                Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                (unaudited)


NOTE A.  The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Rule 10-01 of SEC Regulation S-X.  Consequently, they do not
include all the disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of the
management of National Sanitary Supply Company ("National"), the financial
statements presented herein contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, the
results of operations and cash flows of National and its subsidiaries for the
periods indicated.  For additional information concerning the accounting 
policies of National, refer to the consolidated financial statements included
in the 1993 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 28, 1994.

NOTE B.  Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with  maturities of
three months or less when purchased.

NOTE C.  Earnings per common share are computed on the basis of the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective
periods.  The dilution that would result from shares issuable under National's
1986 and 1988 Stock Incentive Plans is not material.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------
National Sanitary Supply Company's sales for the second quarter ended June 30,
1994 were $76,975,000, a 2% increase over sales of $75,281,000 in the second
quarter of 1993.  Net income for the second quarter of 1994 was $1,104,000, a
16% increase over net income of $950,000 reported in the prior year second
quarter. Earnings per share of $.19 for the second quarter of 1994 increased
19% over earnings per share of $.16 reported in the comparable prior year
quarter.

National's second quarter sales improved in many locations throughout the
National system, including most areas in the large Southern California market.
Sales also benefited from increased sales of sanitary paper, equipment and high
margin proprietary chemical products.  National's second quarter 1994 gross
profit margin was relatively unchanged from the prior year.

Operating expenses as a percentage of sales in the second quarter of 1994
decreased .3% point mainly reflecting tight control over most expense
categories.

Interest expense to Chemed Corporation ("Chemed"), National's parent company,
increased from $553,000 in the second quarter of 1993 to $600,000 in the second
quarter of 1994.  This increase primarily results from the additional funds
necessary to purchase two Los Angeles, California facilities at a total cost of
$3,282,000. These facilities had been previously leased from the former owners
of National since 1983.  The leases had included options to purchase the
facilities at the fair market value as of November 1983.  

For the six months ended June 30, 1994, National sales of $148,435,000 increased
3% over sales of $144,628,000 in the comparable period of 1993.  Net income for
the first half of 1994 was $1,678,000, a 16% increase over the prior year first
half net income of $1,451,000.  Earnings per share were $.28 for the first six
months of 1994 compared with $.25 for the first six months of 1993.

The sales improvements for the first half of 1994 reflect increased sales of
equipment, foodservice and higher margin proprietary chemical products.  The
gross profit margin for the first six months of 1994 experienced a small decline
of .3% point reflecting the additional sales of low margin foodservice products.
Operating expenses as a percentage of sales for the first half of 1994 dropped
.5% point reflecting the continued emphasis on cost containment, especially in
health care and workers' compensation costs.

Looking ahead, management continues to be optimistic about our sales and profit
growth for the remainder of the year.  Management is particularly encouraged by
the continued sales improvement in the large Southern California market.
Profits should continue to be bolstered by very low operating expense increases.

Liquidity and capital resources
- - -------------------------------
Accounts receivable increased from $36,607,000 at December 31, 1993 to
$37,436,000 at June 30, 1994.  The increase primarily reflects the additional
sales volume recorded in the second quarter of 1994 compared with the fourth
quarter of 1993.  The decrease in inventory from $26,955,000 at
December 31, 1993 to $25,300,000 at June 30, 1994 results from the year-end
purchase of selected items in order to avoid price increases and achieve
certain discount quotas.  The increase in accounts payable at June 30, 1994
compared with December 31, 1993 primarily reflects the timing of certain
inventory purchases and scheduled payments.

National obtained the funds for the purchase of the two Los Angeles facilities
from its short-term line of credit with Chemed.  Short-term advances from Chemed
bear interest at a rate based on U.S. Treasury notes and are payable on demand.
