Abstract

A tally system of article identification to be mounted on an article support such as a garment hanger is disclosed. In one form, tubular tallies are initially manufactured as an extruded tube and then severed into individual units of suitable length. In another form, they are individually manufactured. The article support may be provided with an upstanding boss or other projection over which the tallies are seated. The tallies and boss or other projection may be equipped with means for circumferentially indexing the tally to assure proper display. The tallies, as used, preferably have suitable information indicia applied to their exterior surface.
