(a) As used in this chapter, "temporary store" shall mean a store, building entrance, stand, storeroom, office or any other place opened or maintained for the sale to the public of goods, commodities or merchandise, where the seller or owner of such goods, commodities or merchandise operates such store, building entrance, stand, storeroom, office or other place for a period of less than 120 days. Any store which shall be opened, operated and maintained in this City shall prima facie be presumed to be a temporary store within the meaning of this chapter, but such presumption may be overcome by evidence satisfactory to the Mayor that it is not a temporary store, in which case the Mayor shall not be required to take a deposit or take a bond as provided in Section 763.04.
(b) "Person" shall mean any individual, association, partnership or corporation, or the operator for or the agent of any such person, who sells to the public at retail, through or by means of such temporary stores, any goods, commodities or merchandise, except as herein provided. (Ord. 4119. Passed 11-21-32.)
