EXHIBIT 31
                                 CERTIFICATIONS

I, Charles G. Masters, certify that:

1.   I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of RANGER INDUSTRIES,
     INC.;

2.   Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
     statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this quarterly report;

3.   Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
     information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
     material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash
     flows of the Small Business Issuer as of, and for, the periods presented in
     this quarterly report;

4.   I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
     procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for
     the Small Business Issuer and I have:

     (a)  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures or caused such
          disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
          supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the Small
          Business Issuer including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known
          to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period
          in which this report is being prepared;

     (b)  Evaluated the effectiveness of the Small Business Issuer's disclosure
          controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions
          about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as
          of the end of the period covered by this report based on such
          evaluation; and

     (c)  Disclosed in this report any change in the Small Business Issuer's
          internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the
          Small Business Issuer's most recent fiscal quarter (the Small Business
          Issuer's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that
          has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
          the Small Business Issuer's internal control over financial reporting;
          and

5.   I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
     over financial reporting, to the Small Business Issuer's auditors and the
     audit committee of the Small Business Issuer's board of directors (or
     persons performing the equivalent functions);

     (a)  All significant deficiencies in the design or operation of internal
          control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to
          adversely affect the Small Business Issuer's ability to record,
          process, summarize and report financial information; and


     (b)  Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees who have a significant role in the Small Business Issuer's
          internal controls over financial reporting.
