SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (Advantage Marketing Systems, Inc., Common Stock, 
$.0001 Par Value per Share) File No. 1-13343

October 28, 1999.
    Advantage Marketing Systems, 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, Incorporated (``BSE'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The Security of the Company has been listed for trading on the BSE 
and, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed with the 
Commission which became effective on June 9, 1999, on the American 
Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex''). Trading in the Company's Security on the 
Amex commenced at the opening of business on June 15, 1999.
    In making its decision to withdraw its Security from listing and 
registration on the BSE, the Company considered the direct and indirect 
costs arising from maintaining the listing of such Security on the BSE 
and Amex simultaneously. Moreover, the Company does not see any 
particular advantage in having its Security trade in two markets and 
seeks to avoid fragmenting the market for its Security.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the BSE by filing with 
the Exchange a certified copy of the preambles and resolutions adopted 
by the Company's Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of its 
Security from listing on the BSE and by setting forth in detail to the 
Exchange the reasons for the proposed withdrawal and the facts to 
support thereof.
    The BSE has informed the Company that it has no objection to the 
withdrawal of the Company's Security from listing on the Exchange.
    The Company's application relates solely to the withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing and registration on the BSE and shall have no 
effect upon their continued listing and registration on the Amex. By 
reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules and regulations of the 
Commission thereunder, the Company shall continue to be obligated to 
file with the Commission and the Amex any reports required under 
Section 13 of the Act.
    Any interested person may, on or before November 18, 1999, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the BSE 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.
