S. B. Warren is the secretary and manager of The Record Publishing Company, publishers of The Commercial Record, a weekly publication devoted to the business interests of Connecticut and western Massachusetts. The Record was founded in 1882, and for eighteen years Mr. Warren has directed its development, making it, as he says, “A business necessity.” He is well qualified for work of this character, and through his efforts the paper has for many years enjoyed a most substantial circulation throughout the field which it covers, and the value of the paper is attested by the liberal patronage accorded it.

  Mr. Warren is a native of New Canaan, Connecticut, born February 27, 1864. His parents, James D. and Mary E. (Smith) Warren, were also natives of this state. The father, who was a well known contractor and builder, died in New Canaan in 1915, while the mother passed away in New Haven in 1916. The second in a family of three children, Mr. Warren started in the business world in a clerical capacity and after a time removed from New Canaan to New Haven, where he became connected with the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. He spent ten years at that place, after which he resigned to enter into active connection with The Record Publishing Company, which was organized by his brother in 1882.

  On the 2d of May, 1888, Mr. Warren was married to Miss Minnie Stanton, of Norwalk, Connecticut, daughter of Henry M. Stanton. Two children were born to them, Harold S. and Ruth E., in 1890 and 1892 respectively. Mrs. Warren died in 1910. The son, after his graduation from the Sheffield Scientific School, spent six months in Costa Rica with the United Fruit Company, afterwards going with the New Haven Pulp & Board Company, leaving there to serve his country in the United States Navy. The daughter, after graduation from the Walnut Hill school, of Natick, Massachusetts, was married to Harvey Chalmers, II, of Amsterdam, New York, where they now reside. They have two children, both boys, Harvey, III, born in 1915, and Arthur A., born in 1917.

  Mr. Warren has for many years been active in the Calvary Baptist church, where he has served as superintendent of the Bible school and as deacon and in various other capacities. He has also been active in promoting the growth and development of the Edgewood section of the city, where he has resided for twelve years, and was one of the founders of the Edgewood Civic Association. He has a high standing among the business men of the community and is well and favorably known throughout the state.
