                                      ---

                    SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES CASH TENDER OFFER
                      FOR SHARES OF HOLOPHANE CORPORATION

                                      ---

      Atlanta, GA -- National Service Industries (NYSE:NSI) today announced that
its cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock of Holophane
Corporation expired, as scheduled, at 12:00 midnight, Eastern standard time, on
Friday, July 23, 1999. NSI, through its subsidiary making the offer, has
accepted for purchase all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the
expiration of the offer. Based on information provided by First Chicago Trust
Company of New York, as depositary, approximately 10.3 million shares of
Holophane have been acquired by NSI (including approximately 0.3 million shares
subject to guarantee of delivery) out of approximately 10.6 million shares
currently outstanding. Approximately 0.3 million shares remained untendered as
of the expiration of the tender offer.

      As a result of the foregoing, NSI has acquired more than 90 percent of
Holophane's outstanding shares, thereby permitting the second step of the
acquisition without a meeting of Holophane's stockholders. In the second step of
the acquisition, Holophane will be merged with a subsidiary of NSI and each
Holophane share not previously purchased in the tender offer will be converted
into the right to receive $38.50 in cash. The completion of the merger is
expected to occur on or about Thursday, July 29, 1999.

      Certain information contained in this press release may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and actual
results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements. Factors that could cause results to differ are set forth in the
Schedule 14D-1 filed by NSI with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June
25, 1999.

      National Service Industries, Inc., with fiscal year 1998 sales of $2.0
billion, has four business segments -- lighting equipment, chemicals, textile
rental, and envelopes. NSI has reported increased income and earnings per share
in 35 of the last 37 years. Dividends have been increased for 37 consecutive
years and paid for the past 63 years without a decrease.
