                 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 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1996.

NOTE B.  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
Stock Incentive Plans is not material.

             Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis
                   of Financial Condition and Results
                             of Operations


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
National Sanitary Supply Company reported net income for the first quarter ended
March 31, 1996 of $832,000, a 10% increase over net income of $759,000 reported
in the prior-year first quarter.  Earnings per share of $.14 in the first
quarter of 1996 increased 8% over earnings per share of $.13 reported in the
comparable prior-year quarter.  Sales of $77,277,000 for the first quarter of
1996 were 4% below sales of $80,793,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  The sales
decline reflects the previously announced loss of a large fast-food customer
during the first quarter of 1996.  Earnings growth benefited from the combi-
nation of an increase in the core sanitary maintenance business, especially in
the western operations; lower operating expenses; and a significant increase in
cash flow due to a reduction in working capital.

National's first quarter 1996 gross profit margin of 32.2% increased from 31.5%
in the first quarter of 1995 primarily due to the loss of the low-margin sales
to the large fast-food customer.

Operating expenses decreased 2% during the first quarter of 1996 compared with
the prior year reflecting the loss of the large fast-food account as well as new
programs to control expenses.

The decrease in interest expense from Chemed Corporation ("Chemed") from
$662,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $430,000 in the first quarter of 1996
reflects lower short-term interest rates and a reduction in Chemed debt.  From
March 31, 1995 to March 31, 1996 Chemed debt decreased $9,681,000. 

The effective tax rate increased from 44.5% during the first quarter of 1995 to 
44.8% during the first quarter of 1996, primarily due to higher profits in
states with higher tax rates.

Liquidity and capital resources
- -------------------------------
The decrease in accounts receivable, inventories, and accounts payable reflects
the loss of the large fast-food account.  The cash flow from these accounts was
used primarily to repay loans payable to Chemed which decreased $4,428,000 from 
$6,989,000 at December 31, 1995 to $2,561,000 at March 31, 1996.
  
Management believes that the company's cash flow from operations and other
sources of liquidity are sufficient for its needs.

(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.
