Abstract
A paint brush merchandising system characterized by a display hanger including a wire body bent intermediate its length at an acute angle to form a rear article storage portion and an angled front article display portion. Attachment means are provided at the rear end of the wire body for removable yet secure mounting to an upright panel such as an aperture panel with the storage portion extending substantially normal to the panel and the display portion at an upwardly inclined angle in the vertical plane of the storage portion. The display hanger also includes a covering of soft resilient material on the display portion over substantially the length thereof which covering is operative to effect a wedging or binding action at the handle hole of one or more paint brushes threaded thereon for holding such brushes upwardly tilted on the display portion for easy removal and viewing. Other brushes may be stored inwardly of the upwardly tilted brushes on the storage portion in vertical hanging disposition adjacent the panel and clear of the upwardly tilted brushes.
