The apparatus has a housing with a longitudinal axis, a front wall, a back wall, a top wall, a top portion and a bottom portion. The front wall has an upper end connected to the top wall and a lower end that is generally C-shaped and is angled toward the back wall to form a chamber to loosely hold a rod. The housing further defines an opening between the lower end and the back wall. The also defines an attachment means that extends from the back wall so that the apparatus can be attached to a surface. A method for positioning a piece of paper on a substantially vertical surface is also disclosed.
