This paper studies the configuration of the discourse of advertisements for technological products aimed at children and adolescents during the Second Spanish Republic. Special attention is paid to the arguments and linguistic, iconic and iconographic devices used to highlight the excellence of the products and the benefits they will bring to their users. A representative sample has been selected from a corpus of 484 published in the press of the time during the indicated period. Methodologically, the content is analyzed in the double descriptive and interpretative aspect. It is concluded that the advertising in question creates a stereotype, that of the young consumer, and lays the foundations for subsequent advertising. The advertisements analyzed, in addition to being novel from the discursive and visual perspective, constitute an important vestige of the imaginaries and values established in the society of the time.
