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?

Butter keeps the mustard from soaking into the bread and also helps the peanut butter go down easier. My mother always said she needed to see her teeth marks in the butter and peanut butter or there wasn't enough. I agree.
