SUPPLEMENT TO
OFFER TO PURCHASE FOR CASH
UP TO 65,000 UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST
OF
IDS/SHURGARD INCOME GROWTH PARTNERS L.P.
AT
$257 NET PER UNIT
BY
SHURGARD STORAGE CENTERS, INC.
THE OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 6:00 P.M., NEW
YORK CITY TIME, ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1996, UNLESS EXTENDED.
------------------------
SHURGARD STORAGE CENTERS, INC. (THE "PURCHASER") IS OFFERING TO PURCHASE UP
TO 65,000 UNITS OF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST (THE "UNITS") IN IDS/SHURGARD
INCOME GROWTH PARTNERS L.P. (THE "PARTNERSHIP") AT A NET CASH PRICE PER UNIT OF
$257 (THE "OFFER PRICE"). THIS OFFER IS NOT CONDITIONED UPON A MINIMUM NUMBER OF
UNITS BEING VALIDLY TENDERED, BUT IT IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN TERMS AND CONDITIONS
DESCRIBED IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE (AS DEFINED HEREIN) BEING SUPPLEMENTED BY
THIS SUPPLEMENT. IF MORE THAN 65,000 UNITS (APPROXIMATELY 44% OF THE OUTSTANDING
UNITS) ARE VALIDLY TENDERED, THE PURCHASER WILL ACCEPT ONLY 65,000 UNITS AND
WILL PURCHASE UNITS FROM TENDERING UNITHOLDERS ON A PRO RATA BASIS AS DESCRIBED
IN THE OFFER TO PURCHASE.
Following the completion of the purchase of Units pursuant to this Offer,
the remaining Unitholders will be notified of a special meeting of Unitholders
(the "Special Meeting") to be held to consider and vote upon approval of the
merger of the Partnership with and into the Purchaser (the "Merger"). If the
Merger is approved by the requisite vote of the Unitholders and certain other
conditions to the Merger are satisfied or waived, (i) the Partnership will merge
into the Purchaser and cease to exist as a separate legal entity and (ii) each
Unit, other than Units held by the Purchaser (including Units purchased in this
Offer), which will be cancelled, and Units, if any, held by Unitholders who
perfect dissenters' rights, will be converted into the right to receive between
9.26 and 11.55 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Purchaser ("REIT Shares"),
depending upon the average closing price of the REIT Shares on the New York
Stock Exchange during a designated period prior to the Special Meeting. All REIT
Shares will be aggregated for each Unitholder and cash will be issued in lieu of
any fractional REIT Shares. If the average closing price used to determine the
number of REIT Shares issuable in the Merger is less than $21.50 per REIT Share,
the Purchaser may provide additional cash consideration. See "The Acquisition
Agreement."
In evaluating the matters described herein, Unitholders should consider the
following, among other factors:
-The general partner of the Partnership, the Purchaser and their affiliates
have significant conflicts of interest in connection with this Offer and
the Merger, and no unaffiliated representatives were appointed to negotiate
the terms of this Offer and the Merger on behalf of the Partnership. The
conflicts of interest arise, among other things, from the fact that certain
representatives of the general partner are also officers of the Purchaser.
See "Special Considerations."
-As a result of this Offer, the Purchaser may hold the largest, or one of
the largest, equity positions in the Partnership, and therefore may be in a
position to influence the policies and affairs of the Partnership and the
vote on approval of the Merger. See "Special Considerations."
-If the average price of REIT Shares for the designated period used to
determine the number of REIT Shares issuable in the Merger is less than
$22.25 per share or if the market price of REIT Shares decreases after
determination of the number of REIT Shares to be issued in the Merger and
prior to the issuance of the REIT Shares, the market value of the REIT
Shares received in the Merger may be lower than the Offer Price. See
"Special Considerations."
(CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE)
------------------------
THIS TRANSACTION HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND
EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE "COMMISSION") NOR HAS THE COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
FAIRNESS OR MERITS OF THIS TRANSACTION OR UPON THE ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THE
INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS
UNLAWFUL.
September 6, 1996
<PAGE>
(CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE)
-The Merger, if consummated, may affect the level of distributions made to
Unitholders who become stockholders of the Purchaser, with the potential
that, depending upon the number of REIT Shares issued in the Merger, some
Unitholders may receive following the Merger smaller distributions than
they would have received if the Merger had not been consummated and they
had remained Unitholders. See "Fairness of the Transaction; Position of the
General Partner."
-Certain valuations of the Partnerships (as defined in the Offer to
Purchase) performed by Alex. Brown were above the aggregate consideration
to be issued in the Transaction and Additional Transactions (each as
defined in the Offer to Purchase) while other valuations of the
Partnerships that Alex. Brown performed were below the aggregate
consideration to be issued in the Transaction and Additional Transactions.
In particular, the valuation of the Partnerships Alex. Brown performed in
its analysis of publicly-traded REITs resulted in a higher valuation than
the consideration to be issued in the Transaction and Additional
Transactions, whereas the valuation of the Partnerships it performed in its
analysis of selected real estate acquisitions resulted in a lower valuation
than the consideration to be issued in the Transaction and Additional
Transactions. See "Appraisal; Opinions of Financial Advisors -- Opinion of
the Purchaser's Financial Advisor."
THE GENERAL PARTNER OF THE PARTNERSHIP IS SHURGARD ASSOCIATES L.P. (THE
"GENERAL PARTNER"). THE GENERAL PARTNER HAS APPROVED THIS OFFER AND THE MERGER
AND HAS DETERMINED THAT THE TERMS OF THIS OFFER AND THE MERGER ARE FAIR TO THE
UNITHOLDERS. THE GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDS THAT THOSE UNITHOLDERS WHO DESIRE
IMMEDIATE LIQUIDITY TENDER THEIR UNITS PURSUANT TO THIS OFFER AND THAT ALL OTHER
UNITHOLDERS RETAIN THEIR UNITS AND, INSTEAD, PARTICIPATE IN THE MERGER. THERE
CAN BE NO ASSURANCE, HOWEVER, THAT THE MERGER WILL BE CONSUMMATED.
------------------------
IMPORTANT
Any Unitholder desiring to tender all or any portion of his or her Units
should complete and sign the Letter of Transmittal in accordance with the
instructions in the Letter of Transmittal, and mail or deliver it with any other
required documents to the Depositary at the address set forth on the back cover
of this Supplement. Unitholders who have validly tendered Units and not

Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and this Supplement may be directed to the

INTRODUCTION
The Purchaser hereby amends and supplements the Offer to Purchase dated July
2, 1996, as supplemented by the Purchaser's letter to Unitholders dated July 16,
1996 and the Supplement to Offer to Purchase dated August 26, 1996 (the "Offer
to Purchase"). Except as set forth in this Supplement, the Offer continues to be
governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the
related Letter of Transmittal, and the information contained therein continues
to be important to each Unitholder's decision with respect to the Offer.
Accordingly, this Supplement should be carefully read in conjunction with the
Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, which have been
previously mailed to Unitholders. Capitalized terms not defined herein have the
meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
Procedures for tendering Units are set forth in the section entitled "The
Offer" of the Offer to Purchase. Tendering Unitholders should continue to use
the Letter of Transmittal circulated with the Offer to Purchase. By tendering
Units, Unitholders assign to the Purchaser all rights to cash distributions made
subsequent to July 2, 1996 with respect to those Units.
UNITHOLDERS WHO HAVE VALIDLY TENDERED UNITS AND NOT WITHDRAWN THEIR TENDERS
NEED TAKE NO FURTHER ACTION TO VALIDLY TENDER THOSE UNITS.
FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION; POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER
THE SECTION OF THE OFFER TO PURCHASE ENTITLED "FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION;
POSITION OF THE GENERAL PARTNER" IS HEREBY SUPPLEMENTED BY ADDING THE FOLLOWING
SECTION IMMEDIATELY AFTER "-- FAIRNESS IN VIEW OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST":
FAIRNESS IN VIEW OF PS AGREEMENT. Pursuant to the confidentiality and
standstill agreement dated March 25, 1996 between the Purchaser and PS (the "PS
Agreement"), PS is prohibited from acquiring (through a tender offer or
otherwise) any interest in the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's affiliates,
including the Partnership, for a period of two years without the Purchaser's
consent. See "Background and Purposes of the Transaction -- Background of the
Transaction." If the PS Agreement did not prohibit PS from acquiring an interest
in the Partnership, it is possible that PS might have made an offer to purchase
the Units at a price higher or lower than the Offer Price, although neither the
General Partner nor the Purchaser, at the time the PS Agreement was executed,
had any knowledge of any plan or intention by PS to make an offer to purchase
the Units in the absence of the PS Agreement. The General Partner believes that
the Offer Price and the Merger Consideration are fair to Unitholders
notwithstanding the PS Agreement. The General Partner has based its conclusion
regarding the fairness of the Transaction to Unitholders on its analysis of the
factors discussed in this "Fairness of the Transaction; Position of the General
Partner" section. The General Partner believes that the analysis was performed
in a good faith exercise of its fiduciary duty and was not affected by the PS
Agreement.
EXCEPT AS SUPPLEMENTED HEREBY, ALL PROVISIONS OF THE OFFER REMAIN
UNAFFECTED.
