Exhibit 31.2


                                  CERTIFICATE

I, Thomas C. Spielberger, certify that:

1) I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of Jordan
   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 registrant as of,
   and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;

4) The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible
   for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
   procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
   15d-15(e)) for the registrant and we 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
      registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made
      known to us by others within those entities, particularly during
      the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;

   b) Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant'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 and based on such evaluation; and

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

5) The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
   our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
   to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board
   of directors (or persons performing the equivalent function):

   a) All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the
      design or operation of internal controls over financial
      reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the
      registrant'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 registrant's
      internal controls over financial reporting.
