                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                               (unaudited)


NOTE A.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X.  Consequently, they do not
include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of the
management of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National"), the financial
statements presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
results of operations and cash flows of National and its subsidiaries for the
periods indicated.  For additional information concerning the accounting
policies of National, refer to the consolidated financial statements included 
in the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1994.

NOTE B.  Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with  maturities of
three months or less when purchased.

NOTE C.  Earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective
periods.  The dilution that would result from shares issuable under National's
1986 and 1988 Stock Incentive Plans is not material.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
National Sanitary Supply Company's sales for the third quarter ended September
30, 1994 were $81,232,000, a 3% increase over sales of $78,598,000 in the third
quarter of 1993.  Net income for the third quarter of 1994 was $1,654,000, a 10%
increase over net income of $1,509,000 reported in the prior year third quarter.
Earnings per share of $.28 for the third quarter of 1994 increased 8% over
earnings per share of $.26 reported in the comparable prior-year quarter.

National's third quarter sales improved in most locations throughout the 
National system.  Sales in the large Southern California operation continued
to show improvement as this region continues to recover from the January 1994
earthquake.
Product line sales were led by sales of equipment, plastic trash liners, and
foodservice products.  The industry-wide deflationary pricing in the high-
volume, commodity-oriented, paper and trash liner product lines slowed
significantly in the third quarter.  Prices in these product lines for the
fourth quarter are expected to be up over the same period of the prior year for
the first time in several years.  National's third quarter 1994 gross profit
margin was unchanged from the prior year.

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales in the third quarter of 1994 were
the same as in the third quarter of 1993, reflecting tight control over most
expense categories. Interest expense to Chemed Corporation ("Chemed"),
National's parent company, increased from $542,000 in the third quarter of 1993
to $618,000 in the third quarter of 1994.  This increase primarily results from
the additional funds necessary to purchase two Los Angeles, California
facilities during the second quarter of 1994 at a total cost of $3,282,000.
These facilities had been previously leased from the former owners of National
since 1983.  The leases had included options to purchase the facilities at the
fair market value as of November 1983.  

The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 1994 was 39.9% compared with
41.7% for the third quarter of 1993.  The decline primarily reflects lower state
taxes in the southwestern part of the country due to the reorganization of the
capital structure of the Company's Century Papers, Inc. subsidiary.

For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, National sales of $229,667,000
increased 3% over sales of $223,226,000 in the comparable period of 1993.  Net
income for the first nine months of 1994 was $3,332,000, a 12% increase over the
prior-year nine-month net income of $2,960,000.  Earnings per share were $.56
for the first nine months of 1994 compared with $.50 for the first nine months
of 1993.

The sales improvement for the first 9 months of 1994 reflects increased sales of
equipment, foodservice and higher margin proprietary chemical products.  The
gross profit margin for the first nine months of 1994 experienced a small
decline of .2% point reflecting the additional sales of low margin foodservice
products. Operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the first nine months
of 1994 dropped .3% point reflecting the continued emphasis on cost containment.

National's efective tax rate for the first nine months decreased from 43.3% in
1993 to 41.8% in 1994.  The decrease was due primarily to lower state taxes in
the southwestern part of the country.

Looking ahead, management continues to be optimistic about our future sales and
profit growth.  Management is particularly encouraged by the continued sales
improvement in the large Southern California market.  Profits should continue to
be bolstered by very low operating expense increases.

Liquidity and capital resources
- - -------------------------------
Accounts receivable increased from $36,607,000 at December 31, 1993 to
$40,681,000 at September 30, 1994.  The increase primarily reflects the
additional sales volume recorded in the third quarter of 1994 compared with the
fourth quarter of 1993.  The decrease in the allowance for doubtful accounts,
from $1,290,000 at December 31, 1993 to $1,190,000 at September 30, 1994,
reflects a decline in our past due receivables.  The decrease in inventory from
$26,955,000 at December 31, 1993 to $26,690,000 at September 30, 1994 results
from the year-end purchase of selected items in order to avoid price increases
and achieve certain discount quotas.  The increase in accounts payable at
September 30, 1994 compared with December 31, 1993 primarily reflects the timing
of certain inventory purchases and scheduled payments.

Management believes that the company's cash flow from operations and other
sources of liquidity are sufficient for its needs.

Subsequent Events
- - -----------------

National named Dwight Jackson as the new General Manager of Century Papers.
Mr. Jackson brings with him extensive industry experience, primarily with Scott
Paper Company where he most recently served as Director of Sales for Scott
Paper's Southwest Division.  Additionally, Donald Pagel has been promoted to
General Manager of the Company's Midwest operating group.  Mr. Pagel has an
extensive background in sales and operations, most recently serving as
National's Area Manager - Central California.

<F1>
(a)  This calculation is submitted in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of
1934.  Because the incremental effect of unexercised stock options results in dilution
of less than 3%, the per share data presented in the consolidated statement of income
excludes the impact of common stock equivalents.
