The Garber Collection contains materials from both his time as Mayor of Enid and as a member of Congress. It includes correspondence, speeches, supporting material, legislation, and publications mostly relating to the period of Garber's congressional career. Garber's legislative interests centered around adjusted compensation for veterans, agriculture, especially the Agricultural Marketing Act, salaries, and wages. The Garber Collection contains speeches delivered in the House and before the Republican National Committee concerning party views of issues, achievements of the party, and the Republican administration.
After leaving Washington, D.C., Garber remained very interested in politics, national affairs, and World War II. The Subject Files for Speeches reflect this interest and contain clippings, news releases, speeches, and notes from 1933-1940s. These materials are arranged alphabetically by topic. Included in this section are scripts from Garber's radio talks given in 1932.
The Post Office Files consist of correspondence relating to the appointment of postmasters and rural carriers and to changes in postal routes in Oklahoma from 1923-1933. The Miscellaneous Files, 1930s-1940s, consist mainly of business and personal correspondence. The Oversized Material, also from the 1930s and 1940s, consists mainly of newspapers. There are also a small number of photographs in the collection.
