Abstract: A modular display stand is disclosed which includes first and second display panels each including a substantially planar display portion and a mounting flange which depends from the display portion at an acute angle. Each mounting flange includes a reception port and an engagement plug disposed in spaced apart relationship. A base structure is provided which has an elongate reception slot defined therein to receive and retain the mounting flanges of the opposed display panel when they are in juxtaposition. When the flanges are received in the slot, the engagement plug on the first display panel engages the reception port in the second display panel and the engagement plug on the second display panel engages the reception port in the first panel. In an assembled condition, the mounting flanges are disposed in inward angular opposition such that the planar display portions of the panels angle inwardly toward one another to firmly retain printed matter therebetween.
