Abstract
A container comprising a fiber tube and a plastic end closure is shipped and displayed at the point of purchase in a display rack. A first end of the paper fiber tube is deformed radially inwardly to close the first end of the tube. The closed first end of the tube is provided with a longitudinally recessed center portion. The plastic end closure is disposed on the second end of the tube. The plastic end closure is structured and arranged so that it provides a smooth top surface having a recessed center portion. The display rack includes a plurality of cavities, and each cavity includes a resilient finger projecting into the cavity at each of its ends. The resilient fingers project into the recessed first end of the fiber tube and into the recessed center portion of the end closure on the second end of the tube to removably secure the container in the display rack.
