01

Artifact Overview

Baker Motor Vehicle Company of Cleveland, Ohio, was established in 1899. From the start, it specialized in electric vehicles. Delivery trucks, like those in this Baker catalog, were well suited to electric power. Their routine schedules permitted regular charging, and their defined routes reduced the risk of batteries dying far from a charging station.
