And many of these 1917-20 cards/photos do have the Felix Mendelsohn company initials actually on the cards/photos themselves, unlike the M101-4/M101-5 type card sets that have no indication of being produced/printed by Felix Mendelsohn on them at all. Again, probably a big reason why the 1917-20 photos/cards are now most often referred to as THE Felix Mendelsohn set, but not the earlier issued cards with no Felix Mendelsohn references on them at all. But as already stated, all of these cards/photos were produced/printed by the Felix Mendelsohn company, so referring to them all as Felix Mendelsohn's is not inaccurate.

I was referring to what people commonly know as E135 Collins-McCarthy, H801 Boston Store, D328 Weil Baking and D350-2 Standard Biscuit. These 1917 cards all came from Mendelsohn, and so could be listed as 1917 Felix Mendelsohn with subsets if so desired. In that case, though, you would want to differentiate the m101-6 set, which as noted is completely different from the others and had multiple years of production.
