Their motto was "Therapy means social, political and personal change, not adjustment". (Wikipedia).

= The railway track between Rotterdam and The Hague/ Scheveningen was the first electrified line in The Netherlands and was opened in 1908. The Zuid-Hollandsche Electrische Spoorweg-Maatschappij (ZHESM) was founded in 1900 to build electric railway lines in the province of South Holland. "Het initiatief tot de bouw van de lijn werd genomen door een groep particulieren onder leiding van de Rotterdamse zakenman P.J. van Ommeren. Doelgroep van de lijn waren Rotterdamse badgasten die naar Scheveningen wilden, en forensen die in Wassenaar en Voorburg woonden en in Rotterdam werkten" (quoted from the master thesis of R.E. Horstman, De Kop van Noord een nieuw tijdperk voor de Hofpleinlijn te Rotterdam (publ. Eindhoven, 2008). Apparently the present lot is the preparative report by Van Ommeren c.s. that led up to the founding of the ZHESM company. Judging from the fact that most of the report was written in German, Van Ommeren had to source his information from a foreign company/ foreign engineer.
