Item 2.               GRACO  INC.  AND  SUBSIDIARIES
                MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND  ANALYSIS  OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Net  earnings in the second quarter of $8,532,000 increased $4,337,000 from
the  same  period a year ago as the Company's sales continue to improve  in
Europe and the Pacific offset by the recent softening of sales in the North
American markets.  In addition to increased sales, gross margin levels have
improved  from  1994  and operating expenses as a  percent  of  sales  have
declined due primarily to cost reduction efforts initiated in 1994.

Sales  in  the second quarter of $103,402,000 increased $9,223,000,  or  10
percent,  from  the  same  period in 1994.  Second  quarter  sales  in  the
Americas decreased 4 percent to $63,847,000, and European sales were up  40
percent to $21,085,000 (a 23 percent volume increase, and a 17 percent gain
due  to exchange rates).  In the Pacific (excluding Japan), sales increased
43  percent to $8,619,000 (a 41 percent volume increase, and a  gain  of  2
percent  on  exchange  rates).  In Japan, sales  increased  48  percent  to
$9,851,000  (a  21  percent volume increase and a gain  of  27  percent  on
exchange rates).

Sales for the six months were $198,929,000, a 14 percent increase over  the
same  period  last  year.  In the Americas, sales increased  3  percent  to
$128,962,000.  European sales were up 38 percent to $37,327,000  (a  volume
increase of 23 percent and a 15 percent gain due to exchange rates).  Sales
in  the Pacific (excluding Japan) increased 59 percent to $17,161,000 (a 57
percent  volume increase and a 2 percent gain due to exchange  rates).   In
Japan  sales  increased  28  percent to $15,479,000  (a  9  percent  volume
increase and a 19 percent gain on exchange rates).

Operating   expenses   in  the  second  quarter  of  $36,991,000   are   at
approximately  the  same  level as the second  quarter  of  1994.   Product
development expense increased 11 percent over 1994, as previously announced
new  product  initiatives continue.  Selling expenses were 3 percent  lower
than  the  same  period last year, largely due to lower  headcount  levels.
General  and  administrative costs were up by 3 percent, due  primarily  to
expense items related to increased profitability.

The effective income tax rate for the quarter was 38 percent compared to 36
percent  for  the same period in 1994.  The increase was due  primarily  to
foreign results effectively taxed at higher rates.

For  the second quarter, consolidated bookings were up 2 percent.  Bookings
declined  in  the Americas, but were up sharply in Europe, the Pacific  and
Japan.   Backlog at June 30, 1995 was $27,000,000, approximately 3  percent
lower  than  it  was in the previous quarter and 9 percent lower  than  the
second quarter of 1994.

The  Company  expects favorable sales and order trends in  Europe  and  the
Pacific  region  as these economies strengthen.  The slowing  of  the  U.S.
economy  will continue to impact domestic bookings and backlog  during  the
second  half  of  1995.   The  Company will  make  further  investments  in
improvements  to  manufacturing efficiency  and  new  product  development,
while closely controlling expenses throughout the organization.

Financial Condition

Cash was used for operating activities and fixed asset additions.  Accounts
receivable  increased  $6,904,000  from  the  prior  year-end  due  to  the
increased  sales volume, and inventories increased $2,510,000 primarily  in
production.   Property,  plant  and equipment  was  purchased  year-to-date
totaling $11,189,000.

The Company has unused lines of credit available at June 30, 1995, totaling
$47 million.
