Report of Independent Auditors
Trustees
Alco Standard Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Alco Standard Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan'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 net assets available for benefits of the Alco
Standard Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan at December 31, 1994 and 1993,
and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the years then
ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994, and transactions or series
of transactions in excess of 5% of the current value of plan assets for the year
then ended are presented for purposes of complying with the Department of
Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of the
financial statements. The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1994 financial statements and,
in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
1994 financial statements taken as a whole.

Alco Standard Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1994
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investments in the Fixed Income Fund and Investment Contract Fund are stated at
the contract value as estimated by the individual insurance companies. Contract
value represents contributions made under the contract, plus interest at the
contract rate, less funds used to pay retirement benefits and to pay for the
insurance company's administrative charge. Investments in Alco common stock and
Georgia-Pacific common stock are determined by use of the last reported sales
price on the last business day of the plan year, as reported on a national
security exchange. Investments in the Equity Fund, Index Fund and Balanced
Fund are stated at fair value which is determined on the last day of the plan
year based on the portfolio of investments owned by the particular fund on that
date. Cash equivalents are valued at cost which is equal to market value.
Realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments represents the sum of the
change in the difference between December 31 market value and cost of
investments and the difference between the proceeds received and the cost of
investments sold.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Alco Standard Corporation Capital Accumulation Plan (the Plan) is a defined
contribution plan made available to certain employees of the Unijax Sloan
Division of Unisource Worldwide, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alco
Standard Corporation (the Company).
The Plan was amended effective December 31, 1993 to fully vest all participants
in their account balances under the Plan as of December 31, 1993; to provide
that no new participants will be admitted to the Plan after December 31, 1993;
and to provide that no further contributions to the Plan will be made after
December 31, 1993.
Prior to the amendment, employees with at least one month's service were
eligible to participate in the Plan. Participants could contribute from one to
sixteen percent of their salary on a before-tax basis by means of payroll
deductions, so long as such amount did not exceed the maximum allowable under
the Internal Revenue Code.
The Company contributed amounts determined each year based upon the level of the
participant's contributions and the profitability of the Unijax Sloan location
which employed the participant.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)
Effective January 1, 1994, the Butler Paper Company Capital Accumulation Plan,
an affiliated plan, was merged into the Plan. Assets of $58,409,593, including
229,887 shares of Georgia-Pacific Corporation common stock, with a market value
of $15,805,000, were transferred into the Plan on January 1, 1994.
Effective January 1, 1994, Vanguard Fiduciary Trust Company became record-keeper
and custodian of the Plan. Investment funds offered by the Plan after January
1, 1994 consist of a balanced fund (equity and fixed income investments), an
index fund (equity investments) and an investment contract fund (guaranteed
investment contracts). Participants in the Plan may allocate their account
between investments in Alco Standard Corporation common stock or any of three
investment funds described above. No additional investments may be made
in Georgia-Pacific common stock. Participants may change investment allocations
at any time, but not more frequently than once per quarter of the Plan year.
The Plan provided for an additional investment option (the "Alco Option") which
allowed the participants to invest 1-6% of their salary on a pretax basis in
Alco stock with an automatic 66-2/3% employer matching contribution.
Participants who elected the Alco option were not eligible to participate in the
other investment options offered by the Plan.
Upon termination of employment, all vested benefits are distributed in a
single-sum payment with respect to the investment funds. Distributions of
vested benefits in Alco common stock or Georgia-Pacific common stock are made in
cash unless the participant elects a distribution in shares of the respective
common stock.
When a participant dies, the beneficiary receives the value of the participant's
Plan account in a single cash payment.
The Plan also allowed participants who cease to be eligible to participate in
the Alco Standard Corporation Stock Participant Plan (SPP) due to their transfer
of employment to Unijax Sloan to transfer their account balance from the SPP to
the Plan. During the second quarter 1993, 8,775 shares of Alco common stock,
with a market value of $433,467, were transferred to the Plan.
Information about the Plan is contained in the Summary Plan Description. Copies
of this document are available from the Plan Administrator.

3. INCOME TAXES
The Internal Revenue Services has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the related trust is
not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once qualified, the Plan is
required to operate in conformity with the IRC to maintain its qualification.
The Trustees are not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
4. INVESTMENTS
Individual investments that represent 5% or more of the fair value of net
assets available for benefits are as follows:
