     CLEVELAND, OHIO, January 8, 1996 -- The Sherwin-Williams Company
(NYSE:SHW) today announced that its tender offer for all of the outstanding
stock of Pratt & Lambert United, Inc. (NYSE:PLU) expired pursuant to its terms
at 5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 5, 1996. Sherwin-Williams reported that
10,825,550 shares (or approximately 96.3% of the total shares outstanding) were
validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the offer (including 312,668
shares subject to guarantees of delivery or receipt of additional documents)
and that Sherwin-Williams has accepted all of those shares for payment.
Sherwin-Williams believes that there are approximately 410,811 additional
shares outstanding which are not owned by Sherwin-Williams or by Pratt &
Lambert as treasury stock.

     The tender offer was made pursuant to a merger agreement between
Sherwin-Williams and Pratt & Lambert. Pursuant to the terms of the merger
agreement, Pratt & Lambert will soon be merged with a subsidiary of
Sherwin-Williams, and all shares of Pratt & Lambert stock not tendered and
purchased pursuant to the offer or otherwise owned by Sherwin-Williams (other
than shares owned by Pratt & Lambert shareholders who properly exercise
appraisal rights under New York law) will be converted into the right to
receive $35.00 per share in cash.
