Sales Catalog for Baker Electric Shaft Driven Automobiles, 1911
01
Artifact Overview
The Baker Motor Vehicle Company produced this elaborately folded catalog to tout the quality of its electric vehicles. The company praised their automobile's modern shaft drive, its all-around efficiency, and its safety, comfort and low cost of operation. By mid-decade, however, sales of "electrics" were in decline. Gasoline-powered vehicles with internal combustion engines were dominating the market.
