former Art. 56, § 222(a), except for the first clause
of that sentence, and the first sentence of (c), as it
related to the requirement that real estate brokers
maintain branch offices in compliance with the same
requirements for the maintenance of principal offices.

public" is substituted for the former phrase "from a
public highway or public hallway", to broaden the
requirement of displaying a public sign.
