[Healeys] Non-Healey, but workshop related

I have an old belt-driven, squirrel-cage blower with attached motor from a
1950's era furnace.  I think it would make a great shop/garage air mover.
Question:  Is it possible to construct a multi-position speed control for
this blower?  For example, low-high, or low-med-high.  The drive motor has
the following specs:

Two-wire (power and neutral), 1/4 HP, single-phase, 1275 rpm, 115V, 4.6A, 60
Hz, continuous duty, frame 56.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
