Abstract
Abstract Article support and display devices are provided which have an elongated body with a pair of flanges running lengthwise and extending inwardly toward one another, the inner edges of said flanges being substantially parallel and forming a slot between them, said slot being open at an end thereof, and means comprising an article supporting rod or rods of substantial length adapted to be removably mounted in said slot through said open end thereof and to extend laterally of said elongated body. Packages containing articles of merchandise can be suspended on said rods by forming a hole in one end of the package and inserting the rod through the hole. Other items can also be suspended from the rods in any suitable manner.
