Acquisition: Dain Bosworth Inc. said Thursday it was buying Clayton Brown Holding Co., a privately held Chicago firm specializing in bond trading. Clayton Brown, founded in 1967, has a staff of 140, making it similar in size to the fixed-income group of Minneapolis-based Dain Bosworth, a regional brokerage and investment firm. Irving Weiser, chief executive officer of Dain Bosworth, said the acquisition of Clayton Brown positions his firm to become a dominant regional player in the Chicago market.
