This is an action brought by the city of Chicago for an alleged violation of the junk-shop ordinance, so-called. The appellee is a large dealer, and a dealer in large quantities only—car lots principally—in old and new metals, rubber and rags. He is a wholesale dealer in these commodities, the largest in the city of Chicago. He did not procure a license to keep a “junk shop” or “junk wagon,” because he claimed not to be, in the language of the ordinance in question, ‘ ‘ exercising, carrying on, or engaging in the business of keeping a junk shop, or what is commonly called a junk shop.”
