The advertisement at the top reads Sander's Zeep, Eau deCologne The company is still in business: B.V. Koninklijke Zeep-, Eau de Cologne-en Parfumerieenfabriek v.h. Sanders & Co. and doing business as Royal Sanders with a line of perfume, etc. named for Vincent van Gogh. Also on the building is a sign reading "Quaker Oats." Today, see www.glasssteelandstone.com/BuildingDetail/229.php it carries a different advertisement. A quote from this page is: 'The White House is something of an architectural landmark in Europe. It is the continent's first skyscraper, built in 1898 for a pair of Rotterdam businessmen eager to show off their wealth. They commissioned, "a grand office building in the American spirit." This is the result: An 11-story, 147-foot structure in the French chateau style.'

This is not a "bourse" but a weigh house (Waag). See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weigh_house -which has a picture of this same building. And www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/4119294801/
