          The  Conrey-Birely  Table Company of this city, have filed their papers today increasing their capital stock to $500,000.  Two hundred thousand dollars of this stock will be preferred, and the remaining three hundred thousand dollars will be common stock.  Preferred stock only will be sold.  Preferred stock is guaranteed 7 per cent, payable semi-annually.  A large per cent of this stock is now taken by parties from a distance and as soon as all of the preferred stock is sold, and rightfully secured for switches for the westside factories, the company will start the cabinet plant and employ about three hundred additional men.
          This will give Shelbyville another great boom and place her right at the front as one of the leading furniture factory towns in Indiana.  We will have more to say upon this subject on Monday.
