can anyone help identify any of the typefaces (attached)? and, if not, do you know fonts used in the 1920s in newspaper headlines, subheads and body copy? all suggestions are welcome, thank you.
attached is the original i found online. hope this is more helpful. thank you!
Enlarging bitmap images doesn't really help in identifying them; the bottom three lines are totally illegible.
The top line might be a De Vinne.
The "GO TO LOS ANGELES ...." might be a Runic.
The rest are probably various Moderns.

I haven't been able to find a match for the top line.
It seems to me that the matter in the middle is more likely to be a Clarendon than a Modern; for example, it might be Antique No. 6.
On the bottom, we do have a fat and bold version of a Modern; it could be Title No. 2.
That is, if one is using the Fifteenth Book of Specimens from the Cincinatti Type Foundry.
The type is all much too old-fashioned for, say, the 1923 ATF specimen book; one does, apparently, have to go back to the 19th Century.
I was suitably astonished, though, in coming across Gothic No. 8 on page 217 of the specimen book of the MacKellar, Smiths, and Jordan company of Philadelphia for June of 1892.
The title face on the top is a bit similar to Belwe Condensed, in that the crossbar on the E is high, and that on the R is low, but it is not a match (the crossbar on the E doesn't have serifs in the illustrated face).
Possibilities for headlines, from the 1923 ATF Specimen Book:
Globe Gothic Condensed
Cheltenham Bold Extra Condensed
Miehle Bold Headline
It's definitely not Cheltenham Bold Extra Condensed, because there's no big serif on the crossbar of the E. Globe Gothic Condensed has thick and thin strokes, but no serifs at all, so it's out as well.
Miehle Bold Headline is very close, but the crossbar in the R is only in the middle of the character, while in the example it's significantly below the middle.
