2. A display panel as set forth in claim 1 and further comprising, a pair of side flanges connected to and extending generally normally and upwardly of said base at opposed corresponding lateral limits thereof, said flanges defining generally vertical sidewall means retaining said tabs therebetween and limiting shifting of said tabs laterally outwardly from a position of engagement with said base.

3. A display stand as set forth in claim 1 wherein said tray and header card assembly constitutes a one-piece blank of paperboard and the like formed with a fold line separating said base from said header panel.
