   During any going-out-of-business sale no additions whatsoever shall be made to the stock of merchandise set forth in the inventory attached to the application for license, and nothing shall be offered for sale or sold at any such going-out-of-business sale which is an addition to the stock of merchandise described in the inventory, or which has been added to the applicant's stock within a period of thirty days prior to the date the applicant filed application for license. Under no circumstances shall the inventory offered for sale at a going-out-of-business sale exceed by fifty percent (50%) the average inventory carried by the applicant over the preceding five years, nor shall the inventory offered for sale at a going-out-of-business sale exceed by fifty percent (50%) the average inventory carried for the period of time the applicant has been in business.
