• (d) said pointer being provided with a groove adjacent the carrier member for receiving the cord of said article for supporting said article in the same manner as said article would be supported on a wall by engagement of the cord with a suspension element on the wall,
• (e) whereby the carrier member together with the article supported by engagement of its cord with the groove on the pointer can be positioned at the desired location on the wall to enable the pointer to make an impression on the wall for locating a suspension element which will automatically permit the same article to be supported on said wall at said desired location,
