They have been steadily increasing dividends and they split in 2004. It's my wifes favorite company...LOL

This holding - Herseys - would be the perfect counterbalance to the previous stock pick - SXL.... because of the "smallish" dividend it needs (IMHO) to be balanced out with a higher paying dividend of something. Otherwise you're losing out to inflation. But a great name with a decent chart and the only downside is that under 3% dividend.
