Queen St., Shippensburg PA Dear Mr, Stewart : It is with regrets that we must give notice that we will not be requiring the services of your company anymore to supply mats to our Domestic Division. We understand that it may take some time to effect this change so we suggest that we make the last day of service 30 days from today on February 15, 1997. If this is not agreeable, please call me at 216/926-2511, or Barb Cline at 717/532-6615. For the past year we have been seeking a company wide mat supplier as part of our Corporate Identity Program. This will make administration much easier and present continuity within our company, Given the fact that you are a regional company and would not be able to supply our facilities outside of your regional area, we felt that Coyne Textile Services would not make a good fit with our program, We would like to work with you on the removal of the mats so that we may have a smooth transition into our new service, without a loss of mats for our facility, fS- E- () 1;;' :l-c;J/'J 30 .EXHIBI1~ iJ :; i;..i:/ 'l'If"" h ;-( .
