  • Publication number: 20020175195
    Abstract: A holder for a container of smokeless tobacco. The holder provides a vehicle for advertising and can be removably attached to a automobile visor, belt or waistband, golf cart or the like. In its preferred form, the holder is a semi-cylindrical frame with an open top and side. In this way, the inner and outer surfaces of the side wall, as well as the inner surface of the back wall, are visible when the container is not in the holder. When the container is in the holder, the outer side wall is still visible. These visible surfaces are ideal as display surfaces for advertising indicia, which can relate to the brand of smokeless tobacco or to any other advertising subject matter. The holder is inexpensive and can be provided as an advertising “give-away” or sold with the smokeless tobacco as a promotional item.
