Traveler's -- the St. Paul-based (sort of) -- insurance company has made the big time. It has been added to the vaunted Dow Jones 30 industrials. It and Cisco have replaced the bankrupt General Motors and the teetering Citigroup.
Here's are the current "members" of the industrials:
3M
Alcoa Inc
American Express Company
AT&T Inc
Bank of America Corporation
Boeing Co
Caterpillar Inc.
Chevron Corp
Cisco
E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Company
Exxon Mobil Corp
General Electric Company
Hewlett-Packard Co.
Intel Corporation
International Business Machines
Johnson & Johnson
JP Morgan & Chase & Co
Kraft Foods Inc.
McDonald's Corporation
Merck & Co., Inc.
Microsoft Corporation
Pfizer Inc
The Coca-Cola Company
The Home Depot, Inc.
The Procter & Gamble Company
Travelers
United Technologies Corporation
Verizon Communications
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
Walt Disney Company
There are no longer any automakers on the list.

I know most of the names on the 1979 list, how many are still around - if so what form (ie sears is now owned by kmart).
Perhaps it shouldn't be called the 'industrial' average any longer. Thank goodness McDonalds & Walmart are on the list.......they can prop up the DJIA when the others falter!
