Flyers were printed in the thousands in the 1930s for distribution in the street and at meetings, and they were sometimes dropped from the air during rallies. Printed on one sheet, these four flyers were meant to be separated. One advertises printing services offered by the TGP, while the other three tout the effectiveness of illustrated propaganda. Their imagery shows the persecution of teachers, individuals from different backgrounds working together in harmony, and a group of people and a dog fighting a reactionary. En la década de 1930, las octavillas se imprimían por miles y se distribuían en la calle o en reuniones y, en algunos casos, se lanzaban desde el aire durante los actos electorales. Estas cuatro octavillas, impresas en una lámina, se diseñaron para ser separadas. Una publicita los servicios de impresión ofrecidos por el TGP, mientras que las otras tres ensalzan la eficacia de la propaganda ilustrada. Las imágenes muestran la persecución de maestros, varias personas de distintos orígenes que trabajan juntas en armonía y un grupo de hombres acompañados por un perro que atacan a un reaccionario.
