That the inventory includes goods, wares or merchandise on consignment or purchased by the applicant or added to the stock in contemplation of a closing out sale and for the purpose of selling the same at such sale. For the purpose of this paragraph, any unusual addition to the stock of goods, wares and merchandise made within ninety (90) days prior to the filing of an application, unless so stated and explained in the application, shall be prima facie evidence that such addition was made in contemplation of a closing out sale and for the purpose of selling such stock at the sale;
