Secretary of the Company at the above address a subsequent proxy or a written
notice of revocation of the proxy, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting
in person. In the absence of any contrary written direction in the proxy, each
proxy will be voted for the election of the nominees for director named in this
proxy statement and in the proxy, and, in the best judgment of the persons named
in the proxy as representatives, upon any other matters which may properly come
before the Annual Meeting. The Company's Annual Report for the year ended
December 31, 1994, including financial statements, and this Proxy Statement and

Each shareholder of record at the close of business on March 20, 1995, the

---------------
(1) The percent of class figures in this table and throughout this proxy
statement are based upon the number of the outstanding shares of the
Company as of February 14, 1995 (586,648).
(2) The nature of the beneficial ownership of these shares is discussed in the
following paragraphs.
John A. Morrissey, Walter W. Morrissey and Carol M. Showel may be deemed to
constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and each may be deemed therefore to be the
beneficial owner of the shares beneficially owned by the others. As of February
14, 1995, John A. Morrissey beneficially owned 90,508 shares (15.4%), of which
33,770 (5.8%) were beneficially owned by him with sole voting and investment
power, and 56,738 (9.7%) were beneficially owned by him as co-trustee of certain
trusts, with shared voting and investment power. As of February 14, 1995, Walter
W. Morrissey beneficially owned 89,102 shares (15.2%), of which 32,364 (5.5%)
were beneficially owned by him with sole voting and investment power, and 56,738
(9.7%) were beneficially owned by him as co-trustee of certain trusts, with
shared voting and investment power. As of February 14, 1995, Carol M. Showel
beneficially owned 64,537 shares (11.0%), of which 8,484 (1.4%) were
beneficially owned by her with sole voting and investment power, and 56,053
(9.6%) were beneficially owned by her as co-trustee of a certain trust, with
shared voting and investment power. The group consisting of John A. Morrissey,
Walter W. Morrissey and Carol M. Showel may be deemed to be a beneficial owner
of a total of 131,356 shares (22.4%).
All of the 37,800 shares (6.4%) deemed to be beneficially owned by
Dimensional Fund Advisors Inc. ("Dimensional"), a registered investment advisor,
as of February 14, 1995 were held
2

in portfolios of DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., a registered open-end
investment company, or in series of The DFA Investment Trust Company, a Delaware
business trust, or the DFA Group Trust and the DFA Participating Group Trust,
investment vehicles for qualified employee benefit plans, all of which
Dimensional serves as investment manager. Dimensional holds sole investment
power as to all 37,800 shares and sole voting power as to 21,800 shares (3.7%).
DFA Investment Dimensions Group Inc., certain officers of which are also
officers of Dimensional, has sole voting power with respect to 14,200 of the
remaining shares (2.4%), and the DFA Investment Trust Company, certain officers
of which are also officers of Dimensional, has sole voting power with respect to
1,800 (0.3%) shares. Although, under the reporting requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Dimensional is deemed to be the beneficial
owner of such shares, Dimensional expressly disclaims such beneficial ownership.
All of the 37,000 shares (6.3%) listed as beneficially owned as of February
14, 1995 by Quest Advisory Corp. were beneficially owned by Quest Advisory Corp.
with sole voting and investment power. Quest Advisory Corp. is a registered
investment advisor, and beneficially owns shares in its capacity as such. In
addition, as a controlling person of Quest Advisory Corp., Charles M. Royce may
be deemed to beneficially own such shares, although Mr. Royce disclaims
beneficial ownership of all such shares.
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS
Shareholder proposals for inclusion in proxy materials for the Company's
1996 Annual Meeting should be addressed to the Company's Secretary, P.O. Box
3061, 901 Frontenac Road, Naperville, Illinois 60566, and must be received by
the Company on or before December 2, 1995.
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
A Board of six directors is to be elected at the Annual Meeting, to serve
until the next Annual Meeting and until their successors shall have been elected
and shall qualify. The shares represented by proxies received by the Board of
Directors will be voted, in the absence of any contrary direction therein, for
the election of the nominees hereinafter listed and described. The Board of
Directors believes that the persons named will be available, but, if any nominee
is unable or unwilling to serve as director, the proxies will be voted for
another individual to be selected by the Board of Directors.
A majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company will constitute
a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Election as a director requires a plurality of
the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, so the six nominees who receive the
largest number of votes cast will be elected as directors. An affirmative vote
of a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of any proposal submitted to
shareholders (except for election of directors). Abstentions, withheld votes and
broker non-votes are counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence
of a quorum. Abstentions are counted as votes
3
6
against a proposal, whereas broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of
determining whether a proposal has been approved. For any nominee, withheld
votes will have no effect on the election of that nominee.
In the election of directors, voting rights are cumulative, which means
that each shareholder is entitled to as many votes as are equal to the number of
his shares multiplied by the number of directors to be elected (six). Each
shareholder may cast all of such votes for one nominee or may distribute them
among two or more nominees in his discretion. In the absence of any contrary
written direction in the proxy, the proxy will confer discretionary authority on
the persons named therein as representatives to cumulate votes selectively among
the nominees in the manner just described.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding the Board of
Directors' nominees for director, including their ages, principal occupations
and beneficial ownership of common shares of the Company, and information
regarding the beneficial ownership of such shares by each executive officer of
the Company named in this proxy statement and by all directors and executive
officers of the Company as a group:

PROFIT SHARING PLAN
The Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. Profit Sharing Trust (the "Employees'
Trust") is a part of a profit sharing plan established by the Company for the
benefit of its officers and employees. Participants include all employees of the
Company who have completed one year of service with the Company.
The Company makes contributions to the Employees' Trust pursuant to a
formula based on the Company's annual earnings. The Company may also contribute
such other amounts out of current or retained earnings as may be determined by
the Board of Directors. The Company's
7
10
contributions are allocated among eligible participants in proportion to their
respective compensation.
Each participant has a balance in the Employees' Trust consisting of his
share of Company contributions, amounts forfeited by other participants and
trust fund earnings. Each participant's balance vests over a five-year period,
beginning after his third year of employment. Full vesting also occurs,
regardless of length of employment, when a participating employee reaches normal
retirement age, dies or becomes permanently and totally disabled.
The Plan also contains a 401(K) feature pursuant to which participants may
elect to have a portion (up to 10%) of their compensation contributed to the
Employees' Trust in lieu of receiving it in cash. These contributions are always
fully vested and nonforfeitable.
Participants may also make nondeductible voluntary contributions of up to
10% of compensation to their balance in the Employees' Trust, which vest
immediately. Company contributions and voluntary contributions received by the
Employees' Trust are held and invested by the Trustee, subject to direction as
to asset allocation by the administrative committee for the Employees' Trust.
401(K) contributions made to the Employees' Trust are invested in accordance
with participants' investment directions among certain investment funds
established by the administrative committee and sponsored by the Trustee.
Distribution of a participant's vested balance is made on termination of
employment, or later, if the participant so requests, subject to certain
limitations. Generally, distribution is made in a lump sum or in installments
extending over no more than 10 years. Participants may request a loan from the
Plan of an amount that does not exceed the lesser of 50% of the participant's
401(K) contributions or $50,000. Voluntary contributions may be withdrawn as of
the last day of any calendar quarter.
INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
The firm of Price Waterhouse LLP served as the Company's independent
certified public accountants for 1994. The Board of Directors has again
designated that firm as the Company's independent certified public accountants
for 1995. A representative of that firm is expected to be present at the
Company's 1995 Annual Meeting of Shareholders with the opportunity to make a
statement, if so desired, and to be available to respond to appropriate
questions.
