International Home Foods Hopes Famous Names Deliver: IPO Focus

International Home Foods Inc. is pinning the success of its initial stock sale on its pantry of famous names such as Chef Boyardee canned pasta, Bumble Bee tuna, Campfire marshmallows and Pam cooking spray.

And then there's C. Dean Metropoulos. While not a household word like most of the company's brands, International Home Food's chairman and chief executive is one of the key reasons why investors will buy the stock.
