About 15 years later Cortelli’s son Domero “Tim” Knife joined the business and the family bought a small store on Court Street. They named the store Knife the English translation of Cortelli. At about this time the family began to sell locally brewed beer to supplement the grocery business. The beer proved popular and the business moved to a new store on Hedge Street. But Prohibition came in 1920 and forced the family to scratch out a living selling soda and grain. Shortly after Repeal in 1933 the company obtained the rights to sell Anheuser-Busch products.
