McCaskey had made a huge fortune in the sauerkraut business and had recently become an investor and President of the 101 Ranch Oil Company located on the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch property in Ponca City, Oklahoma.
In 1910 he was approached by John G. McCaskey, a social acquaintance from Pittsburgh and E. W. Marland, President and founder of the 101 Ranch Oil Company of Ponca City, Oklahoma that was on the verge of failure having run out of money after drilling seven wells and only having found natural gas.
In 1911, Wentz at the age of 34, was sent to Ponca City, to check on McCaskey's investments with the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch and E. W. Marland's 101 Ranch Oil Company.
