To Whom It May Concern,
Van Marcus, President of The Source Line Inc., has served
Christie's Inc. in various capacities over the past four years.
Most
recently, The Source Line is responsible for the logistics of our auction catalogue distribution.
The service includes handling the delivery of our catalogues from the origin at Christie's printers
in London to the final destinations throughout North and South America. The Source Line
arranges for international flights, clearance from U.S. customs, and inserts catalogues into the
appropriate mail systems, all under an extremely tight schedule.
The Source Line's logistics expertise has successfully solved many problems and planned
alternative routes when air strikes, bumped flights, or holidays interrupt the normal flow of
business. The Source Line's level of service has been excellent; they anticipate our needs and
take a personal interest in ensuring that we meet our deadlines.
If I can be of further assistance, or you require additional information, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely,
Gary M. Piattori
Vice President
Director of Operations
