Well, it's Dutch!
> Posterijen - (I think this means literally Post Office?)
You're right, well it's more of a company name. "Post Office" would be "Post
Kantoor".
> Automatiek - (I think this means Garage, what is the literal translation
> Auto Maker?)
I have no idea what the translation of "automatiek is", but it means a place
where you can buy snacks (like a snackbar).
It's the combination of a snackbar and a gumball-machine (guys! help me out

You can get a snack, by inserting a coin in a machine, then you can take the
snack out of the machine.
Nothing to do with cars.
> P.T.T. - (I can't figure out what this is an abreviation for, or what it
means)
That's the company name of the Posterijen.
Post, Telephone, Telegraf. (PTT).
Nowadays it's called KPN
