Abstract: A system and method of optimizing loads to be delivered on a particular date to a particular destination in response to a plurality of requisitions for various items to be delivered from various vendors to various destinations. Requisitions are arranged chronologically and line items are moved forward for early delivery to build optimized truck/container loads.

Abstract: An adjustable height pedestal is formed of one, two, or more identical or variant height pleated upright members. The pleated upright members are interconnected by two or more connector rings at either end of each pleated upright member. When two or more pleated upright members are used to form one display pedestal, one connector ring interconnects the area between two of said pleated upright members. A disc rests upon four lid/base supports inside the topmost connector ring, and is covered by a lid which interconnects with said connector ring. A second identical disc rests on the four lid/base supports inside the bottom-most connector ring. Display pedestals over 12" in height are generally stabilized with a heavy block which is readily accessible and which sits on top of the disc in the bottom of the display. In one embodiment the lid and disc are not used leaving an open display pedestal for cylindrical merchandise.

Abstract: A fish storage tray is provided with several modular plastic dividers which conform to the shape of the fish and hold fish in a belly-up position in the tray for individual freezing and storing. The individual dividers are elongated plastic strips having connectors either integral or separable at opposite ends to enable the dividers to be expanded to conform to the size of a fish placed between dividers. The method of storing fish includes the step of separating a tray into a plurality of compartments using flexible conforming plastic strips interconnected to one another at alternating opposite ends to form an accordion-type divider pattern within the tray. Fish are then placed between the plastic dividers in an alternating head-to-tail arrangement and with the bellies up. The fish are then frozen and, if desired, glazed and placed in storage.

Abstract: A modular rack is formed of two identical end members each with three vertically spaced openings. The end members are interconnected by tubular storage compartments which fit within each of the openings. A rectangular display card is fitted into a vertical slot laterally adjacent each of the end openings in at least one of the end members with the display card being adapted to carry a sample of the merchandise within the adjacent compartment. Additional rack units can be stacked on top of one another or can be connected together in endwise adjacency. When racks are connected in endwise adjacency the vertical slots of the two abutting end members can be coaligned so that a splicing board can be interfitted into the slots to lock the abutting end members together.
