Cheap electricity came to the Portland area with the Bonneville Power Administration in the 30's. That might be what stimulated the market for electric stoves. Richard Townsend

Fresh stencils all around that seem to coincide with the 7-25 reweigh stencil. The car should have been weighed again no later than summer of 1927, but I'm guessing the photo date is very close to the reweigh date given the absence of soot or apparent weathering.
