Muskegon Oil Boom Turns Tailor to Tycoon
In Muskegon a local oil boom erupts as two wells spit 300 barrels daily and a third roars skyward. Stanley Danihof, once a tailor, drove the venture amid widespread skepticism, now shaping the operation that owns the two producing wells. Landowner Charles Reels earns an eighth of revenue and upgrades to a car, while the Figge well vents 4 553 000 cubic feet of natural gas daily. State geologist R A Smith hopes the boom grows with new drifts being sunk daily.
