Rogers (Standard Radio Manufacturing) was a well established and historic Canadian Company. In 1924 the company founder Ted Rogers Sr. developed the first radio tube to operate on alternating current. In 1928 Standard Radio merged with the Grigsby-Grunow Company of Chicago, manufacturer of "Majestic" radios thus the name Rogers Majestic.
Ted Rogers Sr. died in 1939 and in 1941 Rogers radio was sold to Small Electric Motors Limited. In 1945 Small Electric Motors Limited was sold to Philips Electronics Ltd.
