Jacob and his family settled in Cleveland, Ohio, where at 13, Jacob began apprenticing at the Cleveland Herald, learning typesetting and various aspects of the printing business. While thus employed, he studied for the ministry and was appointed a member of the Northwest Ohio Conference of the Methodist Church. Jacobs son, Charles J. Krehbiel soon followed in his fathers footsteps. Charles dedication to printing began at an early age. He began working at the Cleveland Leader at age 12, sweeping floors and building fires to supplement the family income, eventually learning how to sort and clean wood type, to set type by hand, and to work on the presses. This knowledge, along with a keen business sense, led the way to Charles future success. The Krehbiel family moved to Cincinnati in 1867 when Jacob accepted an assignment of co-founding a Cincinnati German speaking Methodist Church. Soon thereafter, Charles found employment at the John Tanner Job Shop and later at the Methodist Book Concern where he met future partner James Moss. The two friends opened their own print shop, C.J. Krehbiel & Company, at Third and Walnut on Thanksgiving Day, 1872. Over the next few decades, many changes took place in the business. Charles purchased Moss interest in the business after his partners death. The company made several location changes, finally settling near the Miami and Erie Canals in downtown Cincinnati at the corner of Hunt and Broadway. Around the turn of the 20th century, The C.J. Krehbiel Company attracted customers such as Standard Publishing, Baptist Book Concern, Bobbs-Merrill, West Publishing, and Southwestern Publishing. Other notable accounts included Bethesda Hospital, Cincinnati Milling Machine, Mabley and Carew, The Van Leunan Company, Frank Herschede Company, and Kroger Grocery & Baking Company. - less
