HOSPITAL PATIENTS CHOOSE ROGERS RADIO. The Canadian “Radio Sales” reports:— As the result of a very unique plan for determining the favourite radio, a Toronto Hospital has purchased a Rogers Model 520 and has installed two hundred and rixty-five bed ’phones with an additional one hundred to be installed a little later. Several competing sets were put into the institution on approval and the patients were asked to vote on them, not knowing for which make they were casting their vote, but making their choice by numbers only. In other words they voted for radio No. 1 or 2 or whatever it happened to be and the Rogers was the one with the highest number of votes and was therefore picked by the hospital authorities. After eliminating all but two sets, for the final competition, the Rogers got two hundred and fifteen out of two hundred and twenty votes.
