The Capitol Light & Supply Company

The Capitol Light & Supply Company -- known to all as CLS -- was founded in 1920. Through about 20 locations in New England, CLS distributes lighting products (ballasts, fixtures, emergency lighting systems, lamps), wire and cable, fans, and conduit. Morris B. Cartin started CLS and ran it until his death in 1937, after which his wife, Edith, was the president for 25 years. Mickey Cartin, grandson of the founder, sold CLS to international electrical distributor Rexel in mid-2006. CLS became part of Rexel's US subsidiary, Rexel, Inc., and is known as Rexel CLS and Rexel Capitol Light.
