In the US of A they like their extra packaging. Instead of the grease proof paper or recycled thin foil theirs often comes in a cardboard box with 4 equal "sticks" of butter (1/4 lb) Imagine if you will your regular pound of butter unwrapped standing on end so it's taller rather than wider. Now if you were to cut it twice in a cross so that you have four long sticks of butter.
The purpose is so that it fit's nicely on a butter tray. Each lb has 4 sticks. They also measure it that way in recipes. We Canadians have markings on the outside of the package to denote measurements so we can cut just the right amount for a recipe.
