Abstract

A cabinet for storing and selectively dispensing a variety of paper supplies in web form carries separate boxes of webs on vertically spaced decks of a turntable within the cabinet. The boxes on one deck are offset with respect to the boxes on the other deck so that webs from the lower deck can pass upward between boxes on the upper deck. The ends of webs from all the boxes are held at a common level adjacent the under side of the cabinet top, and a slot in the top permits withdrawal of any web as it is aligned with the slot by rotating the turntable.
