Abstract

The tray has at least one cushion of an expanded cellular foam rubber or plastic so as to provide a friction engagement of the tray against a wall upon leaning of the device against the wall whan the tray is used in conjunction with a pole suitable for the intended height of the wallpaper border. The tray with the shaft in a container serves as a neat package for shipping, tansporting, and storage and as point of purchase display item. The container also serves for storage of incidental items useful for installing wall paper borders such as a sponge, a squeegee, a razor, a brush, and an instruction sheet. The instruction sheet also can convey information such as usage instructions or advertising material appropriate for a point of purchase display. The tray with the upturned edge serves as a pan to catch liquid adhesive in the event said liquid adhesive starts to drip or flow from the roll of wall paper border as it is supported by the tray.
