The sign shall be written in clear and legible letters of not less than two (2) inches in height, and shall clearly show his name and indicate that he is an auctioneer. The sign shall be placed so that it can easily be observed and read by anyone entering the place of business; provided, however, that if the auctioneer is a nonresident, it is not necessary for him to maintain an active place of business in the Commonwealth if he maintains a place of business in the state where he was originally licensed.
