Charles Anson Bond (February 3, 1873 – January 5, 1943) was the 37th mayor of Columbus, Ohio and the 34th person to serve in that office.
He was elected on November 5, 1907 and served Columbus for one term.
The campaign was one of the dirtiest in Columbus history, and two weeks after winning the election, Bond's wife Blanche Hull Bond died in childbirth.
As a result, he was at a disadvantage when he took the oath of office, and only mounted a half-hearted re-election campaign in 1909.
He was defeated in the 1909 mayoral election by George S.
Marshall.
Following the 1909 election, Bond relocated his family to Cleveland, Ohio, and co-founded Bond Clothing Stores.
While he had owned and operated a menswear store under his name in Columbus, Ohio, prior to his election as mayor of Columbus, Bond Clothings Stores was created as a retail business for selling suits manufactured by the factory co-owned by Bond, Mortimer Slater, and Lester Cohen.
Bond sold his interests and naming rights in the 1920s to take up horse breeding in Virginia.
Following retirement from public office, Bond married his late wife's second cousin, Leila Keys, of Cleveland.
He died in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania on January 5, 1943.
