Abstract: A container includes a tubular body section having a plurality of parallel and equally spaced encircling tear lines for tearing of the successive sections from the rest of the container. A telescoping cover closes an open top. The cover has a side wall of the depth of one section and a top wall projecting inwardly into the side wall with an inclined inner side wall so as to project into the container and also define a stacking recess. The bottom wall conforms to the stacking recess and permits convenient stacking. The inward projection of the cover permits the effective minimizing of the air space within the container as the material is removed.
