Operating profit is total revenue, including realized profit on intersegment
transfers, less operating costs and expenses.

Export sales, sales of foreign subsidiaries, and sales to any individual
customer were each less than 10% of consolidated sales to unaffiliated
customers during all periods presented.

Intersegment transfers are accounted for at values comparable to normal
unaffiliated customer sales.

                      ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                      ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Consolidated net sales increased 4.5 percent in the third quarter and 5.0
percent in the first nine-month period over the comparable 1993 periods.
Sales in the Paint Stores Segment improved 7.8 percent for the third quarter
and 7.9  percent year-to-date as all operating regions achieved improved
sales results over the respective 1993 period.  Sales to wholesale
customers, which include professional painter, contractor, industrial and
commercial maintenance accounts, remain significantly above last year but
were partially offset by continued reduced retail demand.  Comparable-store
sales were up 6.8 percent for the third quarter.  The Coatings Segment's
sales decreased 1.3 percent for the third quarter while year-to-date sales
remain slightly ahead of last year.  The third quarter sales decline was
primarily due to reduced demand by certain large customers as they adjust
their inventories downward and the effect of the loss of a portion of the
business of a home center account.  Revenue generated by real estate
operations in the Other Segment decreased slightly for the third quarter and
year-to-date.

Consolidated gross profit, as a percent of sales, was even with last year
at 43.1 percent for the third quarter.  Year-to-date margins increased to
42.5 percent from 41.9 percent.  Margins in the Paint Stores Segment remain
above last year due to continued improved store-level pricing discipline and
a favorable product sales mix.  The Coatings Segment's margins were even
with last year for the third quarter and exceed last year for the first nine
months.  Despite continued sales mix shifts to lower-margin items in the
Specialty and Automotive Divisions, offsetting production efficiencies
generated the Segment's year-to-date improvement.  Margins of the Coatings
Segment have been slightly affected by recent price increases on certain raw
materials.

Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of
sales were lower than 1993 for the third quarter; however, this percentage
remained slightly above last year for the first nine months.  The Paint
Stores Segment's SG&A costs as a percent of sales were below last year due
primarily to containment of administrative expenses combined with the sales
gains achieved.  In the Coatings Segment, SG&A costs as a percent of sales
were below last year for the third quarter due to containment of certain
administrative expenses.  Year-to-date SG&A expenses, as a percent of sales,
for the Coatings Segment were even with last year.

Interest expense decreased 53.2 percent in the third quarter of 1994 and
51.6 percent year-to-date from the comparable 1993 periods due to the normal
maturities of long-term debt and the acquisition of certain outstanding
long-term debentures.  Net investment income was slightly above last year
for the third quarter primarily due to increased investment yields partially
offset by reduced cash balances resulting primarily from the purchase of
common stock for treasury purposes earlier in the year.  Year-to-date
investment income remains higher than last year.

Net income for the third quarter of 1994 increased to $71,229,000 or $.83
per share from $64,372,000 or $.72 per share  in 1993.  Net income for the
first nine months of 1994 increased to $155,892,000 or $1.79 per share from
$138,795,000 or $1.55 per share in 1993.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
The Company's financial position remains strong.  Working capital as a
percent of sales increased slightly to 19.3 percent from 19.1 percent last
year.  Cash and cash equivalents have decreased $82.5 million since year
end.  The primary uses of cash during the first nine months of 1994 were
treasury stock acquisitions of $103.1 million, capital expenditures of $56.9
million, cash dividends of $36.4 million and normal operating needs for
seasonally higher accounts receivable and inventories.  Our current ratio at
September 30, 1994 decreased to 2.01 from 2.04 at the end of the third
quarter last year primarily due to the decrease in short-term investments.
Since September 30, 1993, cash and cash equivalents remained essentially
flat due primarily to cash generated by operations of $235.9 million being
offset by treasury stock acquisitions of $115.4 million, capital
expenditures of $75.5 million, payments of cash dividends totaling $47.5
million, payments of long-term debt of $29.5 million and normal working
capital needs.   Short-term borrowings have not been utilized during 1994.
The Company believes that sufficient cash flows should be generated from
operations to support working capital needs for the remainder of 1994.

Capital expenditures during the first nine months of 1994 represented
primarily the cost of remerchandising, remodeling or relocating paint
stores, the construction of a distribution center and the continued upgrade
at manufacturing and research facilities.  We do not anticipate the need for
any external financing to support our capital programs.

During the third quarter of 1994, the Company did not purchase any
additional shares of its own common stock.  Year-to-date treasury stock
acquired exceeds 3,200,000 shares.  We acquire our own stock for general
corporate purposes and, depending upon our cash position and market
conditions, we may acquire additional shares of stock in the future.

The Company and certain other companies are defendants in lawsuits arising from
the manufacture and sale of lead pigments and lead paints. It is possible that
additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company in the future with similar
allegations.  The various existing lawsuits seek damages for personal injuries
and property damage, which include in several cases the costs incurred to abate
the lead related paint from buildings.  The Company believes that such lawsuits
are without merit and is vigorously defending them.  The Company does not
believe that any potential liability which may ultimately be determined to be
attributable to the Company arising out of such lawsuits will have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition.

The Company believes that it conducts its operations in compliance with the
applicable environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various
programs designed to protect the environment and ensure continued compliance.

The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in our industry,
are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and
regulations.  These laws and regulations not only govern our current operations
and products, but also impose potential liability on the Company for past
operations which were conducted utilizing practices and procedures that were
considered acceptable under the laws and regulations existing at the time these
operations were conducted.  The Company expects the environmental laws and
regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon the Company and
our industry in the future.

The Company is involved with environmental compliance and remediation
activities at some of its current and former sites.  The Company, together with
other parties, has also been designated a potentially responsible party under
federal and state environmental protection laws for the remediation of
hazardous waste at a number of third-party sites, primarily Superfund sites.
In general, these laws provide that potentially responsible parties may be held
jointly and severally liable for investigation and remediation costs regardless
of fault.  The Company may be similarly designated with respect to additional
third-party sites in the future.

Although the Company continuously assesses its potential liability for
remediation activities with respect to its past operations and third-party
sites, any potential liability ultimately determined to be attributable to the
Company is subject to a number of uncertainties including, among others, the
number of parties involved with respect to any given site, the volumetric
contribution which may be attributed to the Company relative to that
attributable to other parties, the nature and magnitude of the wastes involved,
and the method and extent of remediation.  The Company has accrued for certain
environmental remediation activities relating to its past operations and
third-party sites, including Superfund sites, for which commitments or clean-up
plans have been developed or for which costs or minimum costs can be reasonably
estimated.  In the opinion of the Company's management, any potential liability
ultimately attributed to the Company for its environmental related matters will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition,
liquidity or cash flow.
