(a) Upon the written application of any itinerant vendor, setting forth all the facts required, and duly verified upon oath before an officer empowered by the laws of Ohio to take acknowledgment of deeds, and upon the payment of a license fee and upon it appearing that the applicant has procured such license as may be required by the laws of the State then in force, the Commissioner of Assessments and Licenses shall issue to such applicant a license permitting the applicant, for the period for which such license fee is paid, to sell in temporary quarters such goods, wares or merchandise as such itinerant vendor may otherwise lawfully sell.
(b) The Commissioner, before issuing to the itinerant vendor the license provided for herein, shall record in a proper book to be kept for that purpose, the State license in full, and shall endorse upon the State license “local license fees paid,” and shall affix his or her official signature with the date of such endorsement upon the license. The Commissioner shall then issue the local license which shall entitle the itinerant vendor to conduct sales thereunder for any period less than one hundred twenty (120) days from the date thereof.
