Producer Albert H. Woods staged it on Broadway, where it opened at the George M. Cohan Theatre on August 16, 1913.

The play is a comedy featuring the characters Abe Potash and Mawruss Perlmutter, who are business partners in the garment industry.

A production on London's West End opened on April 14, 1914, at the Queen's Theatre starring Augustus Yorke and Robert Leonard.

By the fall of 1914, Woods had eight road companies presenting the show on tour.

Woods produced several theatrical sequels, including Abe and Mawruss (1915), Business Before Pleasure (1917), His Honor: Abe Potash (1919), Partners Again (1922), and Potash and Perlmutter, Detectives (1926), all written by Glass with various co-authors.
