Abstract
Abstract A dispenser for a pad of advertising materials for dispensing and presentation on a one-by-one basis. The dispenser includes a hanger for supporting the sheets of advertising material. The hanger is attached to the sheets by a pivot through the sheets and the hanger so that the hanger can be rotated 180°. In a first position, the hanger is engaged with a price channel as is commonly used in retail outlets. The hanger uses a tab punched into the hanger to engage the price channel when it is in this first position. Upon rotation of the hanger on the pivot 180° to the second position, the hanger is attached to a vertical surface by an adhesive strip affixed to the rear of the hanger.
