of purchase) in which a person hires goods for a specified
period and at a fixed rent, with the added condition that if
he shall retain the goods for the full period and pay all the
installments of rent as they become due the contract shall
determine and the title vest absolutely in him, and that if
he chooses he may at any time during the term surrender the
goods and be quit of any liability for future installments
