SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Anicom, Inc., Common Stock, $.001 Par Value) File 
No. 1-13642

October 1, 1997.
    Anicom, 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 Chicago 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``CHX'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    The Board of Directors of the Company believes that maintenance of 
the dual listing on both the Chicago Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq 
National Market is not in the best interests of the Company's 
stockholders. No trading of the Company's Security has taken place on 
the CHX since May 1995. All of the trading activity in the Security has 
taken place on the Nasdaq National Market. Accordingly, the Board of 
Directors believes that the costs of maintaining a listing on the CHX 
do not justify the Company's continued listing on the CHX given the 
lack of trading on the Exchange.
    By letter dated September 10, 1997, the CHX states that the Company 
has complied with the Exchange's rules relating to the delisting of the 
Company's Security.
    Any interested person may, on or before October 23, 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.
