Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Zumkehr are shown lowering a bag of Swiss cheese curd and whey into a square cheese form prior to pressing the cheese. In a small cheese factory, it often was necessary for the wife to assume the role of a hired man. She worked side-by-side with her husband, dipping the cheese, cleaning the separator and kettles, or operating the can washer.
