 license and giving a bond as provided for in this chapter and 
 any licensed warehouse operator who shall operate any warehouse 
 without obtaining the permit herein provided for or who shall

 department approving the same shall be guilty of a gross 
 misdemeanor; and upon conviction fined in a sum not less than 
 $100 nor more than $3,000 for each and every day such business

 is issued or after the expiration of such license or permit or 
 after receiving notice from the department that such bond has 
 become void or has been found insufficient security; and the 
 operation of such warehouse operator may be enjoined upon
