It is unlawful for any authorized wholesaler to sell beer to anyone other than a person,
firm, corporation, syndicate or association having been authorized and licensed by
any city or county as a retailer by a board duly created for the purpose of licensing
retail establishments. Provided, however, if a retail business has posted a beer permit,
which on its face appears to be valid, a wholesaler who sells beer to the retail business
will not be deemed to have violated the provisions of this section.
