Item 1.  BUSINESS

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS

      Lancaster Colony Corporation was reincorporated in Ohio effective January
2, 1992.  Prior to this date Lancaster Colony Corporation had been a Delaware
Corporation organized in 1961.  As used herein the term "registrant," unless
the context otherwise requires, refers to Lancaster Colony Corporation and its
subsidiaries.

DESCRIPTION OF AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT BUSINESS SEGMENTS

      The registrant operates in three business segments - specialty foods,
automotive, and glassware and candles - which accounted for approximately 40%,
33% and 27%, respectively, of consolidated net sales for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1994.  The financial information relating to business segments for the
three years ended June 30, 1994, appearing in Exhibit 13 in this Form 10-K
Annual Report, is incorporated by reference.  Further description of each 
business segment the registrant operates within is provided below.

                                SPECIALTY FOODS

      The food products manufactured and sold by the registrant include salad
dressings and sauces marketed under the brand names "Marzetti," "Pfeiffer" and
"Girard's"; frozen unbaked pies marketed under the brand names "Mountain Top"
and "Reames"; hearth-baked frozen breads marketed under the brand name "New
York Frozen Foods"; refrigerated chip and produce dips, dairy snacks and
desserts marketed under the brand names "Oak Lake Farms," "Allen" and/or
"Marzetti"; premium dry egg noodles marketed under the brand names "Inn Maid"
and "Amish Kitchen"; frozen specialty noodles, pastas, and breaded specialty
items marketed under the brand name "Reames" and caviar marketed under the
brand name "Romanoff."

      The salad dressings and sauces are manufactured in Columbus, Ohio;
Wilson, New York; Atlanta, Georgia and Milpitas, California.  The dressings are
sold in various metropolitan areas with sales being made both to retail and
foodservice markets.

      The frozen unbaked pies are marketed principally in the midwestern United
States through salesmen and food brokers to institutional distributors and
retail outlets.  A significant portion of the frozen bread sales is directed to
the foodservice market.

      The refrigerated chip and produce dips, dairy snacks and desserts are
sold through food brokers and distributors primarily in the midwestern and
southeastern parts of the United States.  The distribution of these products to
other parts of the country has significantly increased over the last three
years.

      The dry egg noodles are marketed by brokers principally in Ohio,
Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky.

      The "Reames" line is sold through brokers and distributors in various
metropolitan areas principally in the central and midwestern United States.

      This segment is not dependent upon a single customer or a few customers,
the loss of any one or more of which would have a significant adverse effect on
operating results.  Although the Company is a leading producer of salad
dressings, all of the markets in which the registrant sells food products are
highly competitive in the areas of price, quality and customer service.


                                      2

     During fiscal year 1994, the registrant obtained adequate supplies of raw
materials for this segment.

      The registrant's firm order backlog at June 30, 1994, in this business
segment, was approximately $3,089,000 as compared to a backlog of approximately
$2,749,000 as of the end of the preceding fiscal year.  It is expected that all
of these orders will be filled during the current fiscal year.  The operations
of this segment are not affected to any material extent by seasonal
fluctuations.  The registrant does not utilize any franchises or concessions in
this business segment.  The trade names under which it operates are significant
to the overall success of this segment.  However, the patents and licenses
under which it operates are not essential to the overall success of this
segment.

                                   AUTOMOTIVE

      The registrant manufactures and sells a complete line of rubber, vinyl
and carpeted car mats both in the aftermarket and to original equipment
manufacturers.  Other products are pickup truck bed mats, running boards, bed
liners and other accessories for pickup trucks and vans, truck and trailer
splash guards and quarter fenders, accessories such as tissue holders, litter
caddies and oil drain pans and new car components.  The automotive aftermarket
products are marketed primarily through mass merchandisers and automotive
outlets under the name "Rubber Queen" and the registrant sells bed liners under
the "Protecta" and "Line-A-Bed" trademarks, running boards under the "Dee Zee"
name, as well as under private labels.  Although minor, rubber matting sales
are also included in this segment.  The aggregate sales of two customers
accounted for approximately 32% of this segment's total net sales during 1994.
No other customer accounted for more than 10% of this segment's total net
sales.  Although the Company is a market leader in many of its product lines,
all the markets in which the registrant sells automotive products are highly
competitive in the areas of design, price, quality and customer service.

      During fiscal year 1994, the registrant obtained adequate supplies of raw
materials for this segment.

      The registrant's firm order backlog at June 30, 1994, in this business
segment, was approximately $12,503,000 as compared to a backlog of
approximately $7,257,000 as of the end of the preceding fiscal year.  It is
expected that all of these orders will be filled during the current fiscal
year.  The operations of this segment are not affected to any material extent
by seasonal fluctuations.  The registrant does not utilize any significant
franchises or concessions in this segment.  The patents, trademarks and
licenses under which it operates are generally not essential to the overall
success of this segment.

                             GLASSWARE AND CANDLES

      Glass products include a broad range of machine pressed and machine blown
consumer glassware and technical glass products such as cathode ray tubes,
lighting components, lenses and silvered reflectors.

      Consumer glassware includes a diverse line of decorative and ornamental
products such as tumblers, bowls, pitchers, jars and barware.  These products
are marketed under a variety of trademarks, the most important of which are
"Indiana Glass," "Tiara," "Colony" and "Fostoria." The registrant also
purchases domestic and imported blown glassware which is sold through Colony, a
marketing division, and some domestic handcrafted ware sold through its Tiara
home party marketing plan.

     Glass vases and containers are sold both in the retail and wholesale
florist markets under the trade name "Brody" as well as under private label.

      Candles of all sizes, forms and scents are sold in the mass merchandise
markets as well as to supermarkets, drug stores and specialty shops under

                                      3
   4


the name "Candle-lite."  Private label business is also an important part of
the candle market.

      The registrant's glass and candle products are sold to discount,
department, variety and drug stores, as well as to jobbers and directly to
retail customers.  Commercial markets such as foodservice, hotels, hospitals
and schools are also served by this segment's products.   All the markets in
which the registrant sells houseware products are highly competitive in the
areas of design, price, quality and customer service.  During 1994, sales of
glassware and candles to one customer accounted for approximately 12% of this
segment's total net sales.  No other customer accounted for more than 10% of
this segment's total net sales.

      During fiscal year 1994, the registrant obtained adequate supplies of raw
materials for this business segment.

      The registrant's firm order backlog at June 30, 1994, in this business
segment, was approximately $24,229,000 as compared to approximately $23,142,000
as of the end of the preceding fiscal year.  It is expected that all of these
orders will be filled during the current fiscal year.  Seasonal retail stocking
patterns cause certain of this segment's products to experience increased sales
in the first half of the fiscal year. The registrant does not use any
franchises or concessions in this segment.  The patents and licenses under
which it operates are not essential to the overall success of this segment.
However, certain trademarks are important to this segment's marketing efforts.

NET SALES BY CLASS OF PRODUCTS

      The following table sets forth business segment information with respect
to the percentage of net sales contributed by each class of similar products
which accounted for at least 10% of the Company's consolidated net sales in any
fiscal year from 1992 through 1994.

GENERAL BUSINESS

                            RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

      The estimated amount spent during each of the last three fiscal years on
research and development activities determined in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles is not considered material.

                             ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

      Certain of the registrant's operations are subject to compliance with
various air emission standards promulgated under Title V of the Federal Clean
Air Act.  The effective date of compliance with such standards is scheduled to
occur in the registrant's fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.  The registrant is
currently developing a compliance strategy to submit to the related Federal
agency for approval.  Based upon available information, compliance with the
Federal Clean Air Act provisions, as well as other various Federal, state and
local environmental protection laws and regulations, is not expected to have a
material adverse effect upon the level of capital expenditures, earnings or the
competitive position of the registrant for the remainder of the current and
succeeding fiscal year.  See also Item 3 for a discussion of pending
environmental matters.

      Financial information relating to foreign operations and export sales
have not been significant in the past and are not expected to be significant in
the future based on existing operations.

Item 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    On January 28, 1991, a cost recovery action under Section 107 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA")
was filed against Pretty Products, Inc. ("Pretty Products") and the registrant
in the United States District Court ("Court") for the Southern District of Ohio
in a proceeding styled UNITED STATES VS. PRETTY PRODUCTS, ET AL.  The complaint
seeks recovery of response costs allegedly incurred or to be incurred by the
EPA in connection with the cleanup of the Coshocton City Landfill. The
complaint also contains a claim for penalties under Section 104(e) of CERCLA
for an alleged failure to respond properly to certain information requests, but
this claim has been partially settled and the Court has indicated it is not
inclined to award penalties against the registrant or Pretty Products on the
record before it.  Pretty Products and the registrant are defending the
complaint on various grounds, among them the defense that the EPA's response
costs are overstated.  During fiscal 1994, the parties reached a tentative
settlement of all remaining claims totaling approximately $1,700,000, the full
amount of which has been provided for in the registrant's consolidated
financial statements as of June 30, 1994 and is exclusive of any future
insurance recoveries.  The tentative settlement is subject to the approval of
the Department of Justice before it is presented to the Court in the form of a
proposed consent decree.  The consent decree will become binding on Pretty
Products and the registrant when it is approved and entered by the Court, which
is expected to occur prior to December 31, 1994.  If approved, it is
anticipated the registrant will pay the claims during fiscal 1995.  It is the
opinion of management that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not
have a material adverse affect on its financial condition or results of
operations, whether or not it obtains recovery from its insurance companies.
