The word “display”, as used in this chapter and in other statutes relating to advertisements and signs, means erecting, maintaining, pasting, painting and posting any advertisement or sign out-of-doors or erecting or maintaining any billboard or other structure designed and intended for the display of advertising matter where the same may be seen by the public, or allowing any such advertisement, billboard or other structure to remain exposed, in whole or in part, to public view, and includes the act itself and the causing of such act to be done.

All advertisements and all billboards and structures designed for the display of advertising matter thereon shall show the name of the person, firm or corporation displaying such advertisements or owning or leasing such billboards and structures.
