Abstract: A holder for rolls of paper, such as toilet paper and paper towels comprising a pair of members interconnected together with one member being slideably movable with respect to the other member. The members are interconnected through a coil spring which exerts a continuous bias upon the members tending to maintain the members in the operative position rotatably supporting the roll of paper. A bracket assembly is connectable to the members to facilitate mounting of such to a planar supporting surface, such as a wall or cabinet.
