The upper support overlaps the lower support when in the lower position and is disposed above the lower support when in the upper position. The upper display is initially mounted onto the lower support while the upper support is in the upper position. The winch extends between the lower support and the upper support and is connected to the mounted upper display to lift the upper display from the lower support to the upper support. The lower display is mounted onto the lower support after the upper display is lifted from the lower support to the upper support.
