  75.  Posting and surrender of license certificate. Immediately upon
  the receipt of the license certificate issued by the department of state
  pursuant to this article, the licensee named therein  shall  cause  such
  license  certificate  to  be  posted  up and at all times displayed in a
  conspicuous place in the bureau, agency, sub-agency,  office  or  branch
  office  for  which it is issued, so that all persons visiting such place
  may readily  see  the  same.  Such  license  certificate  shall  at  all
  reasonable  times  be subject to inspection by the secretary of state or
  an authorized representative or representatives  of  the  department  of
  state.  It  shall be unlawful for any person, firm, partnership, limited
  liability company or corporation holding  such  license  certificate  to
  post  such  certificate  or to permit such certificate to be posted upon
  premises other than those described therein or  to  which  it  has  been
  transferred  pursuant to the provisions of this article, or knowingly to
  alter, deface or destroy any such  license  certificate.  Every  license
  certificate  shall  be  surrendered  to  the  department of state within
  seventy-two hours after its terms shall have expired or after notice  in
  writing  to  the  holder  that such license has been revoked. Failure to
  comply with any of the provisions of this section is a  misdemeanor  and
  sufficient cause for the revocation of a license.
