Following are just a few comments we have received during our 20 years of publishing the Guide:
It (Cochran's Guide) is the only thing that works anymore.

Thanks for keeping us all going ...your booklet is the last worthwhile bit of advertising and promo...

I carry my book always, when we take our road trips. It's like my little bible.

This is one of the greatest advertising tools this town can be involved in.

Two yesterday, and one today who saw the ad in the Guide. They picked one up at Aurora, OR and found us... Jill and I, that way.

The Guide is the most popular book with our customers.

My partners in our new store refused to advertise... when I bought them out and started to advertise, my business doubled within three months.

This is the best advertising we have ever done!

You have got the best thing going.
David Boykin, Antiques at the Bank, Coos Bay, OR
Just have to tell you, someone stopped this noon, and the first thing he said when he got out of the pickup was that he found us in the Guide! He was from California, and is hitting most of the shops in this area.
Sue Keith, Susantiques, Aloha, OR
We have had such tremendous response to our Associate Listings!
