A hanger assembly includes a U-shaped hanger and a separate bracket for mounting the hanger on a perforated panel. The bracket is formed so as to enable the hanger to be quickly and easily attached to and detached from the bracket.

Persons are prevented from being accidentally jabbed or snagged by the outwardly projecting arm of a 'Pegboard hook' by a flexible guard adapted to overlie the arm and formed with a shield for substantially enclosing the outer end of the arm. The guard is formed by two slidably telescoped sections which may be adjusted to change the effective length of the guard and enable the guard to be used with hanger arms of different lengths.

Hanger bolts are delivered one-by-one from a hopper and each is picked up by a reciprocating holder which shifts the bolt laterally and broadwise into alinement with a power-rotated chuck. The bolt then is pushed endwise into the chuck by a furniture leg and is threaded into the leg as an incident to being turned about its own axis by the chuck. A shelf, a gate and an escapement coact to effect delivery of the bolts from the hopper to the holder in timed relation with the reciprocation of the holder.

The upper ends of display packages are formed with hooks and notches which enable a first package to hang either directly or substantially directly from a perforated panel and to enable each succeeding package to hang directly from and in front of the immediately preceding package so that a series of packages may be hung in a forwardly extending row without need of a forwardly projecting hook for supporting the packages.
