Two companies I know of which have direct stock purchase programs are Pepsico and Limited Brands (Victorias Secret).
Just go to their websites and click on their "investors" links. The programs are easy to take advantage of and do not charge big commissions for your stock purchases.
p.s. Now is a great time to make small stock purchases in big solid companies!
