A rack supply system is disclosed, which includes a frame adapted to be attached to a vertical wall. From the frame, at least a pair of track members slope downwardly, and each track member defines a downwardly-sloping slot. A hanger is supplied and is adapted to retain an article of merchandise of the "impulse-purchase" type. A group of hangers, each holding an article of merchandise, is located across a pair of track members, and each hanger has a pair of segments which fit into the two slots in a pair of track members. As the bottom-most article, i. e. the forward-most article, on its hanger is removed from a pair of track members, the next-in-line hanger and its article of merchandise slides downwardly to the lower ends of the slots in the track members. "Fresh" articles and their hangers are loaded at the upper ends of the track members. By this means, as an article of merchandise on its hanger is removed by a customer from the lower end of the track members, the next-in-line hanger and its article of merchandise moves into place, to be presented to a customer.

A modular display unit for articles of merchandise includes a plurality of paired article-supporting fixture members mounted by means of prongs on an upright apertured carrier board secured to a support structure by means of a pair of horizontally spaced vertical posts each of which projects frontwardly of the front surface of the carrier board. In a basic module, each of the paired fixture members has a bottom wall, a front end wall, a rear end wall, and a left-hand or right-hand side wall, so that the two fixture members define an open-topped compartment with a split article-supporting surface constituted by the two bottom walls. To accommodate the posts, a step region of sufficient depth is provided on each fixture member at the juncture between its side wall and its rear end wall. A tier of plural horizontally aligned compartments utilizing only two such fixture members at the ends of the tier can be formed by interposing between the right-hand and left-hand end fixture members at least one additional fixture member devoid of a side wall but having between its front and rear end walls a medial dividing wall extending over the bottom wall. Each such additional fixture member has a post-accommodating step region formed in its rear end wall where the same adjoins the dividing wall.
