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

<PAGE>

(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.
