Item I.  Business

     Shaw Industries, Inc. ("Shaw" or the "Company") is the world's
largest carpet manufacturer.  Shaw designs and manufactures
approximately 1,600 styles of tufted and woven carpet for
residential and commercial use under the PHILADELPHIA, TRUSTMARK, CABIN
CRAFTS, SHAW COMMERCIAL CARPETS, STRATTON, NETWORX, SHAWMARK, EVANS
BLACK, SALEM,  SUTTON, KOSSET, CROSSLEY, ABINGDON, REDBOOK,
MINSTER, INVICTA and TERZA trade names and under certain private
labels.  The Company's manufacturing operations are fully
integrated from the processing of yarns through the finishing of
carpet.  The Company's carpet is sold in a broad range of prices,
patterns, colors and textures with the majority of its sales in the
medium to high retail price range.  Shaw sells its products to
retailers, distributors and commercial users throughout the United
States, Canada, Mexico, Australia and the United Kingdom and, to a
lesser degree, exports to additional overseas markets.

     On July 12, 1993, the Company formed a joint venture through
which it acquired an interest in Capital Carpet Industries, Pty.,
Ltd., Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and Invicta Group Industries,
Pty., Ltd., Braybrook, Victoria, Australia (together, "CCI"),
enabling the Company to participate in a government-supported rationalization
of the Australian carpet industry. On November 4, 1993, the Company acquired
the remaining interest in the joint venture.  Until November 4, 1993,
the investment was accounted for using the equity method, and accordingly,
the Company included its share of CCI's income in other income.  Subsequent
to November 4, 1993, the results of operations of CCI are included in
the Company's consolidated financial statements.

     On September 10, 1993, the Company acquired Abingdon Carpets,
Gwent, Wales.  Abingdon is a British producer of medium-priced
tufted carpets and carpet yarns.  The acquisition has been
accounted for as a purchase transaction, and accordingly, the
results of operations of Abingdon are included in the Company's
consolidated financial statements since September 10, 1993.

     On May 31, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to form
a joint venture with Grupo Industrial Alfa, S.A. de C.V. of
Monterrey, Mexico, for the manufacture, distribution and marketing
of carpets, rugs and related products in Mexico and South America.
The Company acquired a fify-one percent interest in Terza, S.A. de
C.V., and accordingly, the subsidiary is included in consolidation
at July 2, 1994 and the results of operations of Terza are included
in the Company's consolidated financial statements since May 31, 1994.

     Geographical information about the Company's sales, operating
profit and identifiable assets is incorporated by reference to page

                               1

19 of Exhibit 13 to this report.  The results of the acquired
operations in fiscal 1994 did not have a material effect on the
Company's net income.

Products and Marketing

     Substantially all carpet manufactured by the Company is tufted
carpet made from nylon and polypropylene yarn.  In the tufting
process, yarn is inserted by multiple needles into a synthetic
backing, forming loops which may be cut or left uncut, depending on
the desired texture or construction.  According to industry
estimates, tufted carpet accounted for over 91% of unit volume
shipments of carpet manufactured in the United States during
calendar 1993.  Substantially all carpet manufactured in the United
States is made from synthetic fibers, with nylon accounting for
65.2% of the total, polypropylene 24.9%, polyester 9.4% and wool
0.5%.  During fiscal 1994, the Company  processed approximately 95%
of its requirements for carpet yarn in its own yarn processing facilities.

     The Company believes that its significant investment in
modern, state-of-the-art equipment has been an important factor in
achieving and maintaining its leadership position in the
marketplace.  During the past five fiscal years, the Company has
invested approximately $782 million in property additions.  The
Company continually seeks opportunities for increasing its sales
volume and market share.  For example, the Company continues to
expand its product lines of carpet manufactured from polypropylene
fiber, including fibers produced by the Company's own extrusion
equipment.  The Company also has a manufacturing facility for the
production of carpet tiles for the commercial market.

     The overall level of sales in the carpet industry is
influenced by a number of factors, including consumer confidence
and spending for durable goods, interest rates, turnover in
housing, the condition of the residential construction industry and
the overall strength of the economy.

     The marketing of carpet is influenced significantly by current
trends in style and fashion, principally color trends.  The Company
believes it has been a leader in the development of color
technology in the carpet industry and that its dyeing facilities
are among the most modern and versatile in the industry.  The
Company maintains an in-house product development department to
identify developing color and style trends which are expected to
affect its customers' buying decisions.  In 1994 this department
was further strengthened by the completion of the Shaw Industries
Research and Development Center.  This state-of-the-art complex
includes a 75,000 square foot pilot plant featuring sample
extrusion, yarn processing, tufting, dyeing, coating and shearing
equipment, and three fiber and dye development laboratories.

                               2

Sales and Distribution

     The Company's products are marketed domestically by
approximately 1,050 salaried sales personnel in its various
marketing divisions directly to retailers and distributors and to
large national accounts through the Company's National Accounts
Division.  The Company's ten (10) regional customer service centers
and six (6) redistribution centers, along with its centralized
management information system, enable it to provide prompt delivery
of its products to both its retail customers and wholesale
distributors.  The Company's substantial investment in management
information systems permits efficient production scheduling and
control of inventory levels.

     The Company sells to approximately 37,250 retailers and
national accounts located throughout the United States and Canada.
Retailers and national accounts, on a combined basis, accounted for
approximately 86% of the Company's carpet sales for fiscal 1994.
Shaw also sells to approximately 100 wholesale distributors.
Approximately 4% of the Company's carpet sales in fiscal 1994 were
to distributors.  Sales of Shaw products in foreign markets,
including the sales of foreign subsidiaries, accounted for
approximately 10% of total sales in fiscal 1994.  No single
customer accounted for more than 2% of the Company's sales during
fiscal 1994.

Competition

     The carpet industry is highly competitive with more than 200
companies engaged in the manufacture and sale of carpet in the
United States.  Carpet manufacturers also face competition from the
hard surface floorcovering industry.  The principal methods of
competition within the carpet industry are quality, style, price
and service.  The Company believes its strategically located
regional customer service centers and redistribution centers
provide a competitive advantage to the Company by enabling it to
supply carpet on a timely basis to customers.  The Company's long-
standing practice in investing in modern, state-of-the-art
equipment contributes significantly to its ability to compete
effectively on the basis of quality, style and price.

Raw Materials

     The principal raw materials used by the Company are nylon
fiber and filament, and synthetic backing; additional raw materials
include polyester, polypropylene and wool fibers and filaments,
jute, latex and dye.  During fiscal 1994, the Company experienced
no significant shortages of raw materials.

Employees

     At July 2, 1994, the Company had approximately 24,200 full-

                               3

time employees.  In the opinion of management, employee relations
are good.  Employees are involved in the Quality Improvement
Process begun in 1985, a program designed to improve the Company's
products and services through education and training.  None of the
Company's employees in the United States are represented by unions.
Employees of foreign subsidiaries are represented by unions.

Environmental Matters

     Management believes the Company is currently in compliance in
all material respects with applicable federal, state and local
statutes and ordinances regulating the discharge of materials into
the environment and otherwise relating to the protection of the
environment.  Management does not believe the Company will be
required to expend any material amounts in order to remain in
compliance with these laws and regulations or that compliance will
materially affect its capital expenditures, earnings or competitive
position.

Patents, Trademarks, etc.

     Patent protection has not been significant to the Company's
business although the Company does hold several patents covering
machinery used in a specific carpet coloring process.

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

    From time to time the Company is subject to claims and suits
arising in the course of its business.  In April 1993, the Company
became a defendant in certain litigation alleging personal injury
resulting from personal exposure to volatile organic compounds
found in carpet produced by the Company.  The complaints seek
injunctive relief and unspecified money damage on all claims.  The
Company has denied any liability.  In May 1993, the Company became
a defendant in certain litigation alleging violation of both
federal and state laws relating to unfair competition.  The
complaint seeks an injunction regarding the unfair competition
claims and money damages.  The Company has denied any liability.
The Company believes that is has meritorious defenses in these
suits and that the litigation will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.  The Company will vigorously defend these suits.  In
June 1994, the Company and several other carpet manufacturers
received grand jury subpoenas from the Antitrust Division of the
United States Department of Justice relating to an investigation of
the industry.  The Company believes that once this investigation is
completed it will not have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition or results of operations.

    At the end of fiscal year 1994, there were no other pending
legal proceedings to which the Company was a party or to which any
of its property was subject which, in the opinion of management,
were likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company's
business, financial condition or results of operations.
