Chris Clark has commented on this (via Facebook):
Extraordinary! I wonder what the compilers of this catalogue thought they meant by 'jazzing' in 1916 as the term had only just started to be applied to music - Chicago in 1915, New Orleans in late 1916. Possibly the Castles - dance tutors of the day - had something to do with this.
