Apparatus for displaying merchandise of the type wherein the merchandise is attached to a card having a hole through it, said apparatus comprising in combination: a base; a rod having a back end attached to said base, said rod extending from the base to a front end and passing through a hole in a card; and, a unitary restraining device of resilient material of a uniform horseshoe-shaped cross section consisting of two arms extending from a body a distance exceeding the diameter of the hole in the card, a re-entrant cavity being defined between said arms, the closest spacing between said arms being less than the diameter of said rod, whereby when a central portion of said rod is forced into removable engagement with the re-entrant cavity defined between the arms a resilient restoring force is produced causing the arms to grip said rod so tightly that said restraining device can be moved along said rod only by a force deliberately applied to said restraining device by an operator; said restraining device thusly removably engaging said rod at a position between the card and said base to prevent casual applied forces weaker than the deliberately applied force from moving the card along said rod toward the back end of said rod.
