Fortunately, you can find a number of solid investment choices within the Dow Jones Industrials (DJINDICES:^DJI) that yield 3% or more. Among them are Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG), and Merck (NYSE:MRK). Each of them faces challenges that could present difficulties in the short run, but they've demonstrated an ability to overcome adversity and produce long-term growth.
