1961 "Paraguay en Marcha" Stamps

The "Paraguay en Marcha" stamp series from 1961.
In 1961, the Parguayan postal service issued a set of stamps depicting technological and industrial progress across the nation at the time when Paraguay was ruled by Gen. Alfredo Stroessner and the Colorado Party. This issue, titled "Paraguay en Marcha" ("Progress in Paraguay"), featured a barge hauling logs and a radio tower. These stamps were issued in 90 céntimos as well as 1, 2, and 5 guaraní denominations.
