The Nicollet Creamery Association that served people in the Nicollet, Minnesota, area began in 1896. The original building, shown on this postcard, was constructed that year.
Views of both Third and Pine Streets as well as images of the creamery, the consolidated school, and the Nicollet State Bank can be seen on this Nicollet, Minnesota, postcard.
The Nicollet Creamery Association that served people in the Nicollet, Minnesota, area began in 1896. The building shown on this postcard was constructed in 1917.
The first creamery in Hendricks was located by the creek in the northwest part of town. A slaughter house was nearby off the creek. A man is standing in his wagon delivering two cream cans to the creamery. A horse is pulling the man and his cart.
The creamery as it looked new. The entrance on the left was the receiving station. The building exists today minus the receiving station. It is being converted to a microbrewery.
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. From left to right, in the upper row, are Frank Rooney, Ben Mallinen, Hjalmer Mattinen, Anton Oak, Elmer Oak, Orrie Stenroos, Clarence Stenman, and Arvid Peterson. 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.
The proud staff of the Arrowhead Creamery are posed in front of their fairly new delivery truck. From left to right at Charles Marks (or Charles Markus, as his name is written on the back of the photo), the chairman; Charlie Stenman, Albert Olson, Evertt Mylymaa, Niila Seikula, Andrew Wolanen, Nels Johnson, Charlie Antilla, Oscar Johnson, A.L. Winterquist, and T. Larson, Manager.
