Abstract
A tag holding bracket includes an upright elongated base member having a support hook at its upper end and a tag receiving channel at its lower end. The rearward wall of the channel is connected to the base member and inclined forwardly from the base member so as to cause a tag supported thereon to bend about a horizontal axis. A lower portion of the base member is inclined downwardly and forwardly from an upper portion thereof for improved visibility of a tag supported on the bracket.
