Tm The Pre-eminent Position of Baker Electrics has again been demonstrated On August 30th. 1910. a BAKES- ELECTRIC! shaft driven Victoria, equipped with forty cells of A-6 Edison battery, was driven 201.6 miles at an average speed of 12 miles per tour through such streets and roads in and about Cleveland as would be met in the ordinary daily use of a Oar. The entire run was made under the personal observation of Chas. O. Steinhauer, automobile editor of the Cleveland Leader. , The yigvion record of 160.8 miles was made July 29th, 1907, by a Baker Eleotrio equipped with a standard lead plate battery. This performance has never been equaled by any other car. 1 mechanical and electrical PERFECTION and the ABSENCE OF FRICTION in a BAKER ELECTRIC, combined with an EDISOxx BATTERY, is responsible for this phenomenal and unequaled performance, and again our claim is substantiated that with corresponding equipment, a BAKER will make MORE MILES at a GREATER speed than any other Electric car in the world. No other car can approach this record, for no other Oar can be operated with so little current consumption at a given speed and so great efficiency. This performance also demonstrates the superiority of the BEVEL OEAR SHAFT DRIVE over any other type of transmission. The Car which made this world-record performance will be on exhibition at our Salesroom, 7100 Euclid Avenue, September 3d, 4th and Bto. NEW MODELS NOW READY Furnished with either EBsen or lead batteries. The Baker Motor Vehicle Company, Cleveland Electric Garage Company 2218-20-22 Farnam Street Omaha, Nebraska. Ihavt handled Baiter Electrics for the pa$t three yeare, coneequtntly my experience covert every type of car they have built. The Baker Motor Vehicle Company ttand today a the moat progreteive and experienced electric manufacturers in the country, and, in almost every case their ideas are copiel by others. The bevel gear shaft a'rire, which they have perfected after years of experimtnting, has rtvelutionized electric vehicle construction, and made it more simple, swifter, easier to operate, and given them a greater mileage than any other electric. At far as the Edison battery it concerned J oan only lay that the above record teill speak for itself. Oar demonstrator, equipped with this battery, will be shipped shortly, at which time we will make a series of runs and tests, to see exactly what the Baker will do for the peeple of Omaha.
