Pension and Profit Sharing Committee
Federated Department Stores, Inc.
Joseph Horne Co., Inc. Thrift Incentive Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets
available for benefits of the Joseph Horne Co., Inc. Thrift
Incentive Plan as of December 31, 1994 and the related statement
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year then
ended.  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 audit.  The
accompanying financial statements of the Joseph Horne Co., Inc.
Thrift Incentive Plan as of December 31, 1993, were audited by
other auditors whose report thereon dated December 2, 1994,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that we plan and
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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1994 financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1994 and
the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules of Investments and Reportable Transactions are
presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not a
required part of the basic financial statements, but are
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund
Information in the statements of net assets available for
benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the net assets available for plan benefits
and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each
fund.  The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated
in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

1.Description of Plan

  The following brief description of Joseph Horne Co., Inc.
  Thrift Incentive Plan (the "Plan") is provided for general
  information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the
  Plan document for more complete information.

  General

  The Plan is sponsored by Federated Department Stores, Inc.
  (the "Company") which acquired the Joseph Horne Co., Inc.
  ("Horne's"), the former sponsor of the Plan, on May 26, 1994.
  The Plan, established as of July 1, 1987, is a defined
  contribution plan and is subject to the provisions of the
  Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

  Eligibility and Vesting

  Employees are generally eligible for participation in the Plan
  after one year of service of at least 1,000 hours.
  Participants are fully vested in the value of their
  contributions at all times.  Participants become vested in
  their allocated share of employer contributions in 20%
  increments after two years and become fully vested after six
  years of credited service.

  Participants Accounts

  Plan participants may make regular pre-tax contributions of 2%
  to 6% of their salaries or wages.  Participants may direct
  their contributions to one or several investment fund options
  subject to allocation limitations set forth in the Plan.
  Changes in allocation of future contributions and transfers of
  presently invested contributions between funds are permitted
  pursuant to the Plan provisions.

  The employer may match participants' contributions and credit
  the participants accounts on a monthly basis, reduced by
  forfeitures of nonvested Plan participants. After January
  1994, Horne's elected to discontinue its employer
  contribution.

  Loans

  Loans may be granted subject to specified limitations and only
  against that portion of a participant's account that is
  vested.  Loans are collateralized by the vested portion of the
  participant's account and repayments are made through payroll
  deductions.  All loans bear interest at the prime rate plus
  two percentage points on the first day of the calendar quarter
  in which the note is signed.



                                                                  (Continued)

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  a)Basis of Presentation
  
    The accompanying financial statements of the Plan have been
     prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
  
  b)Investments
  
     Investments, except for loans, are reported at fair value as
     determined by quoted market prices on an active market.
     Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-
     date basis.  Realized gains and losses on the sale of
     securities are reported on the average cost method.
     
     Outstanding loans in the loan fund are stated at amortized
     cost.
     
     Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Income
     from other investments is recorded as earned on an accrual
     basis.
  
     During 1993, investments in the Fixed Income Fund, Equity
     Fund I and Equity Fund II were converted to the Managed
     Income, Index Equity Fund, and Small Cap Fund, respectively.
     
  c)Reclassifications
  
     Certain amounts in the 1993 financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
  
3.Investments

  The Company has a trust agreement with PNC Bank Corp. ("PNC")
  with respect to the operation of the Plan and the
  establishment and management of the trust fund.
  
  The following table presents the fair value of investments,
  except for loans, held as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 that
  represent five percent or more of the Plan's net assets.

  Net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of
  investments for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 was
  as follows:

</TABLE>

4. Plan Termination

  Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company
  has the right under the Plan to terminate the Plan subject to
  the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
  participants will become 100 % vested in their accounts.

5. Federal Income Tax

  The Plan obtained its latest determination letter on July 20,
  1988, in which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the
  Plan, as then designed, was in compliance with the applicable
  requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  While the Plan has
  been amended since receiving such determination letter, the
  Plan administrator and the Plan's tax counsel believe that the
  Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance
  with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
  Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in
  the plan's financial statements.
  
6. Administrative Expenses

  Administrative expenses, including trust, investment,
  actuarial, legal and audit fees, are paid for by the Plan.

7.Subsequent Event

  Effective January 1, 1995, the Plan entered into the Federated
  Department Stores, Inc. Defined Contribution Plan Master Trust
  Agreement (the "Master Trust") with the Company's trustee.
  Under the terms of the Master Trust, the trustee serves as
  trustee custodian for the Master Trust which was established
  for the investment of assets of the Plan and of The Federated
  Department Stores, Inc. Retirement Income and Thrift Incentive
  Plan ("RITI"), also sponsored by the Company.  As part of the
  Master Trust formation, all of the assets held by PNC were
  liquidated and transferred to the Master Trust.





                                                                 (Continued)

                        December 31, 1994 and 1993


  In addition, the Plan was amended and restated as of January
  1, 1995 to adopt provisions substantially similiar to the
  thrift incentive provisions of RITI and to change the name of
  the Plan to The Federated Savings Plan for Employees of
  Lazarus PA, Inc. (the "Amended Plan").  Under the provisions
  of the Amended Plan, participants are immediately vested 100%
  in their own and the Company's contributions; participants can
  contribute an amount equal to 1% to 10% (subject to certain
  limitations) of the participant's eligible compensation; the
  Company's annual contribution is an amount equal to the
  greater of 2% of the Company's pre-tax income from
  participating divisions or the amount necessary to match 20%
  of participants' basic savings (up to 5% of eligible
  compensation) and the option for new participant loans was
  eliminated from the Plan.  Participants should refer to the
  Amended Plan document for more complete information.






        Pursuant to the Requirements of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, the members of the Pension and Profit Sharing Committee (which is the 
administrative committee for the Federated Savings Plan for Employees of 
Lazarus PA, Inc.) have duly caused this annual report to be signed by the
undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
