你不殺共產党共產党必殺你 (If You Do Not Kill the Communists, the Communists Will Kill You), Concordia Association Jinzhou leaflet
A text-only single-sheet leaflet in two vertical lines of large characters: 'If you do not kill the Communists, the Communists will surely kill you' and 'The Communists can destroy but cannot build'. The Concordia Association's Jinzhou provincial headquarters is named at the foot. The first line offers the reader a kill-or-be-killed choice, and the second states as fact what the Communists can and cannot do.

Vertical text is read top to bottom, right column first. 共產党 is 'the Communist Party' (also 'Communists'); the leaflet gives no punctuation, so the right column is one sentence in two clauses. The foot lines are letter-spaced and read right to left. Text is fully legible at 960 px.
