STOCKS PAYING INCREASING DIVIDENDS FOR 50 YRS OR MORE

Here is a list of 18 stocks with the longest number of years for increasing dividends.  You would have done pretty well if you owned the list.   The symbol DR means you can DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan)  and SP indicates if there are fees for DRIPPing.  Now for the first time, some stocks (there are 5) have increased their dividends for 60 or more consecutive years.  You have to do your own due diligence because Diebold hit 60 yrs and then stopped increasing their dividend.  So there is no guarantee that a company will remain on the list. Stocks are selected from the spread sheet of dFish on Drip  Investing: http://www.dripinvesting.org/tools/tools.asp
