Abstract
A cabinet for displaying and dispensing vertical stacks of small packages, such as packs of cigarettes, is adapted to be mounted over a store's check-out counter. The shopper's side of the package displaying dispenser is transparent, so that the shopper can see the merchandise. The clerk's side of the package displaying dispenser has an upper opening which permits loading of packages onto the stacks and a lower slot which permits the clerk to withdraw one package at a time from the bottom of any selected stack. A similar package displaying dispenser is mounted on the rear side of the one just described, so that the packages in the rear one can be seen through the one in front, and so that the clerk can withdraw packages from both.
