In carrying out the invention, there is :provided a standard or post 1,111eferabl3 supported for rotation, such as by seatingathe lower end of the standard in a socket 2, which can be carried by a case forming the base of the display rack, and the drawer 4 can be provided in the case 3 for holding the c'lasps and other articles used in connection with astand.

Carried by the standard 1 area plurality of sets of radial arms. Thus, one set of arms can be provided for each style or :price of glove, and asufficient number of arms can be provided in each set for the various sizes of gloves of .the particular style .or price.

of each style canjbe hung from one arm.

V e, necess ty for unnecessaril .han-

The display rack can be seated on a counter in the store, or elsewhere, for efl'ectively displaying gloves.

The arms, as illustrated, are telescopic or extensible, each embodying a radial tubular section 5 having its inner end secured to the standard 1 in any suitable manner,-and slidably receiving an outer section or, rod ,6.

. In order to ban a comparatively large number of gloves 0% one size from-each arm,

' there is provided ahanger, bent from wire or other suitable stock, and embodyin elongated. horizontal member 7 dispose below the arm parallel therewith, and provided at its inner end with an upturned portion 8 provided With an eye or loop 8' slidably embracing the section 5 of the arm. 7

The outer end of the member 7 has an upturned portion 9 provided with a coil 10 rigidly embracing the outer end of the see- I tion 6 of'the arm, whereby the hangeris movable with said section 6. The section 6 is normally slid inwardly within the section 5, thereby moving the hanger under the section 5, and bringing the gloves adjacent to the standard, and by pulling'tlie section 6 v and hanger outwardly, this moves the corresponding bunch of gloves outwardly from the rest to aid in the loves being applied to. and removed from .t "e han-gerv The outer end of the arms are provided eating t e sizes, 'price, st les, andother in: formation, can be applie to the ends of the ai'm'sfor convenience in maki'n'g the selection. As illustrated in Fig. 3, the tag holding means is formed from the wire constitut- 111% the hanger.

hus, from the coil 10, the wire isextended toward one side, as at 11 and is then extended upwardly and bent back to provide a loop 12. From the loop 12, the wire is bent, as at 13, to extend across the rod or section 6 to the opposite side, and from the o'rtion 13, thewire is bent upwardly and oub'led to rovide an u standing loop. 14 o posite to t e loop 12. he loops 12 and 14 t us provide a receptacle for a tag 15, and the upper portions or bends of the oops can be curved slightly away from one another to receive the tag.

A modified form of tag holding means is illustrated in Fig. 5, the same embodyin an upnight sheet metal member 13 having ent back flanges 14 at its side edges for receiving the tag in front of the plate 13. This plate can be secured upon the section 6 near its free end in any suitable manner, such as by extending a finger 12' upwardly from the coil 10 to whichthe plate 13' can be sol dered or otherwise secured.

In figure 4, there is illustrated one of the clasps which are used for a plying the gloves to the hangers. This 0 asp has the pivoted levers 16' versel elon end 0 the g injuring it, tended into a hook rovided with the trans-. ated aws 17 for gripping the ove in a flat condition, without.
