The front panel contains two horizontal pockets, one at the top and the other at the bottom, which are designed to have printed material inserted. Specifically, you indicate that this item is used for displaying notices or advertising material in such places as hotel rooms. The second item, identified as an ‘Endcap Panel’, also consists of a leather clad piece of chipboard (cardboard) that measures 4 3/4" x 6 5/8" x 1/8", rectangular.
