A reminder card or bill rack, or the like, which has a frame and a pair of side-by-side vertically aligned series of card pockets on the frame. Between the two series of pockets is a common vertical column of indicia on the frame dividing a given period of time, such as a month, into sub-increments, such as weeks, in alignment with the respective pockets. The frame has a housing at the top thereof within which is mounted a pair of roller members, one for each vertical series of pockets. Indicia is provided on each of the rollers, such as the twelve months of the year seriatim about the periphery of the rollers. A window is provided in the housing for each roller so as to observe the indicia thereon. Each roller is independently rotatable and has a handle connected thereto and exposed exteriorly of the housing for manual manipulation by a user. In this fashion, when a particular given period of time has been exhausted, such as the month on the lefthand column, cards need not be shifted thereto from the righthand column, but the roller for the lefthand column simply may be manipulated to skip a month so as to provide indicia in the window one month ahead of the month in the righthand column.
