Consumer goods behemoth Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) is the Dividend Aristocrats' aristocrat -- it has lifted its payout at least once per year for more than six decades.

I've saved the best payout for last: AT&T (NYSE:T), with a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, is currently yielding a handsome 6.6%.
