(1) That the person for whom such vehicle, implement, machine or article was made or repaired, or to whom sold, is the owner thereof, and that the price, if agreed on, or if not, the value of the same, or of the repair thereof, or some part of either, is due and unpaid.

(2) That the person for whom such vehicle, implement, machine or article was made or repaired, or to whom sold, has transferred or sold the same to a purchaser with notice of the lien, and that the price, if agreed on, or if not, the value of the same, or of the repair thereof, or of some part of either, is due and unpaid.
