    • Reception

    Like many American films of the time, Business Before Honesty was subject to restrictions and cuts by city and state film censorship boards. For example, the Chicago Board of Censors required cuts, in Reel 1, of two closeups of a fifty cent piece, and, Reel 2, scene of man looking suggestively at seat after first scene of pouring gasoline into safe.
