"¿Y qué ocurre hoy? ... Vote SÍ" leaflet (Chile, 1988)
A black-on-buff sheet answers the question 'What is happening today?' with an unsourced claim that activity does not stop and 'the country grows for the benefit of all Chileans', then asks for a Sí vote 'for your security and your wellbeing' above a large starred 'SI' logo. The tell is the stack of virtue words (security, wellbeing, benefit of all) standing in for any figure or example.

Text on the object
¿Y QUE OCURRE HOY? LA ACTIVIDAD NO SE DETIENE Y EL PAIS CRECE PARA BENEFICIO DE TODOS LOS CHILENOS POR SU SEGURIDAD Y SU BIENESTAR VOTE SI [faint reversed show-through of the other face behind the text, mostly illegible: ... PARO DE LOS MÉDICOS / PARO DEL TRANSPORTE / PARO DEL COMERCIO / PARO DE COLEGIOS PROFESIONALES ...]
AND WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY? ACTIVITY DOES NOT STOP AND THE COUNTRY GROWS FOR THE BENEFIT OF ALL CHILEANS FOR YOUR SECURITY AND YOUR WELLBEING VOTE YES [show-through as above]
Front face as scanned, accents as printed (none). The catalogue records the other face as '¡Haga memoria! ¿Recuerda lo que ocurría hace 15 años atrás?...' (Remember! Do you recall what was happening 15 years ago?); the faint mirrored lines behind the text are that face showing through the paper.
