No person shall sell or offer to sell any goods at a sale to be advertised, represented or held out by any means to be a going out of business sale, removal of business sale, or fire and other altered stock sale without first making written application to the Director of Public Service and obtaining the required license therefor. The license fee to conduct a going out of business sale, removal of business sale, or fire and other altered stock sale shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00). The license fee for a renewal of a license to hold such sale shall be ten dollars ($10.00). A license shall authorize the sale described in the application for a period of not more than thirty consecutive days, Sundays and legal holidays excluded, following the issuance thereof. A renewal license shall be issued for one period of time only, such period to be in addition to that permitted under the original license and not to exceed thirty consecutive days, Sundays and holidays excluded, when the licensee has filed a written application for a renewal, submitted a revised inventory showing the items listed on the original inventory remaining unsold and when the licensing officer shall find that facts exist justifying a renewal of license. No person who has held a sale, regulated hereunder, at the location stated in the application, within the period of one year preceding an application for license shall be granted a license. Where a person applying for a license operates more than one place of business the license issued shall apply only to one store or branch specified in the application and no other store or branch shall advertise or represent that it is cooperating with or in any way participating in the licensed sale, nor shall the store or branch conducting the licensed sale advertise or represent that any other store or branch is cooperating with it or participating in any way in the licensed sale.
