SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw from Listing 
and Registration; (Vertex Industries, Inc., Common Stock, $.005 Par 
Value) File No. 1-12612

April 21, 1997.
    Vertex Industries, Inc. (``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 Boston 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``BSE'') or Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Company's Security is listed on the NASDAQ SmallCap market 
under the symbol VETX. The Company cannot justify the expense of being 
listed on two markets and thereby wishes to be withdrawn from the BSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before May 12, 1997, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether the 
application has been made in accordance with the rules of the exchange 
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.
