Claim:
1. A reusable divider system adapted to be selectively, removably mounted on a shelf provided with a plurality of receiving spaces each of which possesses a substantially identical profile, the divider system comprising: an elongate strip possessing a pair of opposing side surfaces, a front end surface and an opposing rear end surface, and an upper surface and an opposing lower surface, said strip possessing a pair of front lugs depending from the lower surface thereof, said front lugs possessing a spacing therebetween and each possessing a profile configured such that each of said front lugs is adapted to be snugly received in a pair of the receiving spaces, wherein said strip possesses at least one score line extending substantially from the lower surface to the upper surface at a position substantially remote from the front surface and defining a region of relatively weak strength of said strip along which said strip is adapted to be broken whereby the effective length of said strip may be shortened and wherein the portion of said strip extending backwardly from the at least one score line possesses a tapered thickness, whereby when said strip is broken along the at least one score line, the detached portion of said strip including the tapered thickness may be used as a wedge for insertion between the lower surface of said strip and the shelving in the region adjacent to said front lugs to assist in prying said strip upwardly and away from the shelving each of said front lugs possessing a cross-sectional profile selected from the group consisting of a spline and a square having substantially chamfered corners.
