Before the first ad ran, executives of Avis and of its ad agency-Manhattan's bright, unorthodox Doyle Dane Bernbach-jointly lectured Avis employees in 300 cities to impress on counter girls and car attendants the need for that hard Avis try. They made employees fill out check lists that guard against empty gas tanks...
