Fuller Brush Co., founded in 1906 and for decades known for its door-to-door salesmen, filed for bankruptcy less than two months after saying the company had “completely rebooted itself.”
The cleaning-products maker, based in Great Bend, Kansas, listed assets and debt of as much as $50 million each in Chapter 11 documents filed yesterday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan. CPAC Inc., Fuller Brush’s parent company, also sought court protection from creditors.
