Wesco Financial Corporation is a dividend champion and an achiever

Some people consider WSC to be a mini-BRK but Charlie states his own thoughts on that subject in the 2007 annual letter:

 

Business and human quality in place at Wesco continues to be not nearly as good, all factors considered, as that in place at Berkshire Hathaway.Wesco is not an equally-goodbut-smaller version of Berkshire Hathaway, better because its small size makes growth easier. Instead, each dollar of book value at Wesco continues plainly to provide much less intrinsic value than a similar dollar of book value at Berkshire Hathaway. Moreover, the quality disparity in book value’s intrinsic merits has, in recent years, continued to widen in favor of Berkshire Hathaway.

All that said, we make no attempt to appraise relative attractiveness for investment of Wesco versus Berkshire Hathaway stock at present stock-market quotations.

One interesting thing to note is that from a value perspective WSC is trading at a discount to its cash and book value. Considering who is at the helm I think you can trust their accounting  practices and valuations a lot more than most. 

On a slightly humorous note it looks Wesco and Berkshire do share the same web designer
