a separable container for storing a plurality of articles is formed from a pair of partially enclosed members arranged in adjacent relationship . a third member is secured to the first and second members so as to form with the first member a first walled enclosure and with the second member a second walled enclosure , each for storing a plurality of articles . a line of perforations arranged in association with the third member enables separating the first and second walled enclosures from each other . the separable container is particularly advantageous in enabling a retailer to sell less than a total quantity of stored articles within the original container , such as cigarette packs and the like .
