Sale of Ideal Manufacturing Company. 
The Marlin Firearms Company, of New Haven, Conn., 
purchased the entire plant and good will of the Ideal 
Manufacturing Company, of New Haven, and will con¬ 
tinue the manufacture of the well-known Ideal imple¬ 
ments for rifles, pistols and shotguns. 
This famous Ideal Company was largely consequent to 
the enterprise, industry and genius of Mr. John H. 
Barlow, who was born in England in 1846. His father 
came to this country about a year and a half later, and 
followed his trade here as cotton weaver. Young Bar- 
low, at the age of- eight, began work in the cotton mill 
and continued thereat till the Civil War, wh.en he and 
his father enlisted, respectively in the 30th and 14th 
U. S. Infantry, After his service ended, he learned the 
trade of machinist, and in 1870 accepted a position in the 
machine shop of the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. 
After a very satisfactory term of years, in 1884, he left 
the Winchester company and started what is now known 
as the Ideal Manufacturing Company. The trade difficul¬ 
ties at the outset seemed insurmountable, but Mr. Bar- 
low inaugurated a campaign of dealing direct with the 
consumer, and finally achieved success. He is of a cheer¬ 
ful, optimistic nature. He makes friends and keeps 
them. He is liberal-minded and open-handed. He be¬ 
lieved in and practiced cash payments, never in his life 
having paid a bill with a note, and he states that he 
never lost $200 in bad debts. As a citizen, he stands 
for civic betterment, is a member of the Chamber of 
Commerce, of the Council of One Hundred, and of the 
Civic Federation of the City of New Haven. He is a 
member of the Grand Army, a Mason of high degree, a 
J. H. BARLOW. 
Recently Manager of the Ideal Manufacturing Company. 
member of the A. O. U. W., New England Order of 
Protection. His three daughters are graduates of Smith 
College, are artistically and musically inclined, making 
his home happy. 
The following letter from him to us affords a side¬ 
light on his broadness and kindliness of character: 
“Inclosed herewith you will find formal announcement 
of the sale of my entire business to Marlin Firearms 
Co., New Haven, Conn., I have, in an humble way, been 
an advertiser for many years in the columns of Forest 
and Stream, and I can truly say that among your sub¬ 
scribers I have many personal friends. To these and all 
of them and the shooting fraternity in general, I desire 
you to extend my most cordial thanks for the many 
favors and kindnesses received. Many of my most im¬ 
mediate corresponding friends who are your subscribers, 
I have never seen, and never will see, yet, friends they 
have been to me, and I have been benefited by their 
kind letters, kind words, spoken of me and my business 
and my goods to their friends. To these I feel grateful, 
and would ask Forest and Stream to tell them so. 
“Thinking perhaps some of your readers might like to 
see what sort of a looking fellow they have befriended, I 
inclose a picture of the ‘Ideal’ man. 
“I am pleased at this time to say to my successors, 
the Marlin Fire Arms Co., that I have found my ad¬ 
vertisement in the pages of Forest and Stream a 
paying investment, and I believe that they will do the 
same, and it is with pleasure that I recommend it not 
only to them, but any and all manufacturers of powder, 
arms, ammunition or sporting goods in general. 
“Thanking you for your help to me in the past 
through Forest and Stream, I am very sincerely yours, 
“J. H. Barlow.’’ 
The Forest and Stream may be obtained from any 
newsdealer on order. Ask your dealer to supply you 
regularly.
