These are quality Fortune 500 companies that have long track records of consistent dividend growth: PepsiCo Inc. (NYSE:PEP), AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), Target Corporation (NYSE:TGT), Procter & Gamble Co (NYSE:PG), Kimberly Clark Corp (NYSE:KMB), Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT), 3M Co. (NYSE:MMM), Emerson Electric Co.
