A generally rectangular, open-faced inner carton includes an assembly of tie hanger rods supported from an assembly of supporting horizontal and vertical rods. The assembly of the supporting rods is supported within the inner carton by hinged flaps which are part of the carton side walls and fold inward to secure the assembly of supporting rods into the carton against the back panel thereof. The top of the inner carton folds backward and includes a flap affording an advertising panel and a tongue retained between the carton back panel and a top horizontal rod member in the display mode. The retainer assembly has a back panel formed as one piece with vertical baffles held in slots in inwardly bent portions of the retainer back panel. The inner carton with retainer assembly in place are inserted into a conventional outer carton for shipping.
