“ The articles written about our family business in the pages of Forest & Bluff have been well researched and the photography also captured the beauty of Tangley Oaks, our headquarters in Lake Bluff.

“Forest & Bluff, since its very inception, has offered realtors a unique marketing option to bring their special listings to a targeted audience. The colorful pictures printed on high-quality glossy paper make it ideal to showcase their properties in a venue that goes to every home and business in Lake Forest and Lake Bluff, and even hangs around that very home sometimes for weeks on end! We have been using this vehicle happily since it first came to life!”



Arthur Miller, Historian and Librarian for Special Collections, Lake Forest College, Lake Forest

“We use Forest & Bluff at Lake Forest College as a reference tool. One hundred years from now, when someone comes looking for images of what our social community was like at the beginning of the 21st century, they will look to the images in the magazine.”




Tracy Wurster, Prudential Preferred,
Lake Forest


“Everywhere I go people comment on the profile article that was written about me. Advertising in Forest & Bluff and Sheridan Road as helped me to connect to the people who had no idea as to who I was -- it brought me to life in their eyes! The advertising that I do is definitely noticed heavily within the community. There is no better place than Forest & Bluff and Sheridan Road magazines to keep your face continually in front of the local public!”




Yuri Kisilevich and Stella Sharts, Owners of
Blink Optical, Lake Forest


“Every single person in Lake Forest reads Forest & Bluff magazine. Most people who come into my store are already knowledgeable about it – it has helped us really get our name out there. We consistently put an ad in every month. That way the constant message of our store and its services is programmed into the public’s heads.”




Jordan Aron, Imperial Motors,
Lake Bluff and Wilmette


“We have been consistent advertisers for approximately two years. We continually receive feedback that our ads are seen in your publications. To me this means people are reading your magazines, seeing our ads and remembering that they saw them: that is a tough thing to do in an age when people are bombarded with ad messages all day long.”




Mary Ann Hart Beardman, Bailey & Hart

“When I opened Bailey & Hart it was right around the same time John started Forest & Bluff. It was very serendipitous. The timing could not have been better. My business was promoted in such a professional way and our ad in John's magazine really helped create an awareness of my new business. Everyone at Forest & Bluff is a pleasure to work with. I have been advertising for 7 1/2 years with John and I will continue to do so.”
