A calendar slide includes a hanger that is secured to the slide during the tinning or crimping process in which the slide is secured to the calendar. The hanger has a hole for hanging the calendar or other work piece tinned with the slide and hanger. Advantageously, according to this invention, the hanger does not need to be riveted or staked to the slide for secure attachment. The slide may include at least one through slot into which a leading edge of a roll of hanger material is inserted. The leading portion of the hanger material is severed or cut from the remainder of the roll while it is positioned in the hanger. An edge of the calendar or work piece is inserted between the spaced legs of the slide and initially crimped between the spaced legs. The hanger is severed from the roll either prior to the initially crimping operation, during the initial crimping operation or immediately there after. The crimping of the slide onto the edge of the calendar or work piece securely positions the hanger to the slide and calendar prior to the completion of the tinning process.
