Hi Neighbor Heritage: Gus's In Oakland Beach

Narraganset sign @ Gus's Restaurant Oakland Beach Yr.-1936 from the photo albums of Mrs Gus's Doughboys on Facebook from James Rengigas.

My Grandfathers brother Minas,Aunt Freida, and uncle George. Sign says "The Famous Narragansett Banquet Ale." We sold Narragansett from 1935 to 1982 on Tap & Bottle.

The Gansett sign and the neon surrounding the 2 buildings was a landmark for fisherman & quahaugers returning at night. The sign and neon would give them direction to Warwick Cove. Just think there was no personal radar on the boat for the common folks. This was a replacement sign from the one we had,,and was put up free complements of the brewery. We had to sell a lot of Gansett to earn that. The brewery also painted the smaller on at the bottom "Parking for customers only" Wow what a company ! Not just a beer but a good neighbor!
