Facts

Walker-Thomas was a rent-to-own retailer. He considered all payments made by his customers rental payments until the items were paid for in full.

Customer's maintained a cumulative balance of all their items. If a customer purchased a $800 item while still having a $50, then all the customer's purchases would have been regarded as un-paid.

During the period from 1957 to 1962, Ms. Williams had purchased furniture and appliances from Walker-Thomas.
