A one-piece, collapsible, paperboard, dispensing carton having in one side wall adjacent an upper end of the carton an integral pour spout that can be pulled part way out of the carton for dispensing. The pour spout is formed from material of one of the carton side wall panels and has a slit and a projecting tab that are engageable with another carton panel to hold the pour spout in proper open position for dispensing and to prevent the pour spout from being accidentally pulled completely out of the carton.
