A hanger according to the invention includes a cross member with a centrally located hook. A web is formed between the hook and the cross member and is adapted to receive a conventional indicator. The web includes a rib, followed by a valley, followed by a ramp, followed by a plateau. According to the invention, the rib is beveled at the one end and a notch is provided in the web adjacent the beveled end of the rib, the notch extending from the rib to the ramp or to the plateau. The indicator is easily removed from the rib by pressing it into the notch, then sliding it off the web.

What is claimed is: 1. A garment hanger, comprising: a cross member; a hook extending up from said cross member; and a web extending between the hook and the cross member, said web defining an edge, a valley extending from said edge, a ramp extending from said valley, and a plateau extending from said ramp, said edge defining a rib, said rib having a beveled portion, wherein said web defines a notch adjacent to said beveled portion of said rib, said notch extending from said edge to said ramp or to said plateau. 2. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: said notch defines a substantially right angle between said ramp and said valley. 3. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: said notch is adjacent to said hook. 4. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: said notch is adjacent to said cross member. 5. The hanger according to claim 1, further comprising: a removable indicator having internal means for engaging said rib. 6. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: said rib has two ends, said beveled portion being at one end and the other end being thickened with a thinner portion between said ends. 7. The hanger according to claim 5, wherein: said internal means include a pair of fingers. 8. The hanger according to claim 7, wherein: said indicator is substantially U-shaped with inwardly turned ends. 9. The hanger according to claim 8, wherein: said indicator fingers embrace said rib and said inwardly turned ends abut said ramp. 10. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: said notch has a radiused corner. 11. The hanger according to claim 1, wherein: the beveled portion of the rib wraps around into the notch. 12. A method of removing an indicator from a web on a garment hanger having a hook and a cross member with the web extending therebetween, the web defining an edge, a valley extending from the edge, a ramp extending from the valley, and a plateau extending from said ramp, the edge defining a rib, the rib having a beveled portion, the web having a notch which extends from the edge to the ramp or to the valley, the method comprising: pressing a first end of the indicator into the notch. 13. The method according to claim 12, further comprising: pulling or rotating a second end of the indicator until said indicator is removed from the web. 14. The method according to claim 13, wherein: the notch is adjacent the hook. 15. The method according to claim 13, wherein: the notch is adjacent the cross member. 16. A method of attaching an indicator to a web on a garment hanger having a hook and a cross member with the web extending therebetween, the web defining an edge, a valley extending from the edge, a ramp extending from the valley, and a plateau extending from said ramp, the edge defining a rib, the rib having a beveled portion, the web having a notch which extends from the edge to the ramp or to the valley, the method comprising: aligning the indicator such that it is generally perpendicular to the web; moving one end of the indicator into the notch adjacent the ramp or plateau; and rotating the indicator until the indicator snaps into place. 17. A method according to claim 16, wherein: the notch is adjacent the hook and said rotating comprises rotating the indicator in a clockwise direction. 18. A method according to claim 16, wherein: the notch is adjacent the cross member and said rotating comprises rotating the indicator in a counterclockwise direction. 19. A method according to claim 16, wherein: said indicator is substantially U-shaped with a pair of inwardly turned legs, and further includes internal means for engaging the rib, and said rotating comprises causing said inwardly turned legs to engage the beveled portion in order to spread the legs and permit the internal means for engaging the rib to move past the rib and into the valley.
