Abstract: A container is provided to hold and display a group of fragile articles, such as candles. The container comprises an open-topped box having a rectangular bottom and upright front, back and end walls. Each of the end walls has an upwardly projecting extension the width of which is substantially one-half that of the end wall. One of these upward extensions is adjacent to the front wall and the other is adjacent to the rear wall. The inner edges of these extensions are joined to the opposite edges of a partition wall that lies in a plane parallel to and midway between the front and back of the box. The upward extensions and the partition thus cooperate to form a pair of back-to-back vertical compartments above the top of the box, each having a back formed by the partition wall and one side formed by one of the extensions. Articles set vertically into the box have their upper portions received in the vertical compartments to be supported thereby in upright arrangement exposed to view and to inspection.
