Frederick D. Countiss of Chicago seeks proxy votes to block the proposed sale of Ox Fibre Brush Company to Pro-Phy-Lac-Tic Brush Co. A stockholders meeting is set for next Monday in New York City. Countiss argues the $5,058,000 price is too low based on an outdated appraisal and questions guarantees on goodwill and plant continuity. F W Weitzel, Ox Fibre president, says the brush industry is changing and a sale now protects working capital, as major capital and research would be needed for a shift to plastics.
