  shall, upon the receipt or acceptance  by  him  of  any  goods  for  the
  purpose  of  sale  at  auction, and before offering the same or any part
  thereof for sale at auction, write or cause to be written in a  book  to
  be  kept  by him for the purpose, the name and address of the person who
  employed him to sell such goods at auction, the name and address of  the
  person for whose benefit, behalf or account such goods are to be sold at
  auction;  the  name  and address of the person from whom such auctioneer
  received or accepted such goods; the name and address of the person  who
  was  the  owner,  the  authorized agent of the owner or the consignor of
  such goods immediately prior  to  the  receipt  or  acceptance  for  the
