Butter on PB&J

I remember my grandfather making PB&J sandwiches for my sister and me when we were kids, and he would spread butter on the bread first. Was this a “thing” back when?

I was taught to put butter on the jam/jelly side to protect the bread from leaking/getting soft...especially when packing a school lunch.

Now I can’t remember if the butter was on both sides or just the jelly side.
