Elexits 
Places for Lights 
Fixture fitted with plug 
for Elexit, ready to 
insert. 
This compact little 
plug, with or with¬ 
out an adaptor, makes 
practically any type 
of wall bracket ready 
to plug into a wall 
Elexit anywhere, any 
time, as occasion or 
convenience may 
require. 
Plugging- in fixture by inserting plug in Elexit. 
Fixture plugged in and canopy fastened — ready 
to use.

receptacle. This uni¬ 
versal receptacle with 
circular or rectangu¬ 
lar plate can be at¬ 
tached to virtually all 
types of outlet boxes 
in either walls or 
ceilings — ready to 
receive instantly eith¬ 
er of the Elexit fix¬ 
ture supporting plugs 
shown, or the stand¬ 
ard attachment plugs 
now found on elec¬ 
trical appliances. 
I MAGINE the joy of being able to change 
the lighting scheme of your room as 
often as you wish. 
Imagine the convenience of having light 
whenever and wherever you want it. 
Think wdiat it will mean to move your 
lighting fixtures as easily as pictures—to 
use them in any part of the room—or in 
some other part of the house—to select 
them to harmonize with your furniture and 
decorations, and to place them yourself. 
All the charm of such changeable light¬ 
ing is now within reach of everyone through 
the perfection of a new method of finishing 
off electric wiring outlets with inconspicu¬ 
ous flush receptacles. 
These receptacles in walls or ceilings, 
look a good deal like the present base board 
receptacle with which we are all familiar. 
They are called “Elexits.” 
Elexits receive standardized fixture¬ 
supporting plugs—as well as the standard 
attachment plug now furnished with nearly 
all electrical appliances. 
The two piece ceiling 
plug which takes the place 
of canopy and wiring con¬ 
nections and makes nearly 
all types of chandeliers 
or hanging fixtures lock 
themselves securely, by 
their own weight, into 
any ceiling Elexit. The 
fixture is installed by in¬ 
serting each half of the 
plug separately and hang¬ 
ing the fixture on the re¬ 
versely curved hooks as 
they ere brought together.

The cap of a stand¬ 
ard attachment plug 
fits all Elexits. This 
plug is now found on 
nearly all electrical 
appliances or can easily be 
put on. It makes them more 
readily and universally used 
because of the added conveni¬ 
ence of being able to plug 
them in wherever you have 
an Elexit. 
All types of fixtures, from the simplest 
to the most elaborate, can easily be fitted 
with these fixture-supporting plugs for 
Elexits. 
Then with Elexits installed wherever 
you think you ma}’’ want light—either in 
new buildings or old—your lighting sys¬ 
tem at once becomes flexible —and your 
fixtures become portable by simply plug¬ 
ging them into or out of your Elexits. 
Fixtures of any kind can be plugged in 
wherever and whenever wanted—changed 
for others if you redecorate—moved about 
if you decide to rearrange the room— 
taken down for the summer or for cleaning 
—put up for occasions—taken along 
when you move. 
No wiring work is necessary, no electri¬ 
cian is needed to put up or take down your 
fixtures if }mu have Elexits. You can plug 
them in, yourself, as easily as you now at¬ 
tach a toaster or an iron. The mere plug¬ 
ging in makes both the electrical and the 
mechanical connections. 
Elexits should be installed in every 
home, apartment, office, hotel, club or other 
building, new or old, where light is required. 
If you are building, talk to your archi¬ 
tect and your builder about Elexits—or 
get your electrical contractor to put 
Elexits in the buildings you now occupy.
