Because, if you're distracted (and thus delayed) after you turn on the gas, there could be a build-up which may explode ! Lighting the match before turning on the gas supply, means any escaping gas will quickly ignite.

How do you light an O'Keefe and Merritt stove?

You should be able to turn the knob and it should light. If it doesn't and it's very old, and you can hear gas flowing, you need to light it with a match when you turn the knob. If it's newer, then the pilot is probably out. You can light it by pushing the red safety button (usually in the left side storage compartment if it's a one-oven stove or under the top of the stove if two ovens) and putting a match to the pilot at the back top of the broiler for the oven and under the middle of the griddle for the burners. You may have to hold the button in for several seconds before it will stay lit.
