ABSTRACT:
The container disclosed herein is adapted to nest in a similarly oriented lower container of identical construction when turned 90.degree. with respect thereto. The container is also adapted to stack at a higher level in the lower container when similarly oriented or when turned 180.degree.. The container has a substantially square bottom wall, side walls extending substantially vertically upwardly from opposite sides edges of the bottom wall, an open front, and a nesting support bar extending across the rear of the container in spaced relation above the bottom wall to define an open space between the bottom wall and the support bar. The container is nested with the lower container by engaging the support bar over the upper edge of one of the side walls of the lower container and resting the front portion of the container on seating means provided on the other side wall of the lower container. The side walls also have stacking rails or ribs along their upper edges and complementary stacking grooves in the bottom wall so that the container may be slid to a stacked position across a lower container of identical construction.
