In her cozy apartment in the heart of New York City, Margaret Collins stitched clothing, dyed with natural herbs and flowers from a small window flower box. It was a cramped area, but she was driven to make a living from it, and she was talented. This desire led her to consider finding a life partner who shared similar dreams - someone with a shop or business of their own and a house with a large garden out West, perhaps in Utah or Montana. As she strolled through the city, a sign caught her eye. The sign hanging above the entrance to a marriage broker's office was painted in bold, eye-catching letters, beckoning women to "Go West." Inside, the walls were decorated with posters of beautiful landscapes and picturesque houses. There was also a row of framed photographs showcasing happy couples in front of their dream homes.
