Abstract: A merchandising system for paint brushes and the like characterized by open-top shipping cartons each having a removable top cover and a wire frame within the carton having a base member retained against the bottom wall of the carton and a plurality of pegs extending generally perpendicular from the base member in spaced apart relation for supporting a plurality of brushes from each of the pegs. To display the brushes, the top cover is removed from the cartons and the cartons are inserted in a bracket which supports the cartons at an angle relative to an upstanding panel member with the brushes hanging downwardly at such angle from such pegs.
