ABSTRACT:
An open-frame rack which affords self-service sales of evergreen merchandise, thereby avoiding the necessity of an attendant at the display site. The open-frame rack is composed of a frame structure having interlocking stories. Each story is composed of multiple compartments which may be structured for the sale of Christmas trees and/or grave blankets and/or wreathes. Each compartment is provided with a customer access door which has a key retaining key-lock. The customer access door is by the customer to remove the evergreen merchandise contained in the respective compartment after the customer has paid therefor. It is preferred for the compartments containing large evergreen merchandise, such as Christmas trees, to be further provided with a merchant access door which has a conventional key-lock operable only by the merchant, the access door providing for stocking of the compartments so equipped. The open frame rack is structured so as to prevent theft of the evergreen merchandise, allow customers to see the evergreen merchandise when making a selection, and affords the weather full life-sustaining access to the evergreens.
