Abstract
A merchandise display system is provided having a plurality of modular display racks adapted to be disposed in longitudinally aligned relationship and having a pair of elongated mounting ribs adapted to be disposed in longitudinally aligned relationship to the racks and to mechanically interconnect with the racks. The rails are adhesively secured to a supporting structure and fix the display racks with respect to that structure. Each display rack includes a generally horizontally disposed base support surface and an upstanding wall that is inclined rearwardly to form an upwardly opening, longitudinally extending V-shaped article supporting surface on which elongated articles of merchandise such as candles may be displayed in an upstanding position on the base support surface and reposed against the supporting wall. The base surface and supporting wall are formed with alternating rib and groove conformations that cooperate with the candles to prevent their displacement and cooperate with partition plates inserted in respective grooves in frictional engagement with spaced pairs of plates defining compartments for segregating of the different types of candles.
