What are Security Stove's reliance damages?

Here are the reliance damages Security Stove requested:

"Plaintiff asked damages, which the court allowed as follows: $147.00 express charges (on the exhibit); $45.12 freight on the exhibit from Atlantic City to Kansas City; $101.39 railroad and Pullman fare to and from Atlantic City, expended by plaintiff's president and a workman taken by him to Atlantic City; $48.00 hotel room for the two; $150.00 for the time of the president; $40.00 for wages of plaintiff's other employee and $270.00 for rental of the booth, making a total of $801.51."

Security Stove rented the booth before entering the contract with American Railway Express. So, if you can only rely on a contract once you have made it, the $270 could not be incurred in reliance on the contract.
