The proud employees of the Arrowhead Co-Op Creamery Association pose in front of a fleet of six or seven Arrowhead trucks. The man in the truck is John Antilla; on the hood of the truck is Walter Stenman.

The men in the lower part of the photo are Erick Mattson, Bill Mattson, Benharte Pentilla, ? Juntelinen, Hugo Sarkela, and Carl Hultberg.
The photograph shows the Arrowhead Co-Op Creamery Building with 14 Arrowhead Creamery trucks, plus the staff, in downtown Esko. To the far left is a portion of the Lincoln School. The photograph was taken on the north side of present day Highway 61, looking south. As of 2011 the site is occupied by the Esko Post Office building and its parking lot, as well as a part of the museum site. The figures in white appear to be male employees of the Creamery, except for the one on the farthest to the right with the shorter white skirt, who appears to be a woman, perhaps a secretary or a office worker.
