- Calvin Sam Barlow (May 13, 1856 – April 5, 1920) was a pioneer and politician of Tacoma, Washington. He was considered one of the most successful merchants of the city. In 1877, he came to Tacoma–a small village at the time–and opened its first butcher shop. Barlow successfully conducted the business for three years in partnership with his brother. Later, they founded the Tacoma Trading Company (later, C. S. Barlow & Sons) and started dealing in various building materials as well as manufacturing their own. In 1903, their company was one of the largest in the city, and one of the leading merchants. It was stated that the company supplied near three-fourths of the lime for all of the Tacoma buildings of that time. Over the years, Barlow became a highly esteemed Tacoma merchant. As a politician, Barlow was an active and member of the Republican party. He was a member of the City Council and was twice elected to the Washington State Legislature. He was first elected in 1897 during the mainly Populist victories. Barlow was one of the founders of the tax system, one of the charter members and trustees of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Washington Supreme Court bench, and a member of the Washington State Board of Visitation for prisons. Barlow was considered one of the best-known Tacoma citizens. He was a member and founder of the first Tacoma military organization and a member of the Board of Trustees for Puget Sound University. He invested in real estate, mining, and other establishments, erected a building on Jefferson Avenue, and was a member and a leader of a number of organizations, including the Washington State Historical Society, the Pierce County Pioneers' Association, the Tacoma Commercial Club, and others.
