    The aggregate stated value of the Common Stock outstanding and,
with respect to rights of disposition, beneficially owned by
nonaffiliates (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of
1933) of the registrant on March 27, 1995, was approximately
$91,287,420.  Pursuant to a Voting Trust Agreement, dated as of April
15, 1987, approximately 95% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
are held of record by four Voting Trustees who are each directors of
the registrant and who collectively exercise all voting rights with
respect to such shares.  The registrant is 100% owned by its active
and retired employees, and there is no public trading market for the
registrant's Common Stock.  The registrant has the option to
repurchase, at the price at which it was issued, each outstanding
share of Common Stock in the event of the owner's death, termination
of employment other than by retirement, or desire to dispose of such
shares.  Historically all shares of Common Stock have been issued for
$20 per share, and the registrant has always exercised its repurchase
option and expects to continue to do so.

                               PART I
                               ------

Item 1.     Business
- -------     --------

       Graybar Electric Company, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged
internationally in the distribution of electrical and communications
equipment and supplies primarily to contractors, industrial plants,
telephone companies, power utilities, and commercial users.  All
products sold by the Company are purchased by the Company from others.

       The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of New
York on December 11, 1925 to take over the wholesale supply department
of Western Electric Company, Incorporated.  The location and telephone
number of the principal executive offices of the Company are 34 North
Meramec Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri (314) 727-3900, and the mailing
address of the principal executive offices is P.O. Box 7231, St.
Louis, Missouri 63177.

Suppliers
- ---------

       The Company acts as a distributor of the products of more than
1,000 manufacturers.  The relationship of the Company with a number of
its principal suppliers goes back many years.  It is customarily a
nonexclusive national or regional distributorship terminable upon 30
to 90 days notice by either party.

       During 1994, the Company purchased a significant portion of its
products from its three largest suppliers.  The termination by any of
these companies, within a short period of time, of a significant
number of their agreements with the Company might have an immediate
material adverse effect on the business of the Company, but the
Company believes that within a reasonable period of time it could find
alternate sources of supply adequate to alleviate such adverse effect.


                                    2

Products Distributed
- --------------------

       The Company distributes more than 100,000 different products
and, therefore, is able to supply its customers with a wide variety of
electrical and communications products.  The products distributed by
the Company consist primarily of wire, conduit, wiring devices,
tools, motor controls, transformers, lamps, lighting fixtures and
hardware, power transmission equipment, telephone station apparatus,
key systems, PBXs, data products for local area networks or wide
area networks, fiber optic products, and CATV products.  These
products are sold to customers such as contractors (both industrial
and residential), industrial plants, telephone companies, private
and public utilities, and commercial users.

       On December 31, 1994 and 1993, the Company had orders on hand
which totalled approximately $189,349,000 and $174,928,000,
respectively.  The Company believes that the increase from 1993 to
1994 reflects the improvements in the market sectors of the economy in
which the Company operates.  The Company expects that approximately
85% of the orders on hand at December 31, 1994 will be filled within
the twelve-month period ending December 31, 1995.  Historically,
orders on hand for the Company's products have been firm, but
customers from time to time request cancellation and the Company has
historically allowed such cancellations.

Marketing
- ---------

       The Company sells its products through a network of
distributing houses located in 15 geographical districts throughout
the United States.  In each district the Company maintains a main
distributing house and a number of branch distributing houses, each of
which carries an inventory of supply materials and operates as a
wholesale distributor for the territory in which it is located.  The
main distributing house in each district carries a substantially
larger inventory than the branch houses so that the branch houses can
call upon the main distributing house for additional items of
inventory.  In addition, the Company maintains two (2) zone warehouses
with special inventories so all locations can call upon them for
additional items.  The Company also has subsidiary operations with
distribution facilities located in Puerto Rico, Mexico, Panama, Guam,
Singapore and Canada.

       Where the specialized nature or size of a particular shipment
warrants, the Company has products shipped directly from its suppliers
to the place of use, while in other cases orders are filled from the
Company's inventory.  On a dollar volume basis, over one-half of the
orders are filled from the Company's inventory and the remainder are
shipped directly from the supplier to the place of use.  The Company
generally finances its inventory from internally generated funds and
from long and short-term borrowings.

       The Company distributes its products to more than 200,000
customers, which fall into five general classes.  The following list
shows the estimated percentage of the Company's total sales for each
of the three years ended December 31, attributable to each of these
classes:

                                                 ===========  =========   ==========


      At December 31, 1994, the Company employed approximately 2,100
persons in sales capacities.  Approximately 950 of these sales
personnel were sales representatives who work in the field making
sales to customers at the work site.  The remainder of the sales
personnel were sales and marketing managers, and telemarketing,
advertising, quotation, counter and clerical personnel.

Competition
- -----------

   The Company believes that it is the largest distributor of
electrical products not affiliated with a manufacturing company, and
one of the three largest distributors of such products in the United
States.  The field is highly competitive, and the Company estimates
that the three largest distributors of electrical products account for
only a small portion of the total market, with the balance of the
market being accounted for by independent distributors and
manufacturers operating on a local, state-wide or regional basis.

   The Company believes that its competitive position is primarily a
result of its ability to supply its customers through a network of
conveniently located distribution facilities with a broad range of
electrical and telecommunications materials within a short period of
time. Price is also important, particularly where the Company is
asked to submit bids to contractors in connection with large
construction jobs.

                                    5

Employees
- ---------

   At December 31, 1994, the Company employed approximately 5,600
persons on a full-time basis.  Approximately 140 of these persons were
covered by union contracts.  The Company has not had a material work
stoppage and considers its relations with its employees to be good.

Item 2.     Properties
- -------     ----------

   As of December 31, 1994 the Company operated offices and
distribution facilities in 238 locations.  Of these, 132 were owned by
the Company, and the balance were leased.  The leases are for varying
terms, the majority having a duration of less than five years.

   The Company's distribution facilities consist primarily of
warehouse space.  A small portion of the space in each facility is
used for offices.  Distribution facilities vary in size from
approximately 2,400 square feet to 129,000 square feet, the average
being approximately 29,000 square feet.

   As of December 31, 1994, approximately $45.2 million in debt of the
Company was secured by mortgages on thirty-three buildings.  Twenty of
these facilities are subject to a first mortgage securing a 12.25%
note, of which approximately $12.5 million in principal amount remains
outstanding.  Seven of these facilities are subject to a first
mortgage securing a 9.23% note, of which $30.0 million in principal
amount remains outstanding.

   Distribution houses in Salt Lake City, Utah; Pinellas County and
Polk County, Florida; Tucson, Arizona; Beaumont, Texas and Glendale
Heights, Illinois are subject to mortgages securing Industrial Revenue
Bonds at variable interest rates with payments totaling $2.7 million
due periodically to 2004.

Item 3.     Legal Proceedings
- -------     -----------------

   The Company has been named, together with numerous other companies,
as a co-defendant in actions by approximately 1,000 plaintiffs which
have been filed in various federal and state courts in Arkansas,
Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington, and West
Virginia.  The plaintiffs allege personal injuries due to exposure to
asbestos products and seek substantial damages.  The majority of the
complaints do not identify any products containing asbestos allegedly
sold by the Company.

                                    6
 7
However, since all products sold by the Company have been and are
purchased from suppliers, if a plaintiff were to successfully
establish an asbestos-related injury claim with respect to a product
sold by the Company, the Company believes it would normally have a
claim against its supplier.  Furthermore, the Company believes it has
product liability insurance coverage available to cover these claims.
Accordingly, based on information now known to the Company, in the
opinion of management the ultimate disposition of the asbestos-related
claims against the Company will not have a materially adverse effect
on the Company.

Item 4.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
- -------     ---------------------------------------------------

   No matter was submitted to a vote of shareholders during the fourth
quarter of the fiscal year covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

            Shareholder Matters
            -------------------

       The Company is wholly owned by its active and retired
employees, and there is no public trading market for its Common Stock,
par value $1 per share with a stated value of $20 per share.  No
shareholder may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of shares of
Common Stock without first offering the Company the option to purchase
such shares at the price at which they were issued.  The Company also
has the option to purchase the Common Stock of any shareholder who
dies or ceases to be an employee of the Company for any cause other
than retirement on a Company pension.  In the past all shares issued
by the Company have been issued at $20 per share, and the Company has
always exercised its repurchase option, and expects to continue to do
so.

       The information as to number of holders of Common Stock and
frequency and amount of dividends, required to be included pursuant to
this Item 5, is included under the captions "Capital Stock Data" and
