As dividend investors we are always on the lookout for reliable sources of future income. Of course, the future is never guaranteed (as I recently wrote about dividend stocks in the death care industry) but we can use the past as a guide for potential results. We've all heard about the "mile high club," now I'd like to introduce to you the "century club," a select group of companies that have continuously paid dividends every single year for more than 100 years.
These companies have been able to pay out a part of their earnings to shareholders during the depression, two World Wars, natural disasters, terrorist events and other economic downturns. See how many are in your portfolio: Coca-Cola Company (KO), Colgate-Palmolive Co. (CL), The Procter & Gamble Company (PG), Johnson Controls Inc. (JCI), Consolidated Edison, Inc. (ED), PPG Industries Inc. (PPG), WGL Holdings Inc. (WGL), Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM), Chevron Corporation (CVX), General Mills, Inc. (GIS), Norfolk Southern Corporation (NSC), The York Water Company (YORW)
