The investment objective of the Fund is growth and income. This is a fundamental objective and cannot be changed.

The following table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Portfolio Turnover [Heading] rr_PortfolioTurnoverHeading Portfolio Turnover Policy:
Portfolio Turnover [Text Block] rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 38.45% of the average value of its portfolio. The Investment Advisor will attempt to keep turnover to a minimum.

Expense Example [Heading] rr_ExpenseExampleHeading Example:
Expense Example Narrative [Text Block] rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the operating expenses of the Fund remain the same. Based on these assumptions your costs would be:

 
Strategy [Heading] rr_StrategyHeading Principal Investment Strategies:
Strategy Narrative [Text Block] rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund will attempt to achieve its objective by investing primarily in dividend paying common stocks. The Investment Advisor of the Fund uses quantitative analysis (mathematical models using metrics such as free cash flow, book value, pension liabilities, cash per share, debt levels, etc.) to identify dividend paying common stocks that generally have investment grade credit ratings on outstanding debt (or equivalent quality if not rated by larger credit rating agencies such as Moody’s or Standard and Poors), a long history of dividend payments (at least ten years), minimum ratios of expected earnings to dividend strength, and expectation by the Advisor that the dividend may be increased in the future. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in larger capitalization dividend paying common stocks of U.S. issuers and intends to be as fully invested as possible at all times. Larger capitalization stocks are those that have a value of $5 billion and higher as determined by calculating number of shares outstanding multiplied by current share price. This is not a fundamental policy and shareholders will be given at least 60 days prior notice if there is any change in the 80% investment policy. Our Investment Strategy may at times produce a portfolio that has overweighted risk to a certain Sector, versus a fully diversified fund.

 

 
Risk [Heading] rr_RiskHeading Principal Investment Risks:
Risk Narrative [Text Block] rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

An investor could lose money in this Fund. The principal risks of investing in this Fund are:

 

a)changing stock market and economic conditions may cause total returns to go down over short and even long periods of time.
b)the investment strategies may not prove to be effective.
c)periods of declining stock market prices may cause investing in common

stock securities by the public to fall out of favor, thereby causing the Fund to underperform or lose money.

d)changes in the tax treatment on stock dividends may adversely affect the value of dividend paying stocks.
e)The Fund invests mainly in U.S. larger capitalization stocks which may underperform other stock categories such as small and international.

 

Non-Diversification risk: The Fund is non-diversified which means that it may invest a relatively high percentage of its assets in a limited number of securities. As a result, the performance of the Fund may be more subject to the moves of an individual company. The Fund seeks only enough diversification in securities selection to maintain Federal non-taxable status under Sub-Chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. See section “Tax

consequences” of this prospectus for information about requirements for Sub-Chapter M for the Fund.

 

Who should invest: This Fund is best suited for disciplined long-term investors who want to invest in a portfolio of dividend paying companies for growth and income.

 

Who should not invest: This Fund is not recommended for investors who are short term oriented and not tolerant of daily price fluctuations.

Risk/Return Bar Chart and Performance Table: The bar chart and table below provide an indication of the risks of investing in Stock Dividend Fund. The chart shows the changes in the Fund’s performance since inception. The table compares the Fund’s returns to a relative comparison benchmark. After-tax returns are calculated using historical highest federal tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an individual investor’s tax situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant to investors who hold Fund shares through tax-deferred accounts such as 401(k) plans or IRA’s. Past results are not an indication of future performance.
