| The Wrigley Company (WWY)
is one of my (Richard Howard)
long-time favorite buy-and-hold stocks. It is the world's largest
chewing gum maker and has unique brand recognition. Look for Wrigley's
Doublemint, Juicy Fruit and other names in the eye-catching top
shelf location at checkout counters everywhere. Wrigley is a very
stable well-managed company. Four generations of the Wrigley family
have owned and managed the company since its founding in 1891. In
2006 Wrigley announced a new CEO from outside the family.
In November 2004 Wrigley purchased the Life Savers and Altoids
candy and mint businesses from Kraft Foods.
Wrigley is included in the buyupside.com
high performers portfolio and the buyupside.com
core stock portfolio, which contains dividend-paying stocks
and two exchange traded funds (ETFs).
WWY has paid dividends since 1923 and the company has a history
of regularly increasing its dividend. Consider WWY for your dividend
reinvestment portfolio.
