A two-position vertically adjustable sign system is used for mounting display media to an associated vertically oriented rack or shelf. The adjustable sign system includes a frame having upper and lower frame members for supporting the media. The system further includes mounting brackets for mounting to the shelf or rack. Each bracket defines an opening therein and has an engaging wall that extends from a rear portion of the bracket inwardly of the opening. A slide beam is associated with each mounting bracket, and is fixedly connected to the frame at the upper and lower frame members. Each beam is slidingly received in its respective mounting bracket opening for vertically adjusting the frame between a display position and a storage position. The beams each include an engaging flange extending from a rear portion thereof for engagement with its respective bracket engaging wall to maintain the frame in the display position. Each beam further includes an upper end termination portion to secure to the frame and to maintain the frame in the storage position and a lower termination portion for securing to the frame.
