The M sample series is a collection of sample cards that are held in three folders in box 2 of the Lilac Hedges collection. Since the cards are sample cards they are glued to sturdy paper which also contains the organizational number of each card and the price of each card. Artists who signed artwork in this series are Jac Venza, Hilary Knight, and Ralph P. Hinchman. The M series appears to be cards which had envelopes which were made for each card; each sample has the card glued on one size of the card and the envelope on the reverse. Many of the items in the series appear to be Christmas cards, but some of the items appear to be stationery. Three of the cards are elaborate cards such as a version of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” (811 ) parody of “ ‘Twas Night Before Christmas” (934 M), sheet music for “A Child This Day is Born” (935 M),
