J Frank Detrick first operated a Milling company (Est. 1884) but he later began fermenting the grain he was milling and then turning it into liquor. The "Detrick Milling and Distilling Company" was established in 1897.
The Detrick Distillery (Registered distillery No. 60, 10 th District), was located in Tippecanoe City (now Tipp City), OH., about 30 miles north of Dayton.
The Detrick Distilling Co. retail store and mail order department was located at 313-315 E 1 st. Street, postal address "Lockbox 301" (1907). By 1908, they were shipping from 35 S. Ludlow, postal address was "Lockbox 928".
