Abstract: An upwardly open, transversally partitioned box is preferably made of exteriorly decorated corrugated paper box board. The upper and lower box edges are protected and reinforced with square hoop-like metal frames, riveted in place. The dividers are hung from upper edge metal frames, riveted at opposite ends to opposed sides of the box upper edge reinforcing frame. The case may be free-standing or pedestal-supported, e.g., upon a similar case turned on its side or upon a vertical axis cruciform support. Carpet samples stowed in the individual upwardly open cells defined between the box sides and partitions are individually accessible.
