Every junk and scrap metal dealer shall keep a book in which he or she shall promptly
enter the names of all persons from whom he or she buys or gets iron, brass or other
metals of any sort, bottles or other articles of any nature whatsoever, followed by
the date of purchase, the amount paid therefor, the kind of metals purchased or received,
the number of pounds of each kind and a description of all other articles purchased.
These entries shall be made in chronological order from day to day, as business is
transacted. This book shall at all times be open to the inspection of the police or
other officers, who may desire to see it, and shall be kept in good faith and preserved
by such dealer for convenient inspection.
