When I came to this country, the first thing I see is those big stores. I said there is the Hecker's flour...there is the condensed milk! When I was married...one day I was shopping and I came home crying; he says what happened to you. All the things I bought in the stores, what I got in Vienna and I could only dream about, not even taste it. And here I see it on the shelf. I bought everything and I'm gonna go there every day and I'm gonna buy it.

Anna Kuthan quoted in Elizabeth Ewen, Immigrant Women in the Land of Dollars, 66
