HON. CARL C. ANDERSON,
now serving in his second term as mayor of Fostoria, Ohio, and
who elected a member of Congress from the 13th Congressional
District of Ohio in November, 1908, enjoys unusual distinction
for one of his youth and is a notable example of the enterprise
and energy that characterize the American young man in modern
days. He was born at Bluffton, Allen County, Ohio, Dec. 2,
1877, and is a son of John J. and Mary L. (Barringer)
Anderson.
The father of Mr. Anderson
is one of the representative business men of Fremont, Ohio, and
is the capable manager of the Jackson Shear and Razor Company of
this city. He married Mary L. Barringer and they
have three children.
Carl C. Anderson was brought by his parents to
Fremont when young and obtained his education in the Fremont
schools. He began his business life early, as a little boy
becoming a news carrier, and when he saw more profit is driving
an express wagon, he took that position. His next step was
a clerkship with the Lake Erie & Western Railroad and later,
after a season with the Lake Erie Company, later becoming its
agent. When the A. H. Jackson Company made him a
good offer he went on the road for them and sold their underwear
for five years and out of his salary he erected a fine brick
block at Fremont. Mr. Anderson then went into
the manufacturing of underwear on his own account, starting at
Fostoria and in the following year building a factory at
Findlay. During these years while making great headway in
material things and honestly accumulating a fortune through his
own industry and business capacity, he was likewise cementing
friendships and becoming acquainted with people all over the
state and particularly in the 13th District. His sterling
qualities as a citizen were recognized at Fostoria, where, in
1905 he was elected mayor of the city and in 1907 was
re-elected, and further approval was shown him when he was made
the Democratic candidate for Congress and was elected in the
fall of 1908, over Hon. G. E. Mouser, by a majority of
4742 votes. Mr. Anderson will have the distinction
of being the youngest member on the floor of Congress.
Mr. Anderson married Miss Nellie Ford, a
daughter of William H. Ford, and they have had two
children, Carl Ford, and one that died in infancy.
Mr. Anderson holds membership in all the leading
fraternities and is connected with many social organizations.
