We all know about Johnson & Johnson, Proctor & Gamble, Clorox, Colgate-Palmolive and the like and what they have done in terms of building wealth and continually producing rising dividend streams. While I still expect continued growth in all of the companies as well as their dividends, a lot of their growth has been in the past and slower growth should be expected given their already massive sizes. So what's an investor to do if they want to find a similar business model that can potentially provide higher overall growth than their counterparts. One potential idea is the much smaller Church & Dwight Company, Inc. (CHD). Church & Dwight Co. closed trading on Friday, December 13th at $65.76, offering a current yield of 1.70%.
