Abstract
An improved, knock-down, multiple-level, article storage and display rack may be assembled using article storage and shipping containers and dowel rod spacers. The containers, which preferably are molded plastic trays, each have a rectangular base and three retaining walls, one of which is a front wall. A display panel is angled forward from the container's front wall so that the bottom of the display panel and the bottom of the front wall cooperate to provide front, horizontal, support. A simple stand constructed to provide a pair of upright columns that fit into bottom-opening recesses in the two side walls, cooperate to provide a rear suppport for the display. Column-like dowels that fit into upper and lower recesses in the retaining walls of respective lower and upper trays are used to assemble the vertically disposed display rack.
