1. A system for displaying a plurality of containers in cooperation with a point of sale display rack, comprising: a) a display carton for displaying a plurality of containers, said display carton including: i) a base having a front edge, and a back edge;ii) a front side member extending perpendicularly from said front edge of said base and terminating at an upper edge;iii) a rear side member extending perpendicularly from said back edge of said base and terminating at an upper edge, said rear side member having a cover panel detachably affixed to said rear side member with a set of perforations extending along a line positioned below said upper edge of said rear side member;iv) an upper tray member having a front edge, and a back edge, said front edge extending perpendicularly from said upper edge of said front side member, said upper tray member having a plurality of first apertures; andv) a lower tray member, said lower tray member positioned along a plane substantially parallel to said upper tray member and said base and located therebetween, said lower tray member having a plurality of second apertures, each of said plurality of second apertures in axial alignment with a corresponding first aperture of said plurality of first apertures;wherein said detachably affixed cover panel is configured to fold over and enclose the plurality of containers when the containers are inserted through corresponding first and second apertures, and cover at least a portion of said front side member for sealing said detachably affixed cover panel thereto; andb) an elongated support rail comprising a bottom rail portion for supporting said base of said display carton, said bottom rail portion having a front edge and a rear edge, and a back rail portion for supporting said rear side member of said display carton, said back rail portion having a lower edge integrally formed and adjacent to said rear edge of said bottom rail portion. 2. The system of claim 1, wherein said front side member of said display carton includes a pair of retention cuts adjacent said front edge of said base, said pair of retention cuts effective to aid in the registration of said detachably affixed cover panel. 3. The system of claim 2, wherein said front edge of said bottom rail portion of said elongated support rail terminates in an upwardly extending lip for engaging said pair of retention cuts of said front side member of said display carton, wherein the distance between said upwardly extending lip and said back rail portion of said elongated support rail is selected to securely retain said display carton when said pair of retention cuts of said front side member of said display carton are engaged with said upwardly extending lip. 4. The system of claim 3, further comprising a point-of-sale message board having a front side for displaying a message thereon and a rear side, said message board having an upper edge terminating in a downwardly extending and rear-side-facing retaining flange, and a lower edge terminating in an upwardly extending and front-side-facing locking member. 5. The system of claim 4, wherein said rear-side-facing retaining flange is configured to securely attach to a horizontal member of the point of sale display rack. 6. The system of claim 5, wherein said rear-side-facing retaining flange is hingedly mounted to said upper edge of said message board. 7. The system of claim 6, wherein said elongated support rail further comprises a channel for receiving said front-side-facing locking member of said point-of-sale message board. 8. The system of claim 7, wherein said detachably affixed cover panel includes a set of perforations to permit detachment, said set of perforations extending along a line positioned below said upper edge of rear side member. 9. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of containers are positioned within a first aperture of said plurality of first apertures of said upper tray member and a corresponding second aperture of said plurality of second apertures of said lower tray member. 10. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of second apertures are provided with tabs, for interferingly retaining the containers within the plurality of second apertures. 11. The system of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of second apertures are slightly undersized with respect to the containers and each of the plurality of second apertures are provided with a plurality of relief slits, for interferingly retaining the containers within the plurality of second apertures.
