§ 33-20-207 — Bond required upon complaint; designation of agent for service; affidavit required; becoming permanent merchant

If complaint be made to the county clerk that any person, firm
or corporation doing business in any county of this state is a
transient merchant and such person, firm or corporation shall
claim to be a permanent merchant, the county clerk shall require
of such person, firm or corporation, and he or it shall furnish,
a bond in the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00), with surety
or sureties to be approved by the county clerk. Such bond shall
run to the county clerk as obligee and it shall secure the
payment of the license in the event that such person, firm or
corporation does not continue in the business which he or it is
conducting in such county for a period of one (1) year from the
time when such business was started; said bond shall also be for
the protection of all persons, firms or corporations having
claim or claims against the obligor arising out of said
business. At the time of delivering such bond to the county
clerk the obligor shall also deliver to the county clerk a duly
executed instrument making the county clerk the agent of the
obligor for the purpose of being served with process in the
event of suit on such bond. Such merchant so complained against
shall also furnish to the county clerk the affidavit required in
W.S. 33-20-205 before advertising or holding out any goods,
wares or merchandise as being sold as an insurance, bankrupt,
railway wreck, insolvent, assignee, trustee, executor,
administrator, receiver, syndicate, wholesale, manufacturer or
closing out sale, or as a sale of any goods, wares or
merchandise damaged by smoke, fire, water or otherwise. But
after such merchant has been conducting the particular business
in which he or it is engaged in such county for a period of one
(1) year, such merchant shall be held to be a permanent merchant
and the provisions of this act shall no longer be applicable to
such merchant.
