The clear driving force of the pair was Freiberg, born in Neu Leiningen, Germany, in 1823. At the age of 24, he immigrated to the United States in 1847, settling first in Williamstown, Kentucky, where he ran a general store for several years. In those days liquor was a staple of such enterprises and Freiberg soon became acquainted with leading Kentucky distillers and their products. After a few months, he decided that the future lay in selling whiskey not whisk broom and 1852 he moved to Cincinnati. There he initially was a whiskey broker, credited with bringing the first commercial quantities of bourbon out of Kentucky. In 1855 he partnered with his future brother-in-law, Levi Workum, to establish a wholesale liquor business. A year later he married “Duffie” Workum, reputed to be the first Jewish child born west of the Allegheny Mountains. Two years later their first son, J. (Jacob) Walter Freiberg, was born.
His business partner was his wife's brother Levi J. Workum. Julius helped raise money to found Hebrew Union College. He was inducted into theGreater Cincinnati Business Hall of Fame in September 1994.
