Leich Electric was a manufacturer of telephone equipment in the United States. At first Leich produced telephone sets, but later also manufactured small crosspoint telephone switches for the independent telephone companies.
The company was created as the Cracraft-Leich Electric Company as a result of a merger of the Advance Electric Company and the Eureka Electric Company. The name was changed to the Leich Electric Co. in 1917. In 1950 it was purchased by General Telephone Corporation
Leich Electric was located in Genoa, Illinois in 1903, although its predecessors had been located in McCordsville, Indiana and Chicago, Illinois.

“Suddenly I’m not half the girl
I used to be.
There’s a shadow hanging over me . . .
From me to you out of my electric devil....”
