                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Plan Administrator of the
Brown Printing Company
Profit Sharing Retirement Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available
for plan benefits of the BROWN PRINTING COMPANY PROFIT SHARING
RETIREMENT PLAN as of December 31, 1993 and August 31, 1993 and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the four-month period ended December 31, 1993 and the
year ended August 31, 1993.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan amd perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan
benefits of the Brown Printing Company Profit Sharing Retirement Plan
as of December 31, 1993 and August 31, 1993 and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the four-month period ended
December 31, 1993 and the year ended August 31, 1993 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.



                                          /s/ Arthur Andersen & Co.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
      Basis of Accounting -
        The accounts of the Brown Printing Company (a division of National
          Service Industries, Inc. (NSI)) Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the
          "Plan") are maintained by the trustee on the cash basis of accounting.
          The accompanying financial statements have been prepared using the
          accrual method of accounting by application of memorandum entries.

      Investment in NSI Fixed Income Fund -
        A portion of the Plan's assets were commingled in a Fixed Income Fund
          (FIF) together with the assets of pension and profit sharing plans of
          other NSI divisions. Investments of the FIF were reflected at market
          values determined by the custodian from publicly stated price
          information. These investments are subject to certain administrative
          guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of securities held.
          The net gain from investments in FIF units in the accompanying
          Statements of Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits
          reflects interest income on guaranteed investment contracts and master
          notes. On January 1, 1993, investments of this fund were reinvested in
          the NSI Defined Contribution Fixed Income Fund.

        Summarized financial information of the FIF for the period September 1,
          1992 to December 31, 1992 is presented as follows:

      Investment in NSI Defined Contribution Fixed Income Fund -
        As of January 1, 1993, the Plan's portion of the FIF assets were
          commingled in a Defined Contribution Fixed Income Fund (DC Fixed
          Income Fund) together with the assets of certain profit sharing plans
          of other NSI divisions. Investments of the DC Fixed Income Fund are
          reflected at market values determined by the custodian from publicly
          stated price information. These investments are subject to certain
          administrative guidelines and limitations as to type and amount of
          securities held. Certain fund assets are allocated to selected
          independent investment managers to invest under the general DC Fixed
          Income Fund guidelines.

        Summarized financial information of the DC Fixed Income Fund  is
          presented as follows:

      Investment in NSI Common Stock -
          As of December 31, 1993, approximately 9% of the Plan's net
          assets were invested in common stock of NSI, a party-in-
          interest. The Plan's investment in NSI common stock was
          reflected at market value in the accompanying financial
          statements.
                                        
      Tax Status -
        The Plan has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal
          Revenue Service dated September 25, 1985, and is qualified under the
          Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") as exempt from federal income
          taxes. The Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
          letter. However, the plan administrator believes that the Plan is
          currently designed and is being operated in compliance with the
          applicable requirements of the Code. Therefore, the plan administrator
          believes that the Plan was qualified and that the related trust was
          tax-exempt as of December 31, 1993.

      Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits -
        At August 31, 1993, $126,500 of net assets available for plan benefits
          were allocated to accounts of participants who have withdrawn from
          participation in the earnings and operations of the Plan. There were
          no such amounts allocated at December 31, 1993.
        
      Loans to Participants -
        The Plan permits loans to participants of up to 50% or 75% of each
          participant's vested credit, depending on the balance of the vested
          amount, not to exceed $50,000. Such loans accrue interest of 1% per
          month on the unpaid loan balance and are payable over five years
          unless the loan is for the purchase or rehabilitation of a primary
          residence, in which case the loan is subject to repayment of at least
          10% of the original loan balance each year commencing within three
          years of the date of the loan.

2. TRUST AGREEMENT:
      Under a trust agreement dated September 1, 1993, as amended, Wachovia Bank
        of Georgia, N.A. was appointed trustee of the NSI Defined Contribution
        Plans Master Trust (which includes the DC Fixed Income Fund and Common
        Stock discussed in Note 1). Certain officers of NSI were appointed
        administrators of the Plan's assets together with the income derived
        therefrom.
                                        
      Prior to September 1, 1993, the assets of the Plan were included in the
        NSI General Retirement Trust (GRT). Under a trust agreement dated March
        1, 1978, certain officers of NSI were appointed trustee of the GRT and
        were administrators of the Plan's assets and Wachovia Bank of Georgia
        was the custodian.

3. PLAN DESCRIPTION:
      The following brief description of the Plan is provided for informational
        purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for more
        complete information.
          
      The Plan incorporates the required standards under ERISA, as modified from
        time to time. The Plan is a voluntary, defined contribution plan
        covering employees of Brown Printing Company (the "Company") with 90 or
        more days of service. Prior to January 1, 1994,no contributions were
        required or permitted by participants. Contributions were made by the
        Company in an amount equal to 10% of annual net income, as defined, of
        the Company, provided that this amount does not exceed 5% of the
        compensation of all participants in the Plan on the last day of the Plan
        year. The plan agreement further provides that the contribution may be
        increased by any additional discretionary amount determined by the Board
        of Directors of NSI as long as the total contribution does not exceed
        15% of the compensation of participants plus any permissible carryovers
        allowed as deductions for income tax purposes. All expenses of the Plan
        were paid by the Company during 1993 and 1992. Vesting of contributions
        occurs on an increasing scale ranging from 20% after three years of
        service, as defined, to 100% vesting after seven years of service.
      
      During December, 1993, the Plan was amended and restated to allow
        participant directed investments effective January 1, 1994. In addition,
        the Plan year end was changed from August 31 to December 31. Thus, the
        accompanying financial statements are for the year ended August 31, 1993
        and the four month period in the short plan year ended December 31,
        1993. The Plan, as amended and restated, does not permit employer
        contributions during the short plan year.

      Although the Company intends for the Plan to be permanent, the Plan
        provides that the Company has the right to discontinue contributions or
        to terminate the Plan at any time. In the event of termination, each
        participant shall be entitled to receive any amounts then credited to
        their account.
