T-Shirt Buddy

The invention involves Article Dispensing, specifically tee shirts or other garments that can be folded and placed into the unit. Tee shirts, or other garments, stored in standard drawers, are not easily worn in a rotating manner. Specific garments are also not easily identified and retrieved by conventional storage methods. Finally, capacity of conventional storage methods is not easily expandable. This invention allows large numbers of tee shirts or other flat folded garments to be stored in such a manner as to rotate the wearing of the garments. It also allows specific garments to be identified and retrieved in any order due to the full length viewing slot in the front of the device. Interchangeable, stackable mid-sections can be attached together to allow the capacity of the dispenser to be increased to virtually any level. Finally, the units are made of molded plastic and are strong, durable, lightweight, and easily cleaned.
