present fairly its financial position as at
     March 31, 1995 and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for
     the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.  The condensed consolidated
     balance sheet at December 31, 1994 was derived from audited financial
     statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
     accepted accounting principles.  Earnings per share are calculated based on
     the weighted average common shares outstanding.

B.   Other (income) expense, net consists of the following, in thousands:

Item 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF 
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


FIRST QUARTER 1995 VERSUS FIRST QUARTER 1994

     Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased 17 percent to
$1,226 million from $1,050 million in the comparable period in 1994.  Home
Improvement and Building Products sales increased 16 percent for the three 
months ended March 31, 1995 from the comparable period in 1994. Home 
Furnishings Products sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 
increased 17 percent from the comparable period in 1994.  After adjusting for
recent acquisitions, net sales of Home Improvement and Building Products 
increased 13 percent and net sales of Home Furnishings Products increased 
five percent.

     Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 66.5 percent for both of the
1995 and 1994 first quarters.  Selling, general and administrative expenses as
a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 decreased to
21.3 percent from 21.9 percent in the comparable period in 1994.  

     The Company's operating profit margins continued to improve in the 1995
first quarter, with major product lines benefitting primarily from increased
sales and profit improvement programs.  

     Included in other (income) expense, net for the three months ended 
March 31, 1995 are equity earnings from MascoTech, Inc. of $3.8 million as 
compared with equity earnings of $7.4 million in the comparable period in 
1994.  Also included in other (income) expense for the three months ended 
March 31, 1995, was a $15.9 million gain from the sale of the Company's 
investment in Formica Corporation; this gain was offset by charges and 
reserves for profit improvement programs and asset disposals that should 
enhance the Company's future performance.  Also included in other (income) 
expense for the three months ended March 31, 1994 was a $4.4 million gain 
from the sale of MascoTech stock.

     Net income for the first quarter of 1995 increased 14 percent to
$74.4 million from $65.3 million in the comparable period in 1994, and earnings
per share increased 12 percent to $.47 from $.42. Excluding the 1994 MascoTech
stock gain and equity earnings from affiliates in both first quarters, net 
income would have increased 23 percent.

     While higher interest rates have resulted in lower residential construction
activity and a moderation in consumer spending resulting in lower demand for
some of our products, the Company continues to anticipate improved sales and
operating profit for 1995.

     At March 31, 1995 current assets were three times current liabilities. 
First quarter 1995 cash from operations was affected by an expected and 
recurring first quarter increase in accounts receivable.  As the annual 
increase in accounts receivable is historically experienced in the first 
quarter, cash from operations in the remaining three quarters of 1995 should
not be affected by significant increases in accounts receivable.  The Company 
believes that its cash from operations and, to the extent necessary, future 
financial market activities and bank borrowings, are sufficient to fund its
working capital and other investment needs.  

     The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, an
unallocated shelf registration pursuant to which the Company is able to issue up
to a combined $759.4 million of debt and equity securities.
