Leverett Marsden Hubbard, Jr., a banker with financial interests in Wallingford and in Hartford, making his home in the former city, where he was born February 15, 1882, is a son of Judge L. M. Hubbard. His education was acquired in the Wesleyan Academy at Wilbraham, Massachusetts, from which he was graduated with the class of 1901, and in the Princeton University, where he won his Bachelor of Science degree in 1905. He then entered the banking business in New York city with N. W. Harris & Company, of New York, Chicago and Boston. In 1909 the name of the firm was changed to Harris, Forbes &. Company. This is the largest distributing bond and investment firm in the country. In 1914 Mr. Hubbard was made manager for Connecticut, with offices in Hartford, and supervises the interests of the company in this state, in which connection an extensive business has been developed. Besides being a member of that firm Mr. Hubbard is also interested in the Wallingford Trust Company, of which he is a director and a member of the executive committee. His long experience in banking has made him thoroughly familiar with every phase of the work and with the investment business, and there is perhaps no one in Connecticut better qualified to speak upon the value of commercial paper or to advise as to judicious investment than he 

In his political views Mr. Hubbard is a republican and has taken an active interest in local affairs but never as an office holder by reason of the fact that his business interests keep him largely away from the city. He is a thirty-second degree Mason, belonging to Compass Lodge, No. 9, F. & A. M., of Wallingford; St. Elmo Commandery, K. T., of Meriden; Lafayette Consistory, S. P. K. S., of Bridgeport; and Sphinx Temple, A. A. O. N. M. S., of Hartford. He likewise has membership in the Quinnipiac Club, the Country Club of New Haven, the Princeton Club of New York and the Wallingford Club. His religious faith is indicated by his membership in St. Paul's Episcopal church. He resides at No. 26 South Main street in Wallingford and is numbered among the representative business men of Connecticut, figur-ing prominently in financial circles, while also widely and popularly known in social circles and in fraternal connections.
