Shop clerks [entrusted] with selling at retail in a public store shall be considered authorized to collect the amounts of the sales they may effect, and their receipts shall be valid, being issued in the name of the principal.
The same power shall be enjoyed by shop clerks who sell in wholesale stores, provided the sales are for cash and that the payment therefor is made in the store; but when the collections are to be made outside of the same, or when they proceed from sales made on time, the receipts must necessarily be signed by the principals or by their factors, or by an agent legally authorized to make collections.
