Banana brand (4)

I believe the answer is:

dole

(Other definitions for dole that I've seen before include "State assistance" , "Unemployment pay" , "Kansas senator and 1996 presidential candidate, Bob" , "Money received from the state while unemployed" , "Dish (out sparingly)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.com and The New Yorker.
