ADVANTAGE EYEING EXPANSION FOLLOWING INTERPUBLIC ACQUISITION

          Advantage Int'l Inc. plans an "active" expansion
     "fueled" by capital from its new owner, Interpublic Group of
     Cos. Inc., according to John Lombardo of the WASHINGTON
     BUSINESS JOURNAL.  Advantage "may" expand to the Far East
     and add other sporting events and sports agencies to its
     roster.  Advantage Managing Dir Lee Fentress: "It's the
     first time we have a lot of capital in the form of stock. 
     We are looking to open an office ... either in Hong Kong or
     in Singapore.  There are a number of events out that way,
     and we have clients such as MasterCard that are interested
     in that region."  Fentress added Advantage will look for
     more tennis and golf events and "may" purchase a sports
     agency to expand its client list (BUSINESS JOURNAL, 5/23).
