(c)        Name of malt beverage manufacturer. Each retail licensee selling malt beverages on draught for consumption on the premises shall display a sign on, over or near each tap or faucet showing the name of the manufacturer of such beverages. This sign must be visible to patrons for a distance of at least ten (10) feet.

 

(d)        Possessors of wagering stamps. No application for a new license or a renewal of a license shall be approved if it is ascertained that the applicant or any officer, agent or employee of such applicant possesses a federal occupational wagering stamp at the address of the applicant's premises or at any other address.

 

(e)        Advertising by club. No retail licensee operating as a club pursuant to Article 1, Section 2.24 of the Illinois Liquor Control Act, may advertise in communication media directed toward the General public unless such retail licensee has petitioned the Illinois Liquor Control Commission for permission to so advertise in promotion of club affairs, and such permission has been granted.
