The outer edge oi'` the ridge affords en excellent surface for advertising inott r, and the front iaps or lips afford surfaces for des ignoting' the various sizes of haiipins or other articles which ,may be inserted into the vvarious openings. The Vieldsibilitj,T o seid also permits of a large or small number ot ertieles or articles, ot 'various thicknesses being inserted thereunder.

l tion oi" the zrtic )yielding/ly ei the inserting the articles into the openings 22, the rearward edge oi' the holder is raised and the flange 2s rested against the adjacent edge or the lid 111-, with the latter swung back te full open position, said flange, in this position;v serving as a guide for the arti- -cles in the inserting operation, insertion thereol:l being thus greatly facilitated.

When the holder 19 is in operative position within thebox, it will be seen that the same is positioned directly over the inwardly projecting portions 1B connected with the side walls of the box, said holder thus serving as a means of loc-king said portions 13 in this position and hence of securely holding the box in distendcd or operative condition. lVhile 1 have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit ot the invention. l, therefore, do not wish to be liml ited to the precise details o't` construction set forth, but desire to avail myself ot such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by lietters Patent is 1.
