Abstract
This invention comprises an apparatus for storing and dispensing socks which includes an elongated tubular member of a predetermined diameter having a slot extending axially therealong and connecting to an enlarged opening at one end of the member where a base is transversely mounted thereto. Rolled socks are deposited into the open end of the tube which is slightly larger than the diameter of the socks and drop downwardly to be supported by the base. The socks are accessible through the opening as needed with the slot used to force the rolled socks downwardly, if stuck, and to provide a viewing of the socks in the tube.
