After some more digging, it looks like this photo probably dates from around 1903. Here's a clipping from the January 1, 1903 edition of the Reading Eagle.
The January 25, 1903 edition of the Reading Eagle has a piece about A Bard Mohr moving from Pennsylvania to California to bring pretzels to the west coast. Some of the text is missing (hence why I didn't post it), but as far as I can see, his original destination was San Fransisco, before "careful investigation" concluded that Los Angeles would be a better market.

Here's an advert for the company from the 1903 CD. I believe the small text in
e_r's original picture says "PHONE 2063" (the "3" runs into the border).
