A holder and dispenser for material contained in a collapsible tube is disclosed and includes a housing for retaining a collapsible tube in position; the housing is formed with guide shoulders on opposite sides of a slot formed in a wall of the housing; a wedge-shaped press member is disposed within the housing with a portion of the press member in engagement with the guide shoulders; the press member is provided with a handle which includes a stem portion securely fastened to the press member and which extends through the slot and terminates exteriorly of the housing with a manually engageable portion; the manually engageable portion is shaped to have a longitudinal dimension which may be substantially equal to the longitudinal dimension of the press member but which is bent or curved approximately at its midpoint to enable a user to rock the handle about the bent midpoint to thereby pivot through a limited angle the press member into and out of engagement with the collapsible tube positioned in the housing; the handle also permits the sliding of the press member along the length of the housing guided by the slot and the guide shoulders of the housing; the manually engageable portion of the handle also serves to space the bottom of the press member a selected distance from the bottom wall of the housing to permit the collapsed tube to fit between the press member and the bottom wall of the housing.
