1915 Baker Electrics Advertisement, "A Light Weight Electric of the Very Highest Quality"
01
Artifact Overview
The Baker Motor Vehicle Company advertised its light weight electric car in this 1915 ad. Similar advertisements touted the Baker electric as simple to use, reliable, clean, and elegantly styled -- qualities implied by this ad's artwork. By 1915, however, sales of "electrics" were in decline. Gasoline-powered vehicles with internal combustion engines were dominating the market.
