Dr. Seuss Drew Ads for Rhode Island's Narragansett Beer
In the 1970s, you could walk into any bar or tavern in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and order a “Narry” or a “Gansett,” and before long, you’d be wiping away a foam-head mustache while guzzling your Narragansett beer.
Narragansett was once the No. 1-selling beer in New England. Big changes in the beer brewing industry and changes within the Narragansett Brewing Company have resulted in the brew occupying a much smaller segment of the beer-brewing market.
Narragansett Beer was originally brewed in a brick brewhouse in Cranston, Rhode Island.
The Narragansett Brewing Company website says, “In 1890, six German immigrants came together with $150,000 to construct this building and start Narragansett Beer. Less than a decade later, Narragansett Beer was the largest-selling beer in New England.”
Ownership changes, court battles and company relocations negatively impacted the Narragansett product name. In 2005, a group of Rhode Island businessmen attempted to reinvigorate the Narragansett name.
In 2016, it was announced that Narragansett was returning to Rhode Island. A new generation of Narragansett Beer was brewed in Pawtucket the following year. The Narragansett Brewing Company is now located in Providence.

In the first half of the last century, Narragansett Beer was a primary sponsor of Boston Red Sox baseball broadcasts during which announcer Curt Gowdy coined the slogan, “Hi neighbor, have a ‘Gansett.”
Narragansett Beer was featured in several films, including Jaws, parts of which were filmed in Massachusetts.
During World War II, Springfield, Massachusetts native Theodor Seuss Geisel, later known as Dr. Seuss, created advertising lithographs with a character named “Chief Gansett,” to promote Narragansett Beer.
The lithographs appeared on posters, trays and other promotional products.

Geisel’s father and grandfather operated a brewery in Springfield until it was forced to close under prohibition.

Prominent Rhode Island Democrat caught on video telling officer, ‘You know who I am?’ during DUI stop
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A prominent Rhode Island Democrat was captured on police bodycam video asking an officer, “You know who I am?” before her arrest during a recent traffic stop.
Maria Bucci, 51, who is the chairwoman of the Democratic committee in Cranston – the second-largest city in the state – is now facing a misdemeanor DUI charge following a traffic stop on Dec. 18 in East Greenwich, according to media reports.
“You know who I am right?” Bucci is heard telling an East Greenwich police officer just moments after he said he smelled alcohol in her breath and described her driving as erratic.
“I don’t know who you are miss,” the officer responds, before adding, “You can start throwing out names and start doing out what you need to do, it’s not going to work with me, I’m telling you right now, I’m not the guy for that.”

The bodycam footage shows the officer trying to lead Bucci through a series of sobriety tests.
Bucci, a former Cranston mayoral candidate, previously served on the City Council from 2004 to 2008 and also launched an unsuccessful bid for a Rhode Island House of Representatives seat last year, the Cranston Herald reported.
At one point during the traffic stop, Bucci is heard saying, “Call my husband right now, and call the attorney general and everybody else in town, cause this is disgusting, God forbid I was a Black person, I’d be arrested.”

The officer eventually takes Bucci into custody. As she is placed in handcuffs, she says “you’re a d—” and looks towards the body camera.
“Like I am not drinking, you’re a loser,” she adds.
At the beginning of the video, Bucci told the officer she had a glass of wine and had attended a Christmas party.
Bucci, who is expected to be arraigned on Jan. 5, was released on a $1,000 personal recognizance, according to WPRI.
As Bucci was placed in handcuffs, she is heard telling the officer “you’re a d—.” She also stared into the body camera and said, “gimme the camera.” (East Greenwich Police Department)
