INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Policy Committee of
 The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust
 and Employee Stock Ownership Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (Plan) as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, and the related
statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at June 30,
1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedule
listed in the Table of Contents is presented for the purpose of additional
analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but
is 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.  This schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Such schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic 1994 financial statements and,
in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic 1994 financial statements taken as a whole.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE PROFIT SHARING TRUST
AND EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994 AND 1993
___________________________________________________________________________

1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     GENERAL - The Procter & Gamble Profit Sharing Trust and Employee Stock
     Ownership Plan (PST or Plan) is a defined contribution plan covering
     substantially all domestic employees of The Procter & Gamble Company
     and certain of its subsidiaries (Company).  The Plan is comprised of
     three trusts - the Long-Term Incentive Trust (LIT), the Retirement
     Distribution Trust (RDT) and the Employee Stock Ownership Trust
     (ESOT).  These financial statements relate to the LIT, the RDT, and
     the ESOT.  The Plan is funded through contributions by the Company.
     It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
     Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The Profit Sharing Trust and Employee
     Stock Ownership Plan document should be referred to for the complete
     text of the Plan agreement.

     The ESOT was established by resolution of the Board of Directors of
     the Company on January 10, 1989.  During March 1989, the ESOT borrowed
     $1,000,000,000 (see Note 8) and, with the proceeds from such
     borrowings, purchased 9,090,909 shares of The Procter & Gamble Company
     Series A ESOP Convertible Class A Preferred Stock (Series A Preferred
     Stock) (see Note 5).  The number of shares initially issued increased
     to 36,363,636 as a result of the two-for-one stock splits effective
     October 20, 1989 and May 15, 1992.

     In May 1990 the Company's Board of Directors authorized an amendment
     to the Plan to establish an account in accordance with Section 401(h)
     of the Internal Revenue Code to fund a portion of medical expenses for
     retired Plan participants satisfying certain requirements specified in
     the Plan agreement.  This amendment became effective July 1, 1990.
     During November 1990, the ESOT borrowed $1,000,000,000 (see Note 9)
     and with the proceeds from such borrowings, purchased 9,571,209 shares
     of The Procter & Gamble Company Series B ESOP Convertible Class A
     Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) (see Note 6).  The number
     of outstanding shares increased to 19,142,418 as a result of the two-
     for-one stock split effective May 15, 1992.  In June 1993 these shares
     were exchanged for an equal number of shares with identical terms,
     except for amended restrictions on transfer (see Note 6).

     PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is credited with the
     allocation of Company contributions (see Note 10) and Plan earnings.
     Allocations are based on participant earnings.  The benefit to which a
     participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the
     participant's account.

     VESTING - Vesting in participant accounts is based on years of
     service. A participant is fully vested after five years of service.

     PAYMENTS OF BENEFITS - On termination of service, a participant may
     elect to receive (1) all cash, securities and annuities in his or her
     account, (2) annual distribution of cash and securities in his or her
     account on a pro-rata basis not to exceed the lesser of 15 years or
     the participant's life expectancy, or (3) an annuity purchased for the
     value of his or her account.

     PLAN TERMINATION - Although it has not expressed any intent to do so,
     the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its
     contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the


                                    - 4 -

<PAGE>

     provisions of ERISA.  In the event of Plan termination, the net assets
     of the Plan will be distributed to the participants in an order of
     priority determined in accordance with ERISA and its applicable
     regulations and the Plan document.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING - The financial statements are prepared on the
     accrual basis of accounting and the Plan's net assets and transactions
     are recorded at market value.  Market value of The Procter & Gamble
     Company common stock is determined by composite trading prices on the
     New York Stock Exchange.  The Company's common stock, included in the
     Plan's statements of net assets, is recorded at $53.375 and $52.00 per
     share as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Market value of
     Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock is determined as
     the greater of the approximate market value of the Company's common
     stock as defined in the Plan agreement or $27.50 (Series A) and $52.24
     (Series B) per share (see Notes 5 and 6).  The Series A Preferred
     Stock, included in the Plan's statement of net assets, is recorded at
     $53.375 and $52.00 per share as of June 30, 1994 and 1993,
     respectively.  Market value of the Series B Preferred Stock, included
     in the Plan's statement of net assets, is recorded at $53.375 and
     $52.24 per share as of June 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  Deferred
     annuities are recorded at contract value, except for certain
     individual deferred annuities (see Note 7) recorded at cost as the
     insurance companies are unable to provide market values.  Other
     investments are valued at cost which approximates fair value.  Loans
     to participants are valued at the unpaid principal balance.  The cost
     of securities sold, transferred or distributed is determined by the
     weighted average cost of securities allocated to the participant's
     account.

     EXPENSES OF THE PLAN - All administrative expenses of the Plan are
     paid by the Company.

3.   INCOME TAX STATUS

     The Procter & Gamble Company has received a determination letter from
     the Internal Revenue Service stating that the Plan, as amended, is a
     qualified employer's trust under Sections 401(a), 401(h) and 409 of
     the Internal Revenue Code and, as such, is exempt from federal income
     taxes under Section 501(a).  The Plan participants are not taxed on
     the income and contributions made to their accounts, pursuant to the
     provisions of Section 402(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, until such
     time as the participant or the participant's beneficiary receives
     distributions from the Plan.

4.   PARTY-IN-INTEREST INVESTMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

     The Procter & Gamble Company is a party-in-interest, as defined by
     ERISA.  There were no prohibited party-in-interest investments or
     transactions during the years ended June 30, 1994 and 1993.

5.   SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

     CONVERSION, DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS - The Series A
     Preferred Stock is convertible at any time by the holder at the rate
     of one share of the Company's common stock for each share of Series A
     Preferred Stock.  Additionally, in order to make a distribution to a
     participant, the Series A Preferred Stock can be "put" to the Company
     at its liquidation value plus accrued dividends.  Hence, upon
     distribution, participants will receive $27.50 per Series A Preferred
     Share, or one share of the Company's common stock, whichever has a
     higher value.  LIT and RDT participants receive distributions upon
     termination.  RDT participants age 55 and above may also elect to
     convert up to 50% of their Series A Preferred Shares to alternative
     investments which are held by the RDT.  The market value of the
     Company's common stock as of June 30, 1994 and 1993 was $53.375 and

                                  - 5 -

<PAGE>

     $52.00, respectively per share.  During 1994 and 1993, respectively,
     977,523 and 616,516 Series A Preferred Shares were converted into
     common shares and retired.

     ELIGIBILITY - All participants of the LIT and RDT are eligible for
     allocation of Series A Preferred Stock.

     DIVIDEND RIGHTS - Annual dividends of $2.03 per share are paid
     quarterly at $0.5075 per share.  In the event that dividends have not
     been paid when due, payment or declaration of dividends on securities
     subordinated to the Series A Preferred Stock generally is not
     permitted.

     CALL PROVISIONS - The Series A Preferred Stock is generally
     noncallable for a period of five years ending March 3, 1994.  It may
     be called at certain premium amounts as described in the Company's
     amended articles of incorporation.

     VOTING RIGHTS - Each share is entitled to a number of votes equal to
     the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which it is
     convertible.

     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER - The ESOT or another employee benefit plan
     of the Company are the only permissible holders of the Series A
     Preferred Stock.  Upon transfer to any other holder, shares
     automatically convert to shares of the Company's common stock.

     ALLOCATION OF SHARES TO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Shares of the Series A
     Preferred Stock are released for allocation to participant accounts in
     accordance with the Plan agreement as the borrowings are repaid (see
     Note 8).  In 1994 and 1993, 2,424,242 Series A Preferred Shares valued
     at $117,196,136 and $126,060,584, respectively, were released for

6.   SERIES B PREFERRED STOCK

     CONVERSION, DISTRIBUTION AND LIQUIDATION RIGHTS - The Series B
     Preferred Stock is convertible at any time by the holder at the rate
     of one share of the Company's common stock for each share of Series B
     Preferred Stock.  Additionally, in order to make a distribution to a
     participant for retiree medical expenses, the Series B Preferred Stock
     can be "put" to the Company at its liquidation price plus accrued
     dividends.  Hence, upon distribution, participants will receive $52.24
     per Series B Preferred Share, or one share of the Company's common
     stock, whichever has a higher value.  In 1994 and 1993, there were no
     distributions of Series B Preferred Stock for retiree medical
     expenses.

     ELIGIBILITY - Active participants who are eligible to retire from the
     Company and all participants who have retired under the terms of the
     PST are eligible for allocation of Series B Preferred Stock.

     DIVIDEND RIGHTS - Annual dividends of $4.12 per share are paid
     quarterly at $1.03 per share.  In the event that dividends have not
     been paid when due, payment or declaration of dividends on securities
     subordinated to the Series B Preferred Stock generally is not
     permitted.

     CALL PROVISIONS - The Series B Preferred Stock is generally
     noncallable for a period of five years ending November 27, 1995 and,
     after that time, may be called at certain premium amounts as described
     in the Company's amended articles of incorporation.

     VOTING RIGHTS - Each share is entitled to a number of votes equal to
     the number of shares of the Company's common stock into which it is
     convertible.

<PAGE>

     RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER - Effective June 29, 1993, all shares of the
     Series B Preferred Stock were exchanged for an equal number of shares
     of Series B Preferred Stock with amended restrictions on transfer.
     Terms were amended to lift the transfer restrictions and to provide
     the Company with the right of first refusal on the purchase of Series
     B Preferred Stock.  In prior years, the ESOT or another employee
     benefit plan of the Company were the only permissible holders of the
     Series B Preferred Stock.  Upon transfer to any other holder, shares
     automatically converted to shares of the Company's common stock.

     ALLOCATION OF SHARES TO PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS - Shares of the Series B
     Preferred Stock will be released for allocation to participant retiree
     health care fund accounts in accordance with the Plan agreement as
     interest and/or principal are paid (see Note 9).  In 1994 and 1993,
     543,296 Series B Preferred shares valued at $29,572,960 and
     $28,381,783, respectively, were released for allocation to participant
