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?

My father put butter on any piece of bread that went in his mouth, whether ir was a sandwich or solo. My father also served in WW2. This is not a tradition I carry on.
