A popular collectible from Seuss's advertising days, with the motto "Gangway for Gansett!" beside the image of Chief Gansett carrying a beer tray with a frothy mug of Narragansett beer. Apparantely Seuss was a college friend of Mr. Haffenreffer at Dartmouth College. Mr. Haffenreffer later became a man of influence at Narragansett and asked his friend to design a tray.
