balance sheet as of August 31, 1993 has been derived from audited
statements. These statements reflect all adjustments,  all of which are of
a normal, recurring nature, which are, in the opinion of management, 
necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position  as of  May
31,  1994,  the consolidated results of operations for the three months and
nine months ended May 31,  1994 and 1993, and the consolidated cash flows
for the nine months ended May 31,  1994 and 1993.   Certain information 
and  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance  with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted.  The company believes that the disclosures are
adequate to make the information  presented  not  misleading. It is
suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the company's Annual
Report on  Form  10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1993.

The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended  May
31,  1994 are  not  necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full fiscal  year  because the company's  revenues  and income  are
 generally higher in the second half of its fiscal year and because of the 
uncertainty of general business conditions.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes.

Financial Condition

National  Service Industries maintained a strong financial position as it
completed the third quarter of fiscal 1994.  Net working capital was $338.5
million, compared with  $313.2 million at August 31, 1993, and the current
ratio was 2.4, compared with 2.3 at year end.  Cash and short-term
investments were $48.6 million, up from $20.6 million at the prior year
end.  For the nine months ended May 31, 1994, the company invested $30.5
million in capital expenditures and acquisitions.  Long- term debt and
other long-term liabilities were 7.1 percent of total capitalization,
compared with 7.3 percent at August 31, 1993. Cash provided by operations
rose to $103.0 million from $70.1 million for the nine months last  year. 
The improvement resulted from working capital increases, primarily in
receivable and prepaid income tax reductions.

Capital  expenditures, exclusive of acquisition spending, were $30.1
million for the nine months this year and $22.0 million for the prior-year
period.  Current-year spending was primarily the result of facilities and
manufacturing process improvements in the lighting equipment division,
facilities additions and information systems enhancements in the chemical
division, and wastewater compliance projects and fleet upgrades in the
textile rental division.  Prior-year spending was attributable to
information systems enhancements in the lighting equipment division,
capacity expansion in the chemical division, and cost reduction
expenditures in each of these and the textile rental division.

Acquisition spending of $95.4 million for the three quarters last year
resulted from the chemical division's acquisitions of Kleen Canada, Inc., a
Canadian manufacturer of specialty chemicals, and Graham International, a
privately held, European specialty chemical business, and the textile
rental division's acquisition of Initial Services Investments, Inc., an
industrial uniform and dust control business.

Dividend payments  for the nine months totaled $39.7 million, or 80 cents
per share, compared with $38.2 million, or 77 cents per share, for the nine
months.  The quarterly dividend rate was increased 3.8 percent to 27 cents
per share effective January, 1994.

For the periods presented, capital expenditures, working capital needs,
dividends, and acquisitions were financed primarily with internally
generated funds, supplemented by short-term borrowings in the European
market.  The Initial acquisition was a cash transaction.  The Graham
acquisition in Europe was funded primarily through short-term debt
financing, which was repaid during the remainder of the 1993 fiscal year. 
Contractual commitments for capital spending during the coming twelve
months total $9 million.  For the current fiscal year, the company expects
actual capital expenditures to be consistent with levels of recent years,
which were $36 million in 1993, $43 million in 1992, and $58 million in
1991.  Current liquid assets and internally generated funds are expected to
be more than adequate to meet anticipated cash requirements for the next
twelve months, although some interim borrowings might be incurred to meet
short-term needs.  The company has complimentary lines of credit totaling
$124 million, of which $82 million has been provided domestically and $42
million is available on a multi-currency basis primarily from a European
bank.

Results of Operations

Net income of National Service Industries rose 11.8 percent, from $20.5
million the prior-year quarter, to $22.9 million in the company's third
fiscal quarter which ended May 31, 1994.  Sales for the period increased
4.6 percent to $481 million, compared with $460 million the prior year. 
Earnings per share gained 11.7 percent to 46 cents from last year's 41
cents.

Year-to-date results for the nine months ended May 31 indicated that sales
increased 4.5 percent to $1.38 billion.  Net income of $58.4 million led to
earnings of $1.18 per share.  Both income measures represented 8.6 percent
increases from the $53.7 million and $1.08 per share reported last year.

The lighting equipment division continued to lead NSI's operatons in the
third quarter as further market share gains were posted.  Sales increased
10.7 percent to $192.1 million for the quarter and 10.6 percent to $548.0
million year to date on the strength of increased unit sales. 
Non-fluorescent product lines were particularly strong.  Operating profit
grew 39.5 percent for the quarter to 6.9 percent of revenues, up from 5.5
percent last year, and rose 32.5 percent for the nine months to 6.3 percent
of revenues, from 5.3 percent the prior year to date.  Profit improvements
were largely the result of higher unit volumes.

Results in the textile rental sector were somewhat disappointing as the
quarter's revenues of $140.4 million were flat compared with the prior year
and year-to-date revenues of $406.1 million were a slight decline . 
Textile rental demand has not firmed in any meaningful way this year, and
heathcare rental revenue has been weak.  Operating profit declined to 10.8
percent of revenues for the quarter and 9.2 percent year to date, compared
with 11.8 percent and 9.4 percent in the comparable periods last year, 
primarily due to higher merchandise costs and a prior- year gain on the
sale of a business.

Sales of the chemical segment increased 3.3 percent to $85.8 million for
the third quarter and 4.7 percent to $243.6 million for the nine months due
to pricing gains. Domestic sales have shown satisfactory increases,
however, international demand has been soft.  Operating profit was 9.2
percent of revenues for the quarter and 9.7 percent for the year to date,
slightly below the respective prior-year periods.  Canadian operations in
particular dampened chemical segment results.

NSI's other businesses combined for a 45.8 percent quarterly increase in
operating income on a small sales decline; year-to-date results
deteriorated minimally.  Insulation services rebounded sharply in the
quarter, and the envelope division added to the gains achieved in the first
half of the fiscal year.

Corporate income was less than last year's third quarter and nine months
due primarily to reduced investment income resulting from both lower rates
and lower average investment levels. Interest expense was somewhat less
than both prior-year periods due to reductions in acquisition-related debt.

Consolidated income before taxes improved 12.7 percent for the quarter and
10.0 percent for the year to date.  The improvement in net income was
reduced to 11.8 percent and 8.6 percent for the respective periods due to
the higher 1994 tax rate.  The provision for income taxes was 37.8 percent
of pretax income for both the third quarter and the nine months, compared
with 37.3 percent and 37.0 percent for the comparable prior-year periods.
The 1994 rate was increased as a result of the Omnibus Budget Act of 1993. 
Changes in the year-to-year effective rates also result from variation in
the relative amount of tax exempt income.
