1910 Baker Electrics Advertisement, "The Social Prestige of the Baker Electric"

The Baker Motor Vehicle Company advertised its elegantly styled electric car in this 1910 ad. Clearly aimed at well-to-do women, this advertisement discusses only a couple of the vehicle's operational and mechanical features -- a noiseless shaft drive and ease of riding. Company advertisers believed these features were desired by the refined, society-conscious woman and would encourage the purchase of their automobile.
