Dividend investors love to get as much income as they can find. But picking the best dividend stocks in the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) takes more than just finding a high yield. You also need an ongoing commitment from a company to keep its payout growing over time.

Fortunately, investors in the Dow Jones Industrials can get the best of both worlds: dividend growth and promising yields. All you have to do is look to an elite group of companies known as the Dividend Aristocrats. Let's take a closer look these stocks and why Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), 3M (NYSE: MMM), and Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) stand out from the crowd.
