An article display stand including a movable base having roller means thereon, laterally spaced post members extending upwardly from and supported by said base, a plurality of vertically spaced display rack supporting means mounted on each post member, each of said rack supporting means including an angularly adjustable bracket member mounted at one extremity upon and extending forwardly from a companion post member and a brace member interposed between said bracket member and said post member, upper pairs of said bracket members extending outwardly from respective post members in positions for gravity support of shelves thereon, an article supporting shelf carried by each of said upper pairs of bracket members, each said upper pair of bracket members having an elongate, perforated, relatively vertically narrow perforated display rack fixedly mounted thereon and depending from the forward extremity of said upper pairs of bracket members at substantially a right angle to and beneath the associated shelving, each of said display racks being vertically spaced from the shelf therebelow with the relatively narrow width of said display racks thus providing sufficient access space to the respective shelves therebelow, and said rack supporting means being spaced vertically a sufficient distance such that said spacing and the narrow nature of the display racks cooperate to provide a relatively unobstructed view from one side of the stand to the opposite side thereof, and the lowermost pair of bracket members inclined downwardly and forwardly from the post members toward said base, a relatively vertically wider perforated display rack supported on and substantially superimposing said lowermost pair of bracket members between said base and the post members, and hanger means associated with said relatively narrow display racks and with said relatively wider display rack for supporting articles to be displayed thereon.
