Abstract: Apparatus for holding and dispensing flat articles such as flyers or brochures includes a receptacle back member formed of molded plastic sheet material and a receptacle front member formed of molded plastic sheet material. The back and front members are connectable and the front member may be opened or closed relative to the back member. A cover member is hingedly secured to the receptacle back member at the upper end of the receptacle back wall to selectively cover the opening and to resist movement of the front member away from the back member when the cover member is closed.
