Help Mr Shaw and give his photograph a suitable caption

This is a picture I have featured before
It can also be found in the collections of Chorlton pictures.

It is of Shaw’s garage on Barlow Moor Road which was there from about 1912.  Now it is a simple enough task because I want you to supply a caption for the picture which was taken to record the opening of the first kerb side petrol pump.

And so what might Mr Shaw have wanted as a suitable comment?

Now you can think your way back into the time with all the novelty that the motor car then had or try and reflect the pride of this enterprising businessman who only years before had been repairing bicycles.

I trust you can do better than the advert which appeared in 1928.

All suggestions, if any will be published on July 10th.
