A universal stretcher rail system for use in connection with a space dividing wall panel system including wall panels of different lengths having vertically oriented, laterally spaced slotted standards at each end thereof. The system includes an inner rail member and a plurality of outer rail members of varying lengths each individually adapted to be selectively telescopically associated with the inner rail member to produce a stretcher rail of more than one predetermined length. L-shaped support brackets are fixed to the remote ends of the inner and outer rail members to interconnect the stretcher rail to a pair of laterally spaced slotted standards.
