Domestically, automotive businesses significantly contributed to the growth in
operating revenues in 1994 compared with 1993, followed closely by the
construction businesses. The automotive businesses grew as a result of improved
penetration with the "Big Three" automotive companies and a stronger domestic
car market. Residential and nonresidential construction markets were stronger in
1994, which resulted in increased volume in the construction business. Operating
income and margins increased primarily due to sales volume gains in both the
automotive and construction businesses. Miller also contributed to the overall
improved financial performance due to strong demand in welding markets and
internal cost reductions.

From 1992 to 1993, domestic operating revenues increased due to the Miller
acquisition, along with strengthening automotive and construction markets.
Operating income increased due to the Miller acquisition, along with cost
reductions in the automotive related businesses. Due mainly to Miller's lower
margins relative to the other businesses in this segment, margins improved only
slightly.

Internationally, the European automotive business mainly contributed to the
operating revenue growth in 1994 over 1993. Increased market penetration an an
11% increase in European car builds for the year caused revenues in the European
automotive businesses to grow significantly. In 1994, the European economy
picked up faster than anticipated, which resulted in larger than expected
international revenue growth in this segment. Approximately 76% of internation-
al revenues were generated from European operations. Operating income and
margins in 1994 were up compared with 1993 primarily due to increased sales
volume coupled with improved productivity in automotive businesses. Significant
cost reductions and successful product mix marketing in the European
construction markets also contributed to operating income and margin growth.

International operating revenues were down in 1993 versus 1992 due mainly to a
recessionary European economy. Operating income and margins suffered in 1993 due
to price pressure and soft European automotive and construction markets, along
with nonrecurring costs associated with some business units.

Industrial Systems and Consumables Segment

Businesses in this segment manufacture longer lead-time systems and related
consumables for consumer and industrial packaging, industrial spray coating
equipment and systems, and quality assurance application equipment and systems.
The largest markets served by this segment are general industrial, food and
beverage, and industrial capital goods.

Domestically, operating revenues increased in 1994 versus 1993 due to increased
volume in the industrial packaging group and the finishing systems businesses
resulting from new product introductions and a growing U.S. economy. Operating
income and margins increased due to volume gains and new product introductions
in the industrial packaging and finishing systems businesses. The specialty
engineered products businesses, which serve the capital goods markets, slightly
moderated operating income growth.

Operating revenues increased in 1993 compared with 1992 due to good performances
in all domestic markets as a result of an improved U.S. economy. The finishing
systems businesses largely contributed to the increase in operating income
compared with the previous year due to benefits from significant cost reductions
implemented in 1992 and new product introductions in 1993.

Internationally, operating revenues in 1994 increased versus 1993 primarily due
to higher sales in the industrial packaging group. The consumer packaging group
also contri- buted to the revenue growth as beverage markets picked up in
Europe. Approximately 73% of international revenues in this segment are derived
from European operations. While the industrial packaging group showed revenue
growth in 1994, operating income and margins declined due to price belief given
to customers during the soft economic period in Europe. Margins are expected to
improve as the European economy strengthens and the benefits of cost reductions
are realized. The decline in the industrial packaging group's operating income
and margins was more than offset by improved profitability for the finishing
systems businesses related to new products and cost reductions.

International revenues were down in 1993 compared with with 1992 as a result of
the European recession, which significantly affected the industrial packaging
group. Operating income and margins were lower compared with 1992 as a result of
the decline in volume and increased price pressure in European markets. The
European finishing systems businesses moderated the decline in international
operating income and margins in 1993.


Operating Costs

Operating costs as a percentage of revenues were 66.2% in 1994 compared with
67.2% in 1993 and 66.1% in 1992. The decrease in 1994 versus 1993 was due to
increased sales volume coupled with the overall containment of manufacturing
costs. The increase in 1993 from 1992 was a result of European price pressure
and the acquisition of Miller, which had higher operating costs than the Company
average. 1992.

Selling, Administrative and R&D Expenses

Selling, administrative, and research and develop- ment expenses were 18.8% of
revenues in 1994 versus 19.9% in 1993 and 20.9% in 1992. This ratio was lower
because of expense reductions as a result of a Company-wide objective to reduce
administrative costs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense declined to $26.9 million in 1994, versus $35.0 million in
1993, primarily due to a reduction in commercial paper borrowings and foreign
borrowings.  Interest expense declined in 1993 from $42.9 million in 1992. 1992
due to the reduction of foreign debt with higher interest rates and lower
domestic interest rates on commercial paper.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income(expense) increased to net expense of $14.6 million in 1994 versus
$7.7 million in 1993, primarily due to an increase in nonrecurring costs
unrelated to operations, partially offset by gains on sales of plant and
equipment in 1994 versus losses in 1993. Increased nonrecurring costs and lower
interest income resulted in net expense in 1993 compared with net other income
of $8.7 million in 1992.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 38.3% in 1994, 38.5% in 1993 and 38.0% in 1992. See
the Provision for Income Taxes footnote for a reconciliation of the Federal
statutory rate to the effective tax rate.  Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, was adopted in 1993 and had no
material impact on earnings.

Net Income

Net income in 1994 of $277.8 million ($2.45 per share) was 34.5% higher than the
1993 net income of $206.6 million ($1.83 per share). Net income for 1993 was
7.5% higher than 1992 net income of $192.1 million ($1.72 per share).

Foreign Currency

Foreign currency had no material impact on earnings in 1994 versus 1993. The
strong U.S. dollar against European currency resulted in a reduction of net
income by 4 cents per share in 1993 compared with 1992.

The increase in trade receivables in 1994 was primarily due to higher operating
revenues in the fourth quarter of 1994 versus 1993. Inventories increased $35.6
million in 1994 mainly as a result of 1994 acquisitions.

Short-term debt decreased in 1994 as a result of the reduction of short-term
commercial paper borrowings of $63.9 million, partially offset by an increase in
bank overdrafts. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased at December 31,
1994 versus year-end 1993 due to overall business growth and acquisitions.

Long-term debt at December 31, 1994 consisted of $125 million of 7-1/2% notes
due in 1998, $125 million of 5-7/8% notes due in 2000 and $23 million of
capitalized lease obligations and other debt. Long-term debt decreased $103
million from December 31, 1993, principally as a result of the repayment of all
commercial paper borrowings ($164 million) during 1994. The percentage of total
debt to total capitalization decreased to 18.1% at December 31, 1994, from 27.7%
at December 31, 1993.

Stockholders' equity was $1.542 billion at December 31, 1994 compared with
$1.259 billion at December 31, 1993. Affecting equity were earnings of $278
million, dividends declared of $64 million and favorable currency translation
adjustments of $37 million related to stronger European currencies.

The Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 is

Net cash provided by operating activities of $387 million in 1994 and $314
million in 1993 was used mainly for repayment of commercial paper borrowings in
1994 and for additions to plant and equipment and cash dividends in both years.
Cash provided by the proceeds from long-term debt in 1993 was used principally
to fund acquisitions.

Dividends paid per share increased 10.2% to $.54 per share in 1994 from $.49 in
1993. The Company expects to continue to meet its dividend payout objective of
25-30% of the average of the last three years' net income.

Management continues to believe that internally generated funds will be adequate
to service existing debt and maintain appropriate debt to total capitalization
and earnings to fixed charge ratios. Internally generated funds are also
expected to be adequate to finance internal growth and small-to-medium sized
acquisitions for cash. The Company has additional debt capacity for larger
acquisitions.

Report of Independent Public Accountants

To the Board of Directors of Illinois Tool Works Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying statement of financial position of Illinois
Tool Works Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and Subsidiaries as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of income, income reinvested in the
business and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
   We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

   In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Illinois Tool Works Inc. and
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended

Comments on Financial Statements
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comments and Associated Schedules in this section furnish additional information
on items in the financial statements. The comments have been arranged in the
same order as the related items appear in the statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consolidation and Translation -- The financial statements include the Company
and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions
are eliminated from the financial statements. The majority of the Company's
foreign subsidiaries have November 30 fiscal year-ends to facilitate inclusion
of their financial statements in the December 31 financial statements.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Industry Segment and Geographic Information -- The Company's operations are
divided into two segments: Engineered Components, and Industrial Systems and
Consumables. See Management's Discussion and Analysis for a description of the
segments and information regarding operating revenues and operating income.

   Significant accounting principles and policies of Illinois Tool Works Inc.
("the Company") are highlighted in italics. Certain reclassifications of prior
years' data have been made to conform with current year reporting.

   Foreign subsidiaries' assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars
at end-of-period exchange rates. Revenues and expenses are translated at average
rates for the period. Translation adjustments are not included in income but are
reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

   No single customer accounted for more than 10% of consolidated revenues in
1994, 1993 or 1992. Export sales from the United States were less than 10% of
total operating revenues during these years.
   Additional segment and geographic information for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was as
follows:

Acquisitions and Dispositions - In March 1993, the Company acquired the Miller
Group Ltd. (Miller), a manufacturer of arc welding equipment. The acquisition
has been accounted for as a pooling of interests, and accordingly, the results
of operations have been included in the Statement of Income as of the beginning
of 1993. The impact of Miller on consolidated revenues, net income and earnings
per share for 1993 and 1992 was not significant. Therefore, the 1992 financial
statements have not been restated to reflect the acquisition of Miller.

   During 1994, 1993 and 1992, the Company acquired and disposed of other
operations which did not materially affect consolidated results.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depreciation was $109,805,000 in 1994 compared with $109,852,000 in 1993 and
$100,462,000 in 1992 and was reflected primarily in operating costs.
Depreciation of plant and equipment for financial reporting is computed
principally on an accelerated basis.  Equipment leased to others is depreciated
over the noncancelable period of the related lease.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Research and Development Costs are recorded as expense in the year incurred.
These costs were $47,500,000 in 1994, $47,200,000 in 1993 and $42,500,000 in
1992.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rental Expense was $29,720,000 in 1994, $30,550,000 in 1993 and $30,613,000 in
1992.

The Provision For Income Taxes - Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes, using the current-year recognition approach. SFAS No. 109 utilizes
the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are
determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the
financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities given the provisions of the
enacted tax laws. Prior to January 1, 1993, the income tax provision was
computed using Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 11, which is based on the
income and expense in the Statement of Income. The adoption of SFAS No. 109 had
no material impact on the Company's results of operations in 1993.
   The components of the provision for income taxes were as shown below:

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include material,
labor and factory overhead. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) method is used to
determine the cost of the inventories of most domestic operations. The first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method is used for all other inventories. Inventories priced at
LIFO were 43% and 46% of total inventories as of December 31, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. Under the FIFO method, which approximates current cost, total
inventories would have been approximately $40,700,000 and $42,800,000 higher
than reported at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

   The LIFO inventory values of certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company
differ from the LIFO inventory values for tax purposes because of the
application of purchase accounting. Inventories for financial statement purposes
exceeded inventories for tax purposes by approximately $21,700,000 and
$22,000,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

Goodwill represents the excess cost over fair value of the net assets of
purchased businesses. Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over
15 to 40 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of unamortized goodwill
by reviewing the sufficiency of estimated future operating income or
undiscounted cash flows of the related entity to cover the amortization during
the remaining amortization period.
   Amortization expense was $14,031,000 in 1994, $13,268,000 in 1993 and
$12,262,000 in 1992. Accumulated goodwill amortization was $79,672,000 and

Retirement Plans - The Company sponsors defined contribution retirement plans
covering substantially all domestic employees. The Company's contributions to
these plans were $8,400,000 in 1994, $6,900,000 in 1993 and $6,200,000 in 1992.
   The Company provides substantially all employees with pension benefits. The
Company's principal domestic plan provides benefits based on years of service
and compensation levels during the latter years of employment. Other domestic
and foreign plans provide benefits similar to the principal domestic plan.
   In late 1992, the principal domestic pension plan was amended to provide an
early retirement supplement to be paid to future retirees from their early
retirement date to age 65. The pension supplement increased the prior service
cost as of December 31, 1992 by $25,700,000.
   Subject to the limitation on deductibility imposed by Federal income tax
laws, the Company's policy has been to contribute funds to the plans annually in
amounts required to maintain sufficient plan assets to provide for accrued
benefits. Due to the current overfunded status of the principal plan, no
contributions to this plan were made in 1994, 1993 or 1992 and none are expected
to be made for the next several years. The previously mentioned amendment will
not significantly affect the status of future contributions. Other domestic plan
contributions were minimal in 1994, 1993 and 1992. Domestic plan assets consist
primarily of listed common stocks and debt securities.
   The components of net pension expense for the years ended December 31, 1994,
1993 and 1992 were as shown below:

Postretirement Health Care Benefits - The Company provides health care benefits
to substantially all retired domestic employees and their covered dependents.
Generally, employees who have reached age 55 and rendered 10 years of service
are eligible for these benefits, which are subject to retiree contributions,
deductibles, copayment provisions and other limitations.
   Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions. This standard requires that the expected cost of
health care benefits be charged to expense during the service lives of employees
rather than the cash basis method previously used. The Company has elected to
amortize the unfunded accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (APBO) of
$145,500,000 as of January 1, 1993 over 20 years.
   A one-percentage point increase in the health care cost trend rate would
increase the APBO as of December 31, 1994 by approximately $13,668,000 and the
sum of the 1994 annual service and interest cost by approximately $1,666,000.
   Prior to 1993, the cost of providing postretirement health care benefits net
of retiree contributions was recognized as expense as claims were paid and
amounted to $8,900,000 in 1992.
   The costs of postretirement health care benefits under SFAS No. 106 for the
years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 were as shown below:

outstanding at December 31, 1993 was 3.3%.
