Painting Description
The “dirty thirties” reality of a job and survival, was the beginning of the first sixty years. In 1930, Edward Knechtel did not plan to become a grocer, but rather, needed a job to support his family. On the advice of his father, Edward Knechtel, or the “Cheeseman” as he was called, peddled sausage and cheese to local retail grocers in the same area as the Company services today. Since then, this one job has expanded from one person to over 275 people and from one company to three, and, from one 1926 Ford car made into a truck, to a fleet of twenty-six trucks. Unfortunately this company no longer exists having been absorbed into successive corporations.
