Abstract
Abstract The present invention is a new structure for a cohesive display board. The surface of the display board is treated with flocking, powdered rayon, as is the back of the item to be displayed. Contact of the flocking, on the display item and display board, will cause the display item to adhere to the display board. The cohesive force is created by the interlocking or meshing of the contiguous fiberous rayon flocking.
