SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (The Dial Corp., Common Stock, $1.50 Par Value) File 
No. 1-7687

October 10, 1996.
    The Dial Corp. (``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 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the Pacific 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``PSE'').
    The reasons alleged in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    According to the Company, the security has been listed on the PSE 
since July 18, 1939. The company has decided that it is in its best 
interest to voluntarily delist its shares in order to achieve 
administrative and cost savings, and to streamline its operations 
following the announced spin-off of its consumer products group. The 
company stated that trading on the PSE is limited to a small percentage 
of aggregate trading of the Company's shares.
    Any interested person may, on or before October 30, 1996, 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.
