SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Handleman Company, Common Stock $(0.01 Par Value) 
No. 1-7923

September 8, 1995.
    Handleman Company (``Company'') has filed an application with the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to 
Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and Rule 
12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
securities (``Securities'') from listing and registration on the 
Chicago Stock Exchange, Incorporated (``CHX'') and the Pacific Stock 
Exchange Incorporated (``PSE'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the 
Securities from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the Executive Committee of the Board of 
Directors of the Company (``Committee''), pursuant to lawfully 
delegated authority, unanimously approved a resolution on April 26, 
1995 to withdraw the Security's listing on the CHX and the PSE and to 
maintain its listing and registration on the New York Stock Exchange, 
Inc. (``NYSE''). The decision of the Committee followed a study of the 
matter, and was based upon the belief that the listings on the CHX and 
the PSE were no longer beneficial to the Company because: (1) Listing 
the Security on the CHX, the PSE, and the NYSE was no longer cost 
effective in light of the low annual trading volume of the Security on 
the CHX and the PSE; (2) the presence of a substantial national and 
liquid market for the Security on the NYSE; and (3) the continuing need 
for the Company to reduce the costs of doing business in the current 
competitive environment in which the Company operates.
    Any interested person may, on or before September 29, 1995 submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the exchanges and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the 
Commission for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on 
the information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
