Abstract
A modular rack is formed of two identical end members each with three vertically spaced openings. The end members are interconnected by tubular storage compartments which fit within each of the openings. A rectangular display card is fitted into a vertical slot laterally adjacent each of the end openings in at least one of the end members with the display card being adapted to carry a sample of the merchandise within the adjacent compartment. Additional rack units can be stacked on top of one another or can be connected together in endwise adjacency. When racks are connected in endwise adjacency the vertical slots of the two abutting end members can be coaligned so that a splicing board can be interfitted into the slots to lock the abutting end members together.
