About: Cintas has roots tracing back to 1929, during which the Farmer family cleaned and re-sold dirty rags to manufacturing plants in Ohio. The firm has grown its business organically and through acquisitions, and today Cintas acts as a one-stop outsourcing partner for businesses. Cintas will design, manufacture, collect, and clean every employee uniform for a small weekly sum, taking on the upfront capital expense itself. In the same stop, Cintas can also replace soiled or depleted mats, mops, trash liners, towels, first aid, fire, and cleaning products. Businesses value an outsourcing partner like Cintas as it simplifies operations and leaves noncore tasks with high regulatory standards in the hands of professionals.

3 Top-Rated NOBL Dividend Picks Leading the Market
The S&P Dividend Aristocrats ETF (NOBL) may be trailing the rest of the market in the past two years, but the above-average yield (2.1%), track record of long-time dividend growers, and value focus make for a rather intriguing fund to diversify into, especially if you're ready to play more defense as you look beyond the tech sector for opportunities.
