The Bond Supply Company, founded by Fred J. Bond c1873-1938, began in 1912 in Kalamazoo located on the southwest corner of North Rose and Eleanor Street. In the 1912 city directory, the company stated that it was "Manufacturers and Jobbers, Plumbing, Steam, Mill Well Supplies." The Bond Supply Company, a wholesale firm, was the successor of the Quinn Manufacturing Company located at the same site which employed Fred Bond. Over the years, Bond served as Secretary and General Manager joined by other officers including George Wigginton who was President of the Company along with head of the Kalamazoo Loose Leaf Binder Company. After Bond's death, the company continued under a number of other individuals including Hugh Mehaffie, George Wigginton’s son-in-law. According to a February, 1987 article in Encore magazine about Lucille Wigginton Mehaffie, George’s daughter, the Bond Supply Company supplied equipment for many of the paper mills in the area in addition to selling hardware, plumbing and heating supplies for builders.
