INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Committee of
The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company
Employees' Savings Plan:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company Employees' Savings Plan
(the "Plan") as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related statements of
changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December
31, 1994 and for the period from November 1, 1993 (date of inception)
through December 31, 1993.  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 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 as of December
31, 1994 and 1993 and the changes in its net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1994 and for the period from November 1,
1993 (date of inception) through December 31, 1993 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 information
by fund is presented for the purpose of additional analysis of the basic
financial statements rather than to present information regarding the net
assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of the individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic
financial statements.  The accompanying supplemental schedules of (1)
assets held for investment as of December 31, 1994 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994 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.  This
supplemental information by fund and these accompanying schedules are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental information by
fund and accompanying schedules have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic 1994 financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects when considered
in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMMERCIAL
COMPANY EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND PERIOD FROM NOVEMBER 1, 1993
(Date of Inception) THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 1993
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

     The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company Employees' Savings Plan (the
     "Plan") is a voluntary defined contribution plan available for all
     regular, full-time employees of The Procter & Gamble Commercial
     Company, who are residents of Puerto Rico, have completed one year of
     service, and whose conditions of employment are not subject to a
     collective bargaining agreement, unless such agreement provides to the
     contrary.  The Plan was established effective November 1, 1993 and is
     sponsored by The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company (the "Company").
     Employees may contribute, through payroll deductions, from 1% to 10%
     of their compensation.  The Company makes matching contributions to
     the Plan for each pay period equal to 40% of the first 5% of
     compensation the participant elects to contribute to the Plan.
     Forfeitures of non-vested Company contributions are used to reduce
     future Company contributions to the Plan.  Participants are always
     100% vested in their personal contributions and any earnings thereon.
     Participants become 100% vested in the Company matching contributions
     on their behalf upon the occurrence of any of the following events:
     completion of five years of service with the Company; attaining age
     65; total disability while employed by the Company or death while
     employed by the Company.  Upon participants' termination or
     retirement, their vested account balance will be paid in a single lump
     sum in cash or in Procter & Gamble common stock.  If participants
     terminate employment before retirement and the account balance in
     their Company matching contributions account exceeds $3,500, it will
     not be distributed to the participants until their 65th birthday,
     unless participants and their spouse (if applicable) consent in
     writing to an earlier distribution.  The Plan is subject to the
     provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
     ("ERISA").  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 provisions of
     ERISA.  In the event of plan termination, participants will become
     100% vested in their accounts.

     Under the provisions of the Plan, participating employees may elect to
     invest their contributions in one or more of the following investment
     funds that are administered by Oriental Bank & Trust (the "Trustees"):

     FIXED INCOME FUND - Invests in fixed income obligations including
     short-term securities issued or guaranteed by the United States
     government.  This fund intends to obtain high interest rates through
     low risk short-term investments while preserving the principal.

     GROWTH FUND - Invests in diversified growth stocks of large United
     States and multinational companies whose earnings have been increasing
     consistently over the years.  This fund seeks a long-term capital
     growth.

     EQUITY FUND - Invests in common stocks of large United States and
     multinational companies.  This fund seeks long-term capital growth by
     participating in the growth of the economy.

     THE PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY COMMON STOCK FUND - Invests solely in
     common stock of The Procter & Gamble Company.

                                   - 6 -

2.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS - All investments are stated at fair value.

     PLAN EXPENSES - All expenses incurred in administering the Plan may be
     paid out of the invested assets unless paid by the Company.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     At December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Plan owned 3.4, 10.3 and 8.18
     percent and 2, 7 and 7 percent of the total current value of the
     investments of the Fixed Income Fund, Growth Fund and Equity Fund,
     respectively.

     Investment income and the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair
     value of the investments held by the Trust are allocated to the
     participating defined contribution plans based on each plan's
     proportional interest in the fair value of such investments.

4.   PARTY IN INTEREST INVESTMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS

     The Procter & Gamble Commercial Company is a party-in-interest, as
     defined by ERISA.  There were no prohibited party-in-interest
     investments or transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994 and
     for the period from November 1, 1993 (Date of Inception) through
     December 31, 1993.

5.   INCOME TAXES

     The Plan is exempt from Puerto Rico income taxes under the provisions
     of Section 165 (a) and (e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954
     ("ITA"), as amended.  The Plan is not qualified under Section 401(a)
     of the Internal Revenue Code, but it is exempt from United States
     taxation under Section 1022 of the Employee Retirement Income Security
     Act of 1974.  The Plan is required to operate in conformity with the
     ITA to maintain its qualification.

     The Plan participants are not taxed on the income and contributions
     made for their accounts until such time as the participant or the
     participant's beneficiary receives distributions from the Plan.
