My guess is that the ground peanuts and the mayo was added together to make it more spreadable and that the combination probably tasted better than a peanut butter or a mayo sandwich. There's probably no point in the combination today because today's peanut butter is emmanantly spreadable and tastes better than the stuff that was around during the 30's.
