100 year old wisdom

On my visit to Switzerland in a room with a view out over a paddock – occasionally Alpacas were spotted too – I found a hundred year old wisdom printed on 9.5mm film:

“Attention! Ce film comporte un double début de bande. Détachez et conservez le premier, il vous servira à réparer votre film en cas de besoin.”

In free translation a marvelous combination of “The wise man saves for the future” and “Better safe than sorry”.
