Abstract
Abstract A merchandising system wherein vertically spaced horizontal brackets are secured to a long wall. Vertical poles are spaced horizontally from the walls to divide the area into multiple sections, two adjacent vertical poles defining a section. The poles have shelf corner supports which, cooperating with the brackets, provide for the mounting of shelves. Other sections are provided with vertical wire grids whereby the system accommodates standup luggage on the shelves and hang-up luggage on the wire grids.
