Glenn Matthews of the Pleasant Hill community near Liberty hatched a winner when he started making furniture in his mother's two 210-foot-long chicken houses. He decided in 1977 there was a better opportunity in making and selling furniture then driving someone else's product to market. Greenbriar Furniture, Inc. started small and today is a $500,000 with twenty-three employees. He also operates Matthews Trucking Co., a ten truck, twenty-one trailer business that hauls the furniture.
