This is the September 12, 1913 publication of the Richmond County Advance. What’s front page news on this day?

A member of the esteemed Van Duzer family recovered a motorcycle stolen from his Port Richmond bicycle and motorcycle shop.
Additionally, there are various advertisements, most notably for the “ostentatious” grand re-opening of the New Plaza Theatre.
