    don’t know about the tabloidy style but grotesque types started in the 19th century. makes sense that it would be popular enough in the early 20th century, leading into art deco, which is mostly associated with sans serif types.

      The typography in the picture is not from 1913. It is modern. The text may be transcribed from a 1913 text, but it would not have looked like that in the slightest.
