Shelf units adapted to be mounted on vertical walls for displaying merchandise are adapted to utilize removeable hooks which are used for cross-merchandising complimentary products. The shelf unit is also adapted to be mounted on the exterior face of a wall, door or window of a refrigerated vault or the like and to prevent air from migrating down the wall between the wall and the shelf unit.

What is claimed is: 1. A combination comprising: (a) a shelf for supporting and displaying products adjacent one face of a substantially vertical panel comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face lying in a substantially vertical plane and defining first and second laterally opposed end edges; (ii) a floor having a top face lying in a substantially horizontal plane substantially normal to said vertical plane between the laterally opposed end edges of said support panel; (iii) a containment wall extending upwardly from the top face of said floor with a substantial portion thereof spaced horizontally from and substantially parallel with the plane of said first face of said support panel; and (iv) an opening in said floor substantially adjacent the vertical plane of said support panel; and (b) a hook having a support arm and an attachment flange, said attachment flange extending through said opening in said floor and supporting said support arm in a position below said floor and extending toward the plane of said containment wall. 2. A combination as defined in claim 1 wherein said attachment flange comprises first and second substantially parallel legs joined by a base member to define a substantially U-shaped flange body. 3. A combination as defined in claim 2 wherein the base member substantially occupies said opening in said floor. 4. A combination as defined in claim 1 including means projecting from said first face adapted to impede flow of air between said first face and a support wall on which said shelf is mounted. 5. A combination as defined in claim 4 wherein said means projecting from said first face is a ridge adjacent the outer periphery of said first face. 6. A combination comprising: (a) a shelf for supporting and displaying products adjacent one face of a substantially vertical panel comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face lying in a substantially vertical plane and defining first and second laterally opposed end edges; (ii) a floor having a top face lying in a substantially horizontal plane substantially normal to said vertical plane between the laterally opposed end edges of said support panel; (iii) a containment wall extending upwardly from the top face of said floor with a substantial portion thereof spaced horizontally from and substantially parallel with the plane of said first face of said support panel; and (iv) an opening in said support panel; and (b) a hook having a support arm and an attachment flange, said attachment flange extending through said opening in said support panel and supporting said support arm in a position below said floor and extending toward the plane of said containment wall. 7. A combination as defined in claim 6 wherein said attachment flange comprises first and second substantially parallel legs joined by a base member to define a substantially U-shaped flange body. 8. A combination as defined in claim 7 wherein the base member substantially occupies said opening in said panel. 9. A combination as defined in claim 6 including means projecting from said first face adapted to impede flow of air between said first face and a support wall on which said shelf is mounted. 10. A combination as defined in claim 9 wherein said means projecting from said first face is a ridge adjacent the outer periphery of said first face. 11. A combination comprising: (a) a shelf for supporting and displaying products; comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face and defining first and second laterally opposed end edges; (ii) a floor adjacent the support panel and operable to support products, wherein at least a portion of the support panel extends below the floor; (iii) an opening in said floor; and (iv) a containment wall extending upwardly from the floor with at least a portion thereof spaced from the first face of the support panel; and (b) a hook disposed through said opening in the floor coupled to the shelf and operable to support products below the floor. 12. A combination as defined in claim 11 wherein the hook is removably coupled. 13. A combination, arranged and designed for mounting on a supporting wall, comprising: (a) a shelf for supporting and displaying products adjacent a supporting wall comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face and defining first and second laterally opposed end edges; (ii) a horizontally disposed floor supported by and extending from said support panel and operable to support products; (iii) a containment wall extending upwardly from said floor with at least a portion thereof spaced from the first face of the support panel; and (iv) a cavity defined at least partially by said floor, said containment wall and said supporting wall; and (b) a hook coupled to the shelf and operable to support products below the floor. 14. A combination as defined in claim 13 wherein the hook is removably coupled. 15. A combination as defined in claim 13 wherein the hook is coupled to the support panel. 16. A combination as defined in claim 13 wherein the shelf is made of plastic. 17. A combination as defined in claim 13 wherein the floor includes an opening and the hook is disposed through the opening in the floor. 18. A combination as defined in claim 13 wherein the support panel includes an opening and the hook is disposed through the opening in the support panel. 19. A combination comprising: (a) a shelf for supporting and displaying products comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face and at least one flange; (ii) an opening in said support panel; (iii) a floor adjacent the support panel and operable to support products; (iv) a containment wall extending upwardly from the floor with at least a portion thereof spaced from the first face of the support panel; and (v) an opening in said floor; and (b) a hook coupled to the shelf disposed through said opening in said floor and said opening in said support panel and operable to support products below the floor. 20. A shelf adapted to be mounted adjacent a substantially vertical wall for supporting and displaying products adjacent one face of said substantially vertical wall comprising: (i) a support panel having a first face lying in a substantially vertical plane and defining first and second laterally opposed end edges; (ii) a floor having a top face lying in a substantially horizontal plane substantially normal to said vertical plane between the laterally opposed end edges of said support panel; (iii) a containment wall extending upwardly from the top face of said floor with a substantial portion thereof spaced horizontally from and substantially parallel with the plane of said first face of said support panel; and (iv) means projecting from said first face adapted to impede flow of air between said first face of said support panel and said substantially vertical panel.
