Immediately after its establishment, the Party committees at all levels in the two provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh focused on propaganda work, mobilizing the masses to participate in the revolutionary struggle movement. To do this work well, it was necessary to organize the printing of documents and send them to the grassroots. In the conditions of the Party organization operating secretly and in a difficult situation, two printing methods were mainly used: lithography and lithography.
The Party's printing staff had to rely on the people. The lithographic method was used frequently because the raw materials were easy to buy, the printing plates were simple, and the efficiency was high.
* Materials used for lithography:
Jelly: dried seaweed fibers or powder.
Printing mold: tea tray, copper tray or tea cup tray.
Thin paper.
Ink: purple or black.
The template is written in thick ink.
* Lithography method:
Put the jelly in a pot to cook, pour it into a mold and flatten it to cool. Place the template on the jelly mold, on the jelly mold there will be a left letter. Then use thin paper to place on the jelly mold, gently flatten the paper. Take out the paper and we will have a print that matches the template.
When the purple ink on the printing plate has faded, put the jelly back in the pot and cook it again and continue as the printing method above.

The printed artifacts are mostly household items of revolutionary families used by printing cadres as means of printing Party documents, aiming to propagate, educate, enlighten and call on the masses to fight; at the same time denouncing the crimes of French colonialists and feudal lackeys (1930-1931).
